Ottawa just threw a bunch of money into a hole in the ground and went that was great, let’s add lots more. You may think boooring, local, and if Ottawa’s hurting har de har har you should see Fort McMurray. But take my train … please … because the problem it’s carrying is coming to you in some form wherever you live. (Rule of thumb: if you’re not big enough for a circular line, you’re not big enough for a subway.) And if the issue were just political vainglory, it would still be worth worrying about far beyond Ottawa or even Canada.
