    About half the country lives in the Windsor to Quebec city corridor, a region with population density of Spain.

    Most of the northern wilderness is unoccupied. It makes no sense to say we can’t have good passenger rail just because Victoria Island exists.

      Yeah nobody is saying that the Yupik villages need subways, but Toronto should probably have a good light rail.
