Could you imagine how much the cost would be, to build a high speed rail system across a country the size of Canada, it would be staggering.
Comparing Europes high speed rail systems is certainly not a fair comparison, first off you can fit most of Europe into the eastern provinces, Quebec and Ontario and still have space left over. Now if we were to build one say from PEI to Quebec or Ontario, would be a more realistic comparison to Europes system.
My wife and I plan a cross country trip on out 30Th wedding anniversary in 2010 and we are taking the rail, not because its cheap or we're in a hurry, but because it's the best way to see our country other than driving. We can relax, we have our own sleeper car, restaurant, bar, and best of all, a great view of our beloved country from coast to coast. We have been planning this now for 5 years and we are really looking forward to it. Yes it's expensive, but so is a cruise or a trip to Europe and we've done that, this time we decided its time we've seen what's in our own back yard, we don't have to worry about passports, customs, just sit back and relax and enjoy the journey and the rail is by far still the best choice.
