I'm still not over this. Feels like last week that Pierre Poilievre started campaigning against HSR and this week we have "environmentalist" critiques of HSR? Lazy psyop.
Combine HSR with green energy rollout for a cheat code to shrink the liability of our spread-out population. What are we even doing?
At least go for the environmental destruction and the damage to migratory critter routes.

I'm skeptical of environmental messaging that favours slower trains without consideration for aviation. The electric aircraft that can fly between Great Lakes and St. Lawrence destinations currently seat, like, 8 people. Anything else is fossil fuels, exclusively.
This region has /abundant/ hydroelectric generation. Trains run primarily during daytime. It's windy af. We export nuclear expertise.
I'm all for conservation, but let's not be penny wise and pound foolish.
these huge stations really are structured like airports
our hostel host drove us to the station, and suddenly we were on an upper-level car lane we didn't notice before
ah, but of course. departure terminal.
we're here an hour early in case security takes time
it took 10 s
HSR in the sticks is different from HK/SZ/GZ HSR 😅
