Monte Paulsen, author of The Tyee series on high-speed rail, provides a précis of Canada’s efforts and lack thereof when it comes to high-speed rail.

The article moves beyond Windsor-Quebec City, discussing the Edmonton-Calgary corridor, which noted high-speed rail activist Paul Langan suggests may have a better chance of achieving high-speed rail. The consortium backing this corridor is arguing that government must level the playing field with other passenger transportation modes and provide the tracks for trains to run on.
