    the things that other countries have done with great success are all things we can implement in Canada

    At least in parts of Canada.

    I doubt high speed rail is a viable solution between Vancouver and Calgary.

      Yeah, that route would suck for anything land-based. Flights are around $100, and would get you there in 1/10 the time that driving would.

      But you wouldn’t build high-speed rail lines for routes nobody would take. I don’t even think Via rail has a station in Calgary… Edmonton, yes, but Calgary is on its own!
