Province/Territory:
@9ZZNB4NConservative3wks3W
Yes but it should be more of a municipal government thing. The federal government should still provide some funds though.
@9SLJBJV4mos4MO
Yes…with equal support to all provinces and urban centres. Tired of inferior transportation in BC but seeing preference in funding to Ontario and Quebec funding
@9GYSNHD1yr1Y
Yes, but make sure that their is a plan on part of municipal governments, as well as the ridership and tax base to continue funding this project.
@9D8PLJBConservative1yr1Y
Yes, but the job should be done by private companies
@98F2D7F2yrs2Y
Assist projects that are in the national interest
@9P8NRFMNew Democratic 6mos6MO
Yes, not every provincial government may place as high of a priority on the importance of maintaining and developing the transportation industry.
@9K6M45410mos10MO
We have alot of transport we can get by and we defenitely dont need to spend more on railway tickets when we already have that thinking years ago in question that was finished, So no.
@9GNXXXT1yr1Y
Yes, but make sure that there is a plan on part of municipal governments, as well as the ridership and tax base to continue funding this project.
@9F5KMPV1yr1Y
The government should invest in commuter urban rail transposition. Trains are a great alternative to using cars. There should be more options to get around in cities such as monorail, train, subway and what not. Cities shouldn't be built around cars it's dystopian.
@9H4KC4K1yr1Y
Transit absolutely needs more funding, but it makes more sense to be on a municipal or provincial level
@96JJRBT2yrs2Y
Yes, and it should extend to all of Canada, rural or urban.
@955C6272yrs2Y
Yes, and we should build a high speed rail network that runs nation wide.
@953THJ82yrs2Y
Should be left to the local government
@94JYBSRConservative2yrs2Y
Yes and electrify existing infrastructure
@944JYRH2yrs2Y
That's a municipal or provincial concern, not federal.
@8XMLGT43yrs3Y
Yes, but only in place where population will support the use of such infrastructure
No, this should be handled at either the provincial or municipal levels of government
@8XH88Q43yrs3Y
Yes as long as it's eco friendly
@8WZ4NMB3yrs3Y
I don't think that should be high priority right now
@8CRV6LZ4yrs4Y
When do we get those tubes from Futurama
@99SZPFK2yrs2Y
Yes, but it has to be environmentally friendly and be used to housed the homeless
@99SFZCX2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if it is environmentally friendly
@97ZS8LG2yrs2Y
Yes, but only after we drastically reduce the deficit
@97T4JZCConservative2yrs2Y
Regardless, this is an issue for provincial or local governments and/or the private sector
Yes, and we should build walkable cities.
@97P4X7S2yrs2Y
Not a federal issue. City / Prov should
@97BPT2N2yrs2Y
Yes, and all transportation services should be state-owned
@8WNHTXHNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as it it made to be as environmentally-friendly as possible; with upgrades occuring regularly/as needed.
@8VNF66T3yrs3Y
If transportation is a federal government issue, then it should be applicable to both urban and rural settings.
@kuyugomodiLiberal4yrs4Y
Maybe in the future but I don't see a need for it at the moment
@8FWNDZW4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as the land of the indigenous allows the government to do so and is fair for both
@8DHDNNW4yrs4Y
Improve urban commuter transportation systems and start working towards high speed hyperloop rail systems between cities.
@9CSH8HQ1yr1Y
Only local and/or provincial governments when it comes to inter provincial travel. Federal can be involved when inter-provincial.
@9CF74WN2yrs2Y
Allow Provinces to look at how the spending should be handled and offer them supports if required.
@9C8YBHH2yrs2Y
No, this should be a provincial thing
@9C7KG9Q2yrs2Y
Yes, but it shouldn't be to so much detriment to the citizens (traffic, blocking businesses)
Vital services should be nationalized
@9434QJX2yrs2Y
Provinces/territories and the fed should contribute
@938SY4Y3yrs3Y
Depends. Not at the cost of the environment.
@938QWQZ3yrs3Y
Yes, but only in municipalities that meet population growth and densification targets
@937NK833yrs3Y
We should work toward making private vehicles more affordable, lower the price of gasoline and expand roadways to be more commuter friendly.
@8ZX3GXZConservative3yrs3Y
No, that’s municipal jurisdiction
@8ZNJS3S3yrs3Y
Yes, although degrowth or build-down would be best
@8YWNWC33yrs3Y
Add funds as the province and city decides what projects to pursue.
@8XZC2RV3yrs3Y
This type of infrastructure is best kept in cities
@8XXXYKS3yrs3Y
This should be left to the municipalities
No, private sector or municipal and provincial governments are to handle that
@8VN68SH3yrs3Y
I think the government should invest in public transport, but what kind of transport should be up to each city, whether they want commuter rails or not.
@8VMW7J23yrs3Y
no they clearly suck at it
@8VJNWNB3yrs3Y
Yes, but transportation services should be a revenue source
@8T2D59H4yrs4Y
as long as it can be done safely.
@8SCRSMG4yrs4Y
Yes but it should not be prioritized
@8SCKB7W4yrs4Y
Should be provincial jurisdiction
@9D3D4721yr1Y
Cities should handle this issue
Yes, but do it in partnership with cities and provinces.
@9B7SW332yrs2Y
Yes but, only if other social support programs are not axed to accomplish it.
@9BYJBB22yrs2Y
Transportation should be controlled by provinces working with municipalities to determine best option for them
