Its population density again.Canada's still too small a market and too challenging geographically to make the capital project financially attractive. Once they're up and running, CN and CP prove we run railways as profitably as anyone. But we need the deep pockets of governments to get them built.
No one has a veto except taxpayers/voters, and their current fad is to imagine they can't afford their taxes while the outdated infrastructure their less-affluent parents and grandparents bought crumbles around them and needed projects, like renewable energy, like pollution remediation, like efficient, environmentally-safe high-speed rail go unbuilt.
the only viable route is Windsor-Toronto-Montreal may justify the costs.Its population density again.
We don't have enough big cities close enough together to justify the infrastructure costs.
Far more than Trump's wall. Certainly not against hi speed rail but it has to be managed properly and not turned into a boondoggle. Furthermore, it should be funded through public-private partnerships.Stupid decision.
Less than the price of Trump's wall.
Less than a tenth the price of the US military's annual budget.
Having taken the high speed trains in Europe, I can assure you, they are the way to go. North Americans are ludites when it comes to high speed trains.
You're still wrong. Repetition doesn't make your statement true. Word-for-word repetition just makes it dull.The indigenous people, the activist courts and lefty protestors all have veto power over any projects, including Trans-Mountain Pipeline.
The costs are up becauseSince 1980 the US has spent $1.6 trillion on extreme weather damage costs.

2017's extreme weather damage was $300 billion alone.
Who's paying for that?
WRONG!The costs are up because
1. Costs of rebuilding is higher. Construction cost inflation is generally double that of the CPI. And in case of a natural disaster such as a hurricane, demand always spikes & costs do as well. Simple economics. You should try using it sometime.
2. More people are living closer to the coasts, despite hurricanes occurring along the coasts since ..... forever. More people means more buildings & infrastructure placed where hurricanes occur. Hello!
3. New orleans was built on a swamp. Hello again! Bad planning from centuries ago finally came home to roust. ........................But do not let the truth get in the way of your propaganda
It just might be more expensive for insurance companies for a lot of reasons not related to climate change.
Remember what happened to the Union Station to Pearson express train?Far more than Trump's wall. Certainly not against hi speed rail but it has to be managed properly and not turned into a boondoggle. Furthermore, it should be funded through public-private partnerships.
You mean the UP Express?Remember what happened to the Union Station to Pearson express train?
Took over a decade to build at a cost of almost 4 times the original budget. Then when it was finally built they implemented insane pricing - one way for $27. Now it is more reasonable about $25 for a round trip Union-Pearson.Remember what happened to the Union Station to Pearson express train?
Without looking at anything I'd say Hawaii is pretty blue too as is Vermont. Hell Vermont keeps sending a socialist to the Senate every six years.
California's Silicon Valley continues to be the driving force of technology. Misfit toys is the present age Trump administration. i.e. Build a Wall that Mexico will Pay for it. Sheer Trumptard insanity!!https://sf.curbed.com/2019/2/12/18222279/governor-gavin-newsom-high-speed-rail-canceled-california
California, the Land of Misfit Toys. Original budget was $40B ballooned to $77B-$100B. And AOC wants to implement this nationwide as part of her Green Deal. Sheer liberal insanity.
