Canada is great at high-speed rail studies — but not at actually building high-speed rail. So why is it the only country in the developed world considering a new conventional-speed passenger network?

I do think it’s worth proposing a high speed railway line. If we’re going to spend 25 years to build it anyway, might as well make it a more competitive option than air travel or car. Air travel can’t go much faster than how it is without making it way unreasonably expensive to operate. The cost to operate is more for High speed rail but not as much, it is more in the initial investment.
