Canada is, by nearly all measures, a developed nation. I say nearly because trying to get anywhere in this great land without a car is a humiliation ritual — a stark reminder that when it comes to transportation infrastructure, we have unequivocally failed to live up to expectations.
The same country that managed to construct a railway from coast to coast in record time — in the nineteenth century no less — now struggles to move past the concept stage on anything but the simplest of projects. Barriers are no longer towering mountains or raging rivers, but bureaucracy and refusal to dream big.
