Union

But I have never seen on this scale the amount of protests and kind of anti-America.

anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian, pro-Islam, right? You have now here in Toronto or here in Ontario, in Toronto, there was Union Station was taken over by a pro-Palestinian protest to the point where we had friends who were going down to the Jays game and couldn't get through Union Station.

We see this on university campuses across Canada and in North America, more and more on the states.

I mean, the states of all places, right? where people are now rallying to support Islam.

The A unit always faces north and has a cafe in it, although sadly I don't think it's been used since COVID, and the B unit faces south and contains a restroom.

These are also operated by the Union Pearson Express between Toronto Union Station and the Toronto Pearson International Airport, and those vehicles actually do have Centre C cars, which have no cabs, but Smart, much to its later chagrin, never ended up ordering these.

Overall, these Nippon Shoryu DMUs are 36 of a kind, they are presently discontinued, and Smart and the UPE are the only operators in North America.

I will note that I was actually overwhelmingly impressed by these vehicles.

Uh, I would say it's a lot nicer than Amtrak.

The train started at Toronto Station, ended at Montreal Union Station about five hours, only made like three or four stops.

It was pretty quick.

I think it was getting up to like 100 miles per hour or so.

We're really looking for, to Niagara, is two-way all-day service and, and that's huge.

You can take the train from, from Grimsby right to downtown Toronto to Union Station, go to a Jays game, and you don't have to leave in the eighth inning to make the last train back.

We need to make it so it's seamless.

Certainly, um, with the region and regional transit using Presto cards, that's gonna be developed so it will be seamless.

You could get right... use, uh, UP Express from Union and get right up to the airport.

So that's something that, that, um, if transit is seamless, more people will use it, which in turn will get more people off the, uh, QEW.

Grimsby owns 90% of Grimsby Power, our local electrical utility.
