First stop on my road trip was at Toronto’s Union Station, which is where I had to switch trains. For such a big country Canada has really poor rail service, especially in the Windsor-to-Ottawa corridor. You should be able to just blast right through without an hour lay-by.
Union Station, however, is a grand building, even if it’s really easy to get lost there. Luckily there were plenty of people I could ask directions from. And right across the street is the famous Royal York Hotel, which I think I stayed at once, years ago.


Very grand. It looks huge, and I like the floor.

How’s it going with the Trudeau thing? Keep meaning to ask.

He’s resigned. The Liberals are trying to find some other stiff to put in there. Probably not going to help.

Yeah, I think that’s pretty much inevitable now. Oh well. Liberals were terrible. Don’t think the Tories will be any better. Fun times.

I wonder who does the math to figure out what’s the best for time, etc in doing trains. I don’t think I’ve ever traveled by train, so I have zero idea.

There was even a big delay on this trip because there was a blocked track. The trains don’t run on time.

We had a John Galt! They named Galt after him.

There’s your problem. He was a novelist. He wasn’t living in the real world with everybody else…
