You mentioned further down the thread that Canada doesn’t have the population for significant passenger rail development, which gets brought up a lot in this discussion. I can’t directly dispute that point, but doesn’t around 90% of the population live within 100km of the US border? We don’t need a network across the entire land mass, just hit at least one major city in each mainland province (sorry territories & maritimes) to start. One line for 90% seems like it would be a good deal unless I am missing something.
