Busiest highway: Highway 401 in Ontario, Canada, has volumes surpassing an average of 500,000 vehicles per day.

That paragraph is straight out of google. Saying that we don't need high speed rail because we do not have the volume is blatantly untrue.

Highway 401 doesn't even go "across Canada" its literally a small section of the most populated area of southern Ontario.

We could certainly use high speed rail for specific links in Canada, just not a cross country link.
