If Ottawa did deny funding and someone were to ask for a justification, the fed could simply point to the popularity of the current VIA corridor service which has over 90% of the intercity rail ridership in the country. That is a proof of concept that the Alberta corridor simply doesn't have since there isn't yet a service that exists.
