    It is, and maybe it will change some day, but there’s a reason intercity rail is concentrated almost entirely in the Toronto - Quebec City corridor - nowhere else in the country has the population density to justify it (though maybe the Calgary-Edmonton route will get to that point one day).

      Hey now, that corridor goes all the way to Windsor and you know it

      Don’t leave KW/Guelph outta it, we got GO trains sometimes!

      But yea, you’re right. I’d love to take the train everywhere but I really am stuck with 401 alternative only.

      I’m pretty confident the Vancouver-Hope corridor could support commuter rail as well. Maybe Victoria to Nanaimo.
