Especially to can'tservatives. It means changing something 😱

Right now there's some 650000 vehicles per day using the highway and they're hoping 72000 people will be able to use a fully built and utilized HSR. It makes no sense Congestion is the problem. Start encouraging public/corporate ownership of Google-cars and put private cars in the slowest lanes. Absolutely. I just don't think they'll ever come close to moving enough people on a daily basis to ever justify the cost compared to what we have now. We'd be better off fixing and adapting what's already on the ground to our needs.

Stop making them in the first place.

LMAO!

I'm pretty sure Pakistan and Gaza would be appalled to know they're being compared to America.

It's pretty subjective all right. Economics is only a liberal art don't forget. It's not like STEM or something.

To verify that's where it arrived.

We should really do something about that one day. Michael's suggestion of switching to digital currency so we can always follow the money comes to mind.

Either or...we should be looking forward to the day when automated cars come with a bar. And don't get me started on traffic congestion...one day people will just google one up on an app when they need to get somewhere. Yes but you're forgetting the economy needs to stop growing if we... Meh....never mind.

Don't hold your breath. Canada has only ever had 40 balanced budgets and has never been debt-free in its entire existence.

This train line will still only be able to handle a fraction of the traffic. I'd sooner see 90 billion invested in automating the 401 with computer systems that can synchronize 'trains' of cars all heading to the same destination and probably get them there faster than a HSR. We're well down the path towards automated driving already so automating our roads to meet this development halfway seems logical and doable. It would basically mean installing WIFI stations along the roads or using satellites to handle the traffic $90 billion should go a long way towards kick starting this. It would open the door to all sorts of opportunities for tech companies. They could dedicate a couple of lanes either way for cars already capable of automatic driving and open up more lanes as more capable cars come onto the market. There'd be no need for stations or appropriating property. As I understand it most of the money going towards this is to compensate property owners. Obviously over time the system could be the expanded anywhere. Canada could position itself to be the world leader in automating road systems. HSR is already on the path towards obselescence. Jumping onboard now would be typically Canadian. We should have learned our lesson with PetroCan.

The fundamental delusion that gives conservatives hope. This Holy Grail is a wishful illusion on a horizon that's receding in the rearview mirror.

Yup

Yes I was.

Nope.

I was lying

Yup that's what I said alright.

Especially if it pokes Trump with a sharp stick.

That's just plain mean.

Makes you want to round em' up and go all Pinochet on them doesn't it?

🤔

Yup, a threat. Being human trumps every identity in the known universe. You know I voted for Carney.

As Tommy pointed out in the clip it's all driven by demand which is driven by population growth. No, most of us just don't think having more of them is the solution. Some of us are convinced nature will see to it our population is reduced before that sinks in.

I probably wouldn't be allowed because I identify as an Earthling. It's just human beings where I'm from.

I also said shit or get off the pot. I never did. You have me confused with one of your hallucinations.
