#Canada would be an ideal country for a train network like this, especially in places like the prairies, but decades of failed leadership beholden to O&G along with a fanatical adherence to #neoliberalism has prevented us from matching #China

But it is not too late! Canada needs to pivot and redirect the billions in O&G subsidies into a publicly owned crown corporation that will design and build both the trains and the network for them to run on.

As a bonus a high speed rail network could be built in conjunction with an HVDC transmission grid to move #renewableenergy around the country.
