Trump DEMANDS $540B Railway Bailout — Canada's BRUTAL Counter Offer Goes VIRAL






Understand that the primary asset of all continental economic systems is a well managed rail system.  What is astounding to me is that USA inattention cut the USA rail system lose decades ago to flounder around doing their own thing.


all this allowed CNR to buy up the primary chicago to New Orleans rail line a couple of decades ago.  And just three years ago, CPR bought up the Kansas railline connecting Chicago to Mexico city.  We now have two rapidly improving rail links to the gulf and also central Mexico.  The first grain train left winnepeg for mexico city a couple of months past and away we go.  A barge on the mississippi does not cut it any more.

the entire USA rail system demands this level of competance and yes the way out is certainly Canadian led professional management.  This obviously benefits Canada as well now that we already have the chicago New orleans and Mexico connect worked out.

this also sets up high speed rail links where they are obviously necessary.

1 MIN AGO Trump DEMANDS $540B Railway Bailout — Canada's BRUTAL Counter Offer Goes VIRAL This analysis breaks down a stunning moment in North American infrastructure politics, where Donald Trump’s demand for a $540 billion Canadian railway bailout exposed the depth of America’s transportation dysfunction and triggered a viral, humiliating counter-offer from Canada. Rather than offering financial aid, Canada proposed professional management of key U.S. rail corridors, highlighting a stark contrast between American political theater and Canadian operational competence. The episode reveals how decades of institutional decay, deregulation, and short-term thinking have left the United States dependent on foreign expertise for critical infrastructure, while Canada’s long-term planning and management excellence have positioned it as a continental leader in transportation capability.
