Agreed, make it easier to get around within the cities and if the populations get to a level where a high speed rail line could be of benefit than it's maybe worth pursuing. But in countries like France, Germany, and Japan where high speed rail is used, the populations of the centers are substantially higher that Calgary and Edmonton.
