Canada actually speeding up the construction of high speed rail?? Do my eyes deceive me??
“This will enable construction on Alto to begin in four years — as early as 2029 — instead of the original timeline of in eight years, towards the middle of the 2030s.”

This kind of common behaviour disillusions me with western democracies

He’s also against bus and streetcar lanes so this, again, is all posturing

Almost half the Waymos on California streets are driving around empty. They're either waiting for the next customer or en route for a pickup.
