I'm not anti-VIA or ranting about this but I think your framing of it is off.

The Canadian doesnt lose money.
So because these locomotives wont be seen in every city in Canada you dont like the referral to “the rest of Canada”? Do I have that correct? They will literally be seen at every VIA station outside the corridor and some within.
And you do sound anti VIA nitpicking about semantics. Sorry they dont run trains in Yellowknife but yanno.
