"Ultimately, you have to go back to the mid-1970s and the decision by Robert Muldoon to cancel the previous Labour government’s national superannuation fund to find a decision that’s as bad as this ferries decision, and as short-sighted."

Smaller, cheaper, and cost unknown
by Gordon Campbell I wouldn’t have picked Nicola Willis to be a big AC/DC fan, but “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” must have been the theme song for her decision to cancel the iRex rail ferries...

And with help from @egoldwyn.bsky.social Transit Costs Project and the Eno Center, we’ve put Canadian transit costs in the global context.
Canada is the 9th most expensive country in average per-km costs - and alongside the rest of the anglosphere - has one of the widest distributions.
