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.

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.

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.

You will never build a new railway or anything in the country again now that environmental and native consultation is out there. They will block it all forever. We are done. What you see for infrastructure is all there will be. Canada cant get sh*t done.

Sounds like this snowflake is a loose cannon.

Authority can be exercised when they want to. Try standing in the way of a hydro line across your land. They can and will take it if they want to.
