Actually why isn't there a high speed rail between Alberta's large cities and Toronto, passing through every large city on the way? Isn't it mostly flatland? Why do we make people fly?
Honestly we should have a transcanadian high speed rail, but starting with the flat part could work

HSR can sometimes reach upwards of 300 km/h. It's not jet plane speeds, but there's a bar on board.

Going through the mountains was AMAZING! So different than driving! You get to actually see raw, untouched land!
Wasn't rail literally used as a nation building project back then?
