inakaimoI think there needs to be a train culture first before Canadians support the idea of a high speed rail. When extensive Japanese-style train networks are in place that will allow people to comfortably commute between let's say Hamilton and Toronto, then we can concentrate on trains that will allow rapid travel between Toronto and Montreal. But let's be realistic, will that ever happen? Two words: Tokens and Turnstiles.
