It seems like we could go with partial nationalisation in strategic areas to rectify the performance shortfall (and make libertarians yelp). That or build new track, of course, but I have to assume the ROW issues are killer.

For what it's worth, CN was a crown corporation until 1995 and it's not like things were really appreciably better for passenger rail in those days.
