To the Editor,

It is estimated that one quarter of the world’s population speak Spanish. What’s more about 1/4 of Montréalers speak Spanish. Alto means Halt/Stop in Spanish. It’s a curiously inappropriate, one might say stupid, name chosen by the big brains carrying the potential $100 billion high speed train project. Why aren’t federal politicians and Canadians more worried?
