High-speed rail coming to Canada!..in 4 years...maybe

And with the way the world is going these days we want to ensure we can become a powerful nation, not remain a joke on the world stage.

The indisputable need for infrastructure investment aside, few people outside Canada view our country as a joke. In fact, the comments by European and Asia-Pacific leaders and media were highly complimentary of the Canada approach and particularly Mark Carney after his speech at Davos.

Heh, yeah Canada is definitely not a joke... but that speech was pretty shocking from a western liberal.
