Outside of s few privilefed communities on the Prairies. such as Moville, Seek, where t.rmatyndt8ttt.rt_tmr11eidvia%trukiiving there, there is little use for psssenger trains on the Prairies. For one, Via is incovenient to use because the passenger mar have to drive hundreds of miles one way to get to the closest station. It's likely the train will be entering the station at a ridiculous hour, like 2:86 am. and it's likely to be late. I've taken the train and I love it.

Let Via die a proud death, and bring on a downsized, eotefrteient service where it's It’s ridiculous for people to talk about the need for rail service, simply for the sake of tmttitttental memories and a vision of unifying a vent country. Believe me, Via is more divisive than unifying. On the Prairies, where farmers are being told to pay the full fare to ship their grain to port, it’s fair that passengers should pay the full price to travel. Nothing could be slower, more inconvenient, costly and useless on the Prairies than Via.
