I don't disagree at all, but I do want to caution that as people who support changes in where investment money goes we have to make sure that "big city" changes like high speed rail aren't all we talk about. The opponents have a good talking point regarding people who drive 10,20,50 km to work not having access to bus or rail. Yes, that is often the fault of those provincial leaders not investing in it, but it doesn't change the criticism. We need to make sure we are investing in rural provinces and suburban areas to make public transport preferable in those areas too. Especially town to town transport or we won't win rural support.
When Greyhound shut down and the feds did nothing, they missed a prime opportunity to help instead of hinder. It could have been used as a major election plank as well, ie: promise fulfilled.
Unfortunately we may well have the big-C's back in power instead. :(
