I would be in favour of a project like this. It would help to even further commerce between Edmonton / Red Deer / Calgary. A flight is a hastle, as the Edmonton airport is too far out of town. Or, you are looking at a 3 hour drive each way. Makes for a long day trip. A bullet train would take you from door to door in around an hour and a half each way. Is it expensive to implement? Yes - but you have to look at it as a long term investment in our provincial economy.
