Canada doesn’t want to end up with “high-speed rail” like the Northeast Corridor, so it’s prioritizing HFR to begin with…
We should probably start planning out an HSR right of way, but I’m not against expanding our conventional network in lieu of burning money on shit trains that run on shit tracks below conventional speeds for most of the trip anyway.
God the Northeast Corridor sucks and the fact that Amtrak is willing to call it HSR is a disgrace.
