M. Grégoire<p>"There’s three phases in the project’s development. There’s procurement, which is unique because we’re procuring not someone that will build, but we’re signing a contract with a consortium that will develop the project in partnership with us. We’re not giving them the keys, but we’re also not keeping the keys. So, that starts in the fall and will last six or seven years."</p><p><a href="https://www.ipolitics.ca/news/high-speed-rail-between-toronto-and-quebec-city-likely-still-more-than-a-decade-away-says-ceo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ipolitics.ca/news/high-speed-r</span><span class="invisible">ail-between-toronto-and-quebec-city-likely-still-more-than-a-decade-away-says-ceo</span></a></p><p><a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/VIARail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VIARail</span></a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/HFR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HFR</span></a> <br><a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/CanPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanPol</span></a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cdnpoli</span></a> <br><a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/iPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iPolitics</span></a></p>

GeekFurious<p>Pro Tip: Don't read any positive reviews for <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/Avatar2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Avatar2</span></a>. Only read negative reviews. It will temper your expectations AND prepare you for the 24 to 48fps back and forth that could be more obvious to some than others. <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/avatar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>avatar</span></a> <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/thewayofwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thewayofwater</span></a> <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/hfr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hfr</span></a></p>
