Evkob@lemmy.ca 1 year agoSeriously, half the fucking country lives in the Québec City - Windsor corridor and we don’t even have a high speed train there?? It’s a political issue, not a geographical one.

But Canada is “too big” for rail. Except of course all those railways 100 years ago that pretty much made this nation possible, or how nearly every city had trams in most neighborhoods.

And the Trans-Siberian railway has existed for years, is thousands of miles long in awful conditions, AND electrified. We don’t have an excuse.

Isn’t there an HST project’s route being prospected between Calgary and Edmonton?

except for the places in the north where people CURRENTLY LIVE that are only reachable by train and airplane (not even sure about the last one, might be helicopter if the terrain is shitty enough)
