It's depressing in Canada when I look at the rest of the modern world. People always ask me to give them an example in Europe or Asia, and I just name off the countries. I had a reporter a couple of weeks ago saying to me the technology is there now. I said the technology was there 30 years ago. So in Canada, you ask why we haven't had it before. One of the problems is we've never seen it. We don't know what it is. When I was young I never got my car till I was 30. People always asked how I could live without a car. I never knew. With high-speed trains, we don't know what a modern passenger rail service looks like. We've never had it.
How many times do I answer questions about VIA Rail? I try to tell people to think outside the box.
Sorry for rambling.
