No doubt that delays recently have led to cost overruns but there is also doubt that the planners and the people in charge, who were so adamant that there was enough wiggle room to withstand cost over runs, are also at fault here.
I am not sure why it's so hard and so expensive to build decent train service in Canada.

Well it's not simple, there are many varying factors. But to make it basic?
- Geology
- Planning
There was poor planning and other things were built first and the geology predicates that sometimes the train has be 'above ground' where we circle back to poor planning and other times when a train could be underground we didn' do it which is, again, when we circle back to 'poor planning.'
