    intercity HSR and robust intracity public transit are two great flavours that go great together.

    What you’re forgetting is that provincial governments blaming the feds for problems in their own jurisdictions are also two great flavours that go great together.

      Don’t forget municipal governments getting away with all sorts of crap and infrastructure neglect by blaming both the province and the feds.

        For sure.

        Though to give them some credit, I do think there’s a fundamental disconnect between municipal responsibilities and their ability to generate revenue, but that’s not really the issue here.
