Ugh. Why did we ever privatize rail. People would riot if we privatized the highway network, and yet…
I’m gonna take a guess without watching and say:
Because freight company CP owns the lines people use riding Via.
And the various governments for decades have done nothing about anything to make rail better.
Actually, Canada is a leader in high speed rail studies.
I may be wrong but I recall learning somewhere that the recent rail project used the UK and Australia as a study for it. Neither of these countries are known for amazing high speed rail. Why didn’t we look at Japan, France, Spain, or other countries that have world renowned high speed rail, high ridership rates, and good frequency?
The the time to build this rail was decades ago, lets use some of the most successful examples to study so we can catch up and build a modern system instead of building something that is already outdated.
Our studies are exemplary.
You should see our UBI studies! We’ve got studies coming out our fucking ears.
…Do we?
I mean we have at least two study trials, Minome in Manitoba in the 70s and the Ontario Basic Income Pilot Project in 2017 (though that one was cancelled after a few months due to a change in government).
