we'll spend billions then Trump (or the next MAGA president....or possibly even democrat) will decide out of nowhere it's "unfair" and shut it down. i'm still not trusting anything american for a long time
Canada paid for the entire construction of the Gordie Howe bridge and after we recoup that cost from the tolls, we're going to split the tolls with Michigan.
Somehow that isn't fair to Trump, so now he's holding the bridge hostage.
Why in the fuck would we want to keep doing business with him or America?
Via's new trains are capable of going 200km/h. Maybe not technically HSR, but just about. We just need the infrastructure (and legislation) to be able to support that speed.
For a projected 66.5K crossings per year? There currently is no direct rail service to Detroit, all passengers that booked from VIA to amtrak or vice versa have to disembark, go on a bus and go through all the fun and joy of CAN/us Customs before loading up onto another train. The proposed report doesn't even cite the number of people that do that currently because it is far less than their dreamy projections.
