VANCOUVER ISLAND RAIL CHALLENGES
In Jun 2022 I started advocating for the Restoration and improvement of the Vancouver Island Rail Corridor after finding out that Petition votes had stalled at 1462 votes. Along the way I’ve run into some very loud voices that continuously say the same misinformed things. With the votes over 10120 now, I thought it might be time to address the main anti-rail rhetoric together in one place.
The loss of the Vancouver Island Rail Corridor
The loss of the Vancouver Island Rail Corridor will cost Vancouver Island residents for decades.
It took me a considerable amount of time to figure out how to articulate this with compassion and understanding after a lot of learning, I just hope the message helps anyone that is lost in all this complexity see through the pain and just take a peek at the 10-50 year impacts that not having it will incur.
