I would too. But if you look around this country, people seem to prefer their own cars, at any expense over any type of public transit.

Hard to say. If you had a viable transit system it may be different.

I've taken public transit in Johannesburg, Las Vegas, and Buenos Aires.


I've never taken it in Saskatoon, though I tried to use the bus when Kurtis was born and we spent a week in the hospital... Connections didn't work out... So I took the truck in and out of that... Um... Maze.. ... Um... I meant parkade.

What is most needed is a HUGE dense population, nothing works in relatively UNPOPULATED Canada. And the rights of ONE out weigh the whole country..."Turdo 2 "
There were two hours on aerial China on Bell, very impressive!

I agree all we need is another billion people to tax and away we go.

I've always believed that if anything good, besides the defeat of nazi Germany, ever came out of ww2 it was the unbelievable technological advances made by man kind. The years between 1939 and 1945 saw medical, nuclear, jet propulsion and on and on and on.

With a billion or more people .
High speed rail , makes perfect
Sense.
That would be a unmanageable amount of cars

Was in London. Subway/rail was great. Lots of walking from train to train to keep you fit.
Lost 5 lbs.in 3 weeks. 10 times
Faster than a bus . And it always seemed you could end up within 2-3
Blocks of anything.. amazing and clean. Paris not so clean but it worked.

The Windsor to Montreal corridor would justify a high speed rail link. Lots of talk about it, but no action. High speed rail may not make money. But then the road system doesn't make money either and is considered a public service paid for by tax payers.

Ride sharing, shared ownership of cars, self driving cars are all going to change the transportation landscape in many urban centres. Our economy, our infrastructure, our cities, our lives have all been heavily influenced by the automobile.

People prefer cars for transportation because there are often no other decent options. But we are subsidizing the road system in favour of cars. And traffic problems in urban centres are a big cost to the economy.

As for the MAGA hat .
Teachers power tripping.
What else is new.

I got shamed and kicked out of
Grade 6 public school class .
For refusing to say the lords prayer. In the morning
At least he did not drag me out by the ear like other kids.

Only way Canada gets properly capitalized is if we let the americans do it.

Vancouver’s skytrain is awesome. Airport to Coal Harbour in no time at all.

There's lots of things that don't make an immediate return... Look at the Interstate system south of the border....

But that kind of infrastructure is what gives a nation the capacity to expand.... And that's what we desperately need.

Agree with the rest of your post.

Also wanted to add the younger generation doesn't perceive driving like older people do... many would rather ride share, ride public transit, anything but drive...

It was on Gormley today. I forget the teacher’s name but he and the boy were named. Maybe someone who listened to Gormley today can help me out.

On Gormley show again today.
Art teacher in Moose Jaw (Peacock School)
Last name was Redstone?

Sounds like the teacher should stay away from children but only has had to apologize so far.
