To steal and morph a phrase, are we Can-adians or Can't-adians? Infrastructure is expensive, yes, but long-term it pays off. They managed to build a transcontinental railroad 140 years ago, expecting twinned highways from Vancouver to Sydney in modern times isn't unreasonable.
These kind of projects are what stitch nations together. I'd rather this, or getting clean water to reserves, or building shipping terminals on Hudson's Bay, or other infrastructure improvements than just about anything other than base social services.
