For all the shit we give the USA this is probably the dumbest corridor in the entire world to not have high speed rail

As someone who lived in three of the locations on this map, I could not agree more. Mindbogglingly stupid

It's our national shame.

Imagine a Motor City international rail hub.

We're supposed to have high-speed rail here in the central valley of California, ohhh, sometime before I die.

Accurate.

I don't want to make light of victim blaming... But that corridor is clearly asking for it...

Even more so when with a single border crossing you can easily connect Detroit and Chicago…

Instead they want to keep widening the 401.

Torontonian here. You are correct.

"Oh I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!" "Yeah, well, if we had high-speed rail you could be, but now you're a broken man on a Halifax pier."
