Tbf canadas spending power is nowhere near America. They have 10% of the population and a little under 10% of the gdp of the us. Canada is doing as well as they can but don’t expect miracles.

Canada is wealthier than most European and Asian countries with far better public transportation. The excuses are endless, but this is honestly just a problem of lack of will and imagination.

That’s true, I was just offering reasons on why a few American cities have better transport than Canadian, even with equal willpower, the Americans have more money to throw at the problem
