I may be wrong but I recall learning somewhere that the recent rail project used the UK and Australia as a study for it. Neither of these countries are known for amazing high speed rail. Why didn’t we look at Japan, France, Spain, or other countries that have world renowned high speed rail, high ridership rates, and good frequency?

The the time to build this rail was decades ago, lets use some of the most successful examples to study so we can catch up and build a modern system instead of building something that is already outdated.

Let your grandkids deal with the climate, housing, and oligarch crisis, we have profits to be made today!

Almost as if it is a terrible idea to rip out new infrastructure just to still not solve traffic, but remember, conservatives are “good with money” and “are good for the economy.”

We just simply couldn’t find anyone local in the GTA with the skillset to pour coffee, we need the government to subsidize a worker for us.

Wear PPE and wash thoroughly afterwards. Or call a professional who deals with wildlife to remove as they likely have experience safely handling dead animals.

Couldn’t they just use our existing curved screen technology that we see on gaming and work station monitors? The real innovation here is being stretchy and moldable and i doubt those features are needed for a dashboard.

Part of this is our polticians don’t make enough effort to make their names known. It would be nice if they reached out more with what they want to propose and what they’ve been doing for Canadians.

Tomorrow’s headline: massive wave of rent increases inbound to keep the real estate economy “competitive”

We need to build a country that can support the increased immigration. That means building denser and more affordable apartments and homes. It means investing in transit to move people. It means investing in healthcare to care for our population. It means investing in manufacturing and other sectors to ensure job growth and keep Canada producing things. Instead our politicians are using immigration as cheap labour while we keep growing the housing bubble and stagnate on production.

It almost feels like they want us to keep flipping sides every few years and never make any progress. It just feels so stagnant and every time we make progress like bike lanes, someone else reverses all that work and spends even more money.

One thing that could help would be the liberals pushing forward a new leader. People are fed up with Justin regardless if it is justified. The liberal party will lose voters to the right if they don’t push forward a new face that Canadians are willing to give a fresh shot. If the liberals fail to provide new leadership to their party, they are partially at fault for a conservative win, they refuse to listen to their voter base.

I think a lot of people think trump is good for economy for reasons like stripping away environmental regulations. Sure it might make a company cheaper to operate without regulations but often times it is exponentially more expensive to deal with the damages.

So we shouldn’t build rail because its gonna hurt some capitalist’s profits. Got it.

It isn’t they can’t build them, it is moreso they don’t want to because of profit margins and influences from CAFE standards makes small cars hard to build and big SUVs easier due to some backwards fuel economy regulations.

Those automakers are at least trying to compete by building small cars. I see more ads for electric f150s than i see for compact cars in north america.

And if we never build it it will never address the needs of commuters. Your government doesn’t think twice about a new road or expanding an existing one but will delay transit for years.

Your best option is voting for people who will build transit in your local elections

Sounds like a tram/light rail would be the perfect EV for you

Until we tax them ridiculously (50-100%) to keep things “fair” for the american auto makers that refuse to build anything smaller than a chevorlet suburban.

Some water company bought land in Colorado, pumped as much water as they wanted, lowered the level of the aquifer significantly enough to cause local wells to run dry for years, and it was perfectly legal for the company to do that. We need protections to prevent similar stories in Canada. Not just people but many local or even distant ecosystems depend on our aquifers.
