Lots of people on Reddit were in disbelief about all the positive REM videos, thinking it was a CDPQ conspiracy.
No, people really do like transit that much. You just don’t follow it when it happens in other cities.
And on top of that, the REM really is a particularly exciting project!

It’s wild to me that the CDPQ has been building a successful, clean, green investment portfolio for nearly a decade and yet the leaders of several #Quebec political parties are currently advocating fracking

Over the last seven years, Quebec's pension fund has built what has become one of the more progressive climate-investment machines among the world's institutional investors.
Quebec pension giant bets on 'patient capital' to build clean energy future
In 2018, Emmanuel Jaclot asked his future boss a pointed question in his own job interview: how was La Caisse’s then year-old climate-action strategy progressing? “It's coming,” came the answer. Eight...

I have to say, the REM is so fantastic, it's going to make the Eglinton Crosstown feel even more like a let down. Ironically, the Eglinton stations seem a lot more impressive, but the REM is just so fast, frequent and high capacity by comparison.

And like CDPQ is a crown corporation, independently run from the government, but still owned by it. So really if CDPQ becomes a huge problem for the REM a strong enough government can just pass laws changing the crown corporation and retake control of the REM. CDPQ isn't a private corporation!

It's preventive self-NIMBYing. Everybody remembers what happened with the REM de l'Est, including the CDPQ Infra folks, who are part of Cadence, so they fear two things more than God: dealing with CN & CP and some group of neighbours rallying against some visible infrastructure

The only thing kind of different about the CDPQ is that they’ll invite transit nerds and social media accounts to the openings alongside traditional media. I don’t think all agencies do that.
Last time that meant riding the train a day before the public. This time it was maybe an hour before.
