    Yet still super expensive since you need hundreds of kilometers of rail and rail maintenance between major cities not just dozens, will less passengers and tax base to pay for it.

      Its only expensive because you’re drowning in a cost control crisis. Its concrete sleepers, steel rails and gravel. Its rather cheap compared to road infrastructure.

      Its only expensive because you want it to be. Will of the people and all that.

          Canada has the same land area as Europe, with a population close to the population of Poland.

            You might note that the United States is, in fact, not Canada. Also your picture literally demonstrates what I said. Are you blind or just stupid?

              A system is what a system does.

              A country is where the people are. Where are the people again?

              Canada has even less excuse for shit rail.
