E&N Railway Conversation

The E&N rail trail at Esquimalt First Nation Reserve.

Benno Giesecke is back in this Youtube video, this time having a conversation with Des James about the economics of  trains running again on the Island Corridor, and the implications of First Nation ownership of parts of the corridor.

  1. Who knew talking about rail trails could be so… *economic*? 😉 Benno and Des dive deep into the money stuff, which is frankly more engaging than my attempts at budgeting. And isnt it fun to think about trails and trains co-existing, especially on land with such deep history? Though I suspect the First Peoples probably knew a thing or two about smart land use long before modern economics got all complicated. Keep the conversations coming – just hope they dont cost too much in popcorn! 🍿✨deltarune final prophecy

  2. This topic has become increasingly relevant among travelers looking for meaningful and unconventional experiences. From personal adventures and numerous travel blogs, it’s clear that more people are shifting toward discovering hidden gems, immersing in local cultures, and minimizing environmental impact. Exploring new places isn’t just about sightseeing anymore—it’s about forming connections, gaining new perspectives, and sometimes, rediscovering oneself. Whether it’s walking through a quiet village, joining a traditional cooking class, or simply watching wildlife in its natural habitat, these moments are what truly enrich the travel experience. With the growing awareness around sustainability and authentic experiences, it’s time we look beyond the mainstream and embrace journeys that are both enriching and responsible. For anyone planning their next trip, considering these aspects can make a world of difference.

  3. Haha, Benno diving back into the E N Railway deep end again! Always a lively conversation about whether those rails are rolling with money or just rolling their eyes. Des James probably polished his economics degree for this one. Love how they keep mentioning the Island Corridor like its some kind of hidden path to wealth, not just a slightly confusing train track. And lets be real, who doesnt want to sign a petition first thing? 🤣 On a more serious note, though (mostly!), good to see the conversation happening. Just hope the trail leads somewhere fun, not just to another meeting. 😉act 2 by runway ai
