    I hate when they compare us to Europe though. Maybe Toronto and Quebec are different since they are older but our cities are generally more sprawled with fewer people then Europe.

    • Not in the Quebec-Windsor corridor. There’s enough people, and the density is high enough for rail to be useful.

      The environmental benefits are great and all, but you’ll get downtown to downtown faster and cheaper than car or train with high speed rail. Like, get off work in downtown Toronto, eat on the train, and watch a Sens game at 7 at LeBreton Flats, and back home for midnight sort of speed.
