Today, I wrote to the governors, senators and congressmen and women from New York, Michigan and Minnesota putting them on notice that Ontario is prepared to add a 25 per cent surcharge to the electricity we export to their states if President Trump’s tariffs remain in place.
If we have to, we won’t hesitate to increase the charge or shut the electricity off completely.

Creating a Metrolinx type of organization like in Toronto would fit quite well in the project we propose in Alberta since we don't plan to operate in our model.
@ABDanielleSmith, we would be happy to discuss the details at your convenience.

Alberta's new Passenger Rail Master Plan signals a deep commitment to improving the quality of life and boosting the economy in Alberta. TransPod’s own feasibility study for building an ultra-high-speed transportation system connecting Edmonton and Calgary — a trip that will take only 45 minutes — will create 140,000 jobs and add $19.2B to the region’s GDP throughout construction. In fact, we’ve already confirmed $550M USD to build it, and it won't cost taxpayers a dime.
We're excited to contribute to the development of transit systems in Alberta, starting with initiating construction of our test-track. Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this journey together!
Watch this @CTVNews segment on Alberta’s passenger rail plan highlighting TransPod’s plans for the region:

Imagine a journey from Toronto to Montreal in just over an hour –
Our innovative system seamlessly combines the design of a plane with the functionality of a train, reaching speeds of over 1,000 km/h with eco-friendly, plasma-powered propulsion.
Seeking partnerships with industry giants like @DHLUS, @FedEx, and @amazon for transformative impact. Collaborating with Alberta on ultra-high-speed rail, targeting readiness by 2035. 🌐🚆

“This is going to change people’s connectivity at a regional level — but a regional level now means a thousand kilometers.” — @Sebastien_Gen, head of TransPod, which is on its way to building a tube-train capable of traveling 600 mph via @zeitchikWaPo.
