    I think the big problem with Canada, the US, the UK, and other former British colonies is that the legal system gives private property owners a lot of rights.

    In places like France or China the government can just say “we’re building this” without a lot of public input. But the second CA put out their high speed rail proposal it was met with hundreds of lawsuits over eminent domain.
