The Parti Québécois (PQ) has announced that it intends to pull Quebec out of the Alto high-speed rail project should it win the upcoming election. This declaration introduces a layer of political uncertainty surrounding the initiative as of mid-2026.
Alongside this political development, there have been notable protests from farmers and local citizen groups in Quebec opposing the Alto project. These groups have expressed concerns about the potential effects the rail development could have on their communities and livelihoods.
