I think a far greater explanation is the addiction to vehicles in Alberta/NA heavily outweighs addiction to vehicles in France/EU. There simply isn't a will for people here to push the government to build something like that and when the topic comes up, there is massive pushback by the population. We cannot even build a "simple" rail connection between Calgary and Edmonton.
If we are
ever going to phase ourselves off of fossil fuels for future generations, things like this must be done.
