Meanwhile in North America, Canada’s VIA is operating on a shoestring and being further threatened … and in the last 50 years the US has pulled up most of the rails that were installed in the previous century. We’re stuck with airplanes, hybrid metro-transit, and what’s left of Greyhound. But, hey, we’ve got a world to police!

    And that is with shit rail infrastructure. Guess what would happen if we’d actually invest in rails?

      This is totally unrelated but we don’t use that comma after ‘Guess’ in English. I’m reminded of it because I’m learning German and it’s been very difficult for me to remember to put commas after “I think” etc.

      Hell would freeze over, that’s what would happen.
