When it comes to long distance rail, we are literally still coasting on CP's capital spending from 65 years ago.

I get that we'll never see HSR running between, say, Saskatoon and Edmonton in our lifetimes, but surely there is some hope of at least seeing a Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal triangle before we all breathe our last?!?!
