Canada needs a Chinese electric bullet train from the Cold lake Alberta Tar Sands to the cities in the south. Current highways are inadequate. Very high maintenance and damned hard work to drive in Canada's winter conditions. Canada now counts Asia and primarily China as its largest trading partner, and watches Chinese electric train technology very closely.
4104 Billion will provide for technological advances for the good of all mankind. Thank You for doing this.
