[Metro-One]

I would love to see this happen, along with the Edmonton to Calgary corridor. That is the only problem with Vancouver, there are no other canadian cities to connect to with high speed rail. The coast of going through the mountains would be astronomical, connecting to Vancouver Island would be astronomical. The Okanagan Valley is about the only possibility i can see in the distant (and i mean distant) future. Right now the Thompson/Okanagan valley's population is around 700 000. Vancouver Island is around 800 000. The only way we could go is south to Seattle and Portland, but i personally want to have as few ties to the US as possible in the future, especially with their increasingly nazi border.
