This is what a serious high speed rail proposal looks like. The number of trains running should dictate the schedule, instead of having the infrastructure be the bottleneck.

If I were PM 10-20 yrs from now, I'd recruit the best performing managers, leaders, engineers, architects and designers from the Cadence consortium into a crown corp to continue high speed rail work, perhaps for Edmonton to Calgary, Toronto to Windsor, Regina to Saskatoon, then just pick a bunch of other 200 to 300km major city pairs to connect in a standard style.

That's sounds like a great idea but it isn't who yours and your MPs' corporate-linked donors would ask you to hire. 🤭
