attempting to build a HSR in the Windsor - Quebec City corridor for decades, but the political will is simply not there

Personally I put a lot of the blame on my own country, south of that border (from the good old days of international cooperation). While of course it’s up to Canada and that route would serve most of the population, it would be an even more appealing project if it connected to to an even greater whole rather than just ended. NYC has Acela as the start of intercity rail, A midwestern regional network centered on Chicago would be fantastic, but now imagine Canada HSR connecting the two at Windsor , Niagara Falls, Montreal . Imagine a HSR network serving like 150M people or more, if people on both sides of the border can get our shit together
