Canada is unique compared to it's G7 peers..
We are the only one out of this group of developed nations that DOESN'T have any sort of High Speed Rail system.
Not even "baby" high speed rail which is over 200km/h..
There have been decades of discussions on this subject, with not much to show for it. But in 2022.. that all changed!
The most recent news to the High Frequency/High Speed Rail file reveals some bombshells about the future of this critical infrastructure in Canada.
Things are finally moving but this future, as it turns out, is one that may not include VIA Rail in it at all..
Watch this video for a deep dive into all things high frequency/high speed rail in Canada.. so you can get caught up to speed (pun is very much intended!)
Thank you for watching and please drop your comments and thoughts below!!
