Privatization
editSerious point of view and citation issues. Section shows NDP bias and is citing an explicitly political source (NDP website), no primary sources are cited here. This section needs to be updated with concrete plans from VIA/federal gov't rather than speculation (public-private partnership is distinct from full privatization).

- Itemized the whole redundant section. The issue is much better (that is NPOV and style fixes) in the paragraph immediately proceeding the section without the false assertion of privatization that is not in evidence. oknazevad (talk) 13:57, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
Proper way of writing VIA Rail
editVIA rail shall always be written with the V, the I and the A in capital letters. 2607:FA49:B840:AA00:88C8:452A:CCFB:93C7 (talk) 22:07, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
- MOS:TM. Not on Wikipedia. oknazevad (talk) 00:09, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

- According to MOS:TM, "exceptions may apply, but Wikipedia relies on sources to determine when an unusual name format has become conventional for a particular trademark; only names that are consistently styled a particular way by a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources are styled that way in Wikipedia." A quick look at journalistic sources (IE: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/via-rail-bill-people-over-freight-1.7066700) shows that it is normally spelled Via outside of Via Rail's trademarking. 138.51.82.49 (talk) 15:24, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Too Many Subsection Headers Box
editThe only issue I can see is the 'background' section not entirely needing a heading. Otherwise I think it is fine. Millsy0303 (talk) 05:39, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
