Yeah, so than why not spend the money to improve the airport? The thing with Fort MacMurray is that the people aren't just going back to Edmonton or Calgary, they're often looking to go further than that, so air travel is still the best option to go that far with the number of people looking to get there. A high speed rail line that long needs to be connecting centers to service a population of 10 million. I can't see that many people living in that area in the next 100 years...by which time there should be a better option for mass transit.
