Research from Japan suggests high-speed rail can help ease the cost of housing and congestion on the roads, by making it easier to live further from urban centres.

Doug Ford is rolling his eyes. Don't you guys know? Bike lanes are the reason we have so much congestion, unaffordable housing, and homelessness! /s

But in all seriousness, all the things that other countries have done with great success are all things we can implement in Canada: high-speed rails, REMOVING cars from cities, improving public transportation networks, expanding cycling infrastructures, and creating more room for public spaces, as examples.

We only need the political will to, since I'm sure most people would want to live in a better version of what they have now.

Isn't Canada too big for bike lanes? I can't bike from Toronto to Halifax! And the train would take ages to go from Montreal, QC to Victoria BC. Why are you assaulting my freedom of movement by pushing these things on us!?!?!? /s
