..and Canada is yet the only G7 country to not have a high-speed train.

In fact, in Canada, trains are slow, expensive and not well-deserved that you are better-off using your car or plane ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Barcelona-Madrid | 503km | 2h30 by train | 46$CAD (33 euros)

Toronto-Montreal | 541km | 5h by train | 93$CAD (68 euros)

My dream is a high-speed train from Vancouver to Kelowna and Calgary, with an optional leg to Edmonton. Like a Rocky Mountain Express. I believe this would be a massive driver of economic growth for the West Coast of Canada.

What hurts my soul is that Canada has the wealth to afford it, the engineering chops to build it but we lack the political will. Even more I feel we lack the belief and the vision.
