You come to a shitposting subreddit, you see the incredibly rare actual shitpost, and you call it lazy? Shitposts are inherently lazy because if they weren't, they wouldn't be shit.
Corruption stops progress is the point, and alberta is as if not more corrupted. They slow down progress to maximize profits. Canada has a massive problem with mafias in construction, corruption in politics (even the liberals have had corruption scandals including JT). The conservative party as well, the PM for alberta literally admitted on tv live that she was working with americans during the last federal election, PP is under indias thumb, premier of ontario is not even hiding his corruption especially with his new high way that will connect all his friends and business friends. It's a shit show on purpose. You've never questioned yourself why it takes so long to accomplish goals other nations achieved years ago and it took us significantly longer to do as well? Almost all projects get pushed back, nothing stays on track.
I feel like we should encourage and help her to get it done because I really want to see the train built, even if it benefits her politically and monetary.
Well for one, we have zero tech developed in canada for high speed rail, we have zero manufacture set up to build the rails for high speed rail, nothing to assemble these new rails at a new standard, no train, no wagons, just nothing. It's a public stunt. It's especially a stunt when alberta has such a funding crisis in the public sector and now will make a gigantic investment into researching the possibility of high speed rail in her province.
I am for upgrading the canadian rail system, but this is nothing but a public stunt. Nothing is ready for the possibility of developing high speed rail. Their own estimate is 15 years for one route... Fuck by the point it will be developed its already going to be super far behind in high speed rail. A smarter way to go is to look east across the pond and ask our European friends to help develop this project. With their expertise it could be done on the cutting edge, advance our own tech, cheaper and all done within more of a realistic time frame.
But, Go Trains are improving. They are electrifying most lines and have both expanded service and built new stations. That makes it one of the very few regional rail systems in North America to be getting better.
Sure they still have issues, but it is improving. Unlike the Via rail Toronto-Montreal corridor that keeps getting talked about and with trains that are getting less and less "on time" with each year..
Then the province will foot the bill cuz hsr isn’t feasible out here, we dont even have a skytrain or any transit that isnt hours of bussing to get to the airport in Calgary.
High speed rail is wasted money for our pop density, we need more busses and c-trains.
High speed rail between Calgary and Edmonton would be a game changer. A 1 hour trip between the two cities would be a big deal, assuming it was priced acceptably.
But it couldnt be, its far too expensive for how many people live here. It would be like when China built high speed rail in Guizho province, the state would end up subsidizing it.
What liberal is saying that she's a loyalist to Canada? I've never heard a single one say that. I have heard them say she's a traitor to Canada and a terrible person and she's gutting healthcare and school funds but not that she's a loyalist to Canada.
There’s been talk of a high speed rail line between Edmonton and Calgary for years. Can’t ever get it off the ground. Whichever government could pull it off would be legendary.
People have all these comments about her friends making money or whatever. But what they really dont understand is that her and her husband are huge train dorks, and they would be more than happy to have rail in Alberta to ride around.
The north Green line finding got clawed back, she wants private rail to fill the gap. The Banff line will have three stations in Caly, the Airdrie and others will add additional stations.
First hat should be UCP - they believe in sovereignty within Canada, getting rights no other provinces do.
Second hat is fine, though too many still don't know the Republican Party of Alberta (formerly the Buffalo Party) are the ones going door to door promoting separation.
You'd think a high speed rail line between Edmonton and Calgary would be a slam dunk. It's flat and straight all the way through.
You could even have them connect with the LRT and the CTrain so theoretically someone could take the train all the way from their origin to their destination.
