Like their transportation memo embraces new and innovative technology, while ignoring the innovation and efficiency that can be gained by leveraging existing technology. Canada’s train legislation is in dire need of reform.

This is what I gathered too. The standard tactic of distracting the government and the public from known good solutions, to spend money on something else instead which happens benefit them. Example - Hyperloop as a distraction from high speed rail.

Either way, I wouldn’t expect for-profit tech CEOs who aren’t experts in public services like transportation or health to propose reforms that put the public’s benefit first. I’d expect that from a city planner, a Metrolinx person, a university expert, some other public servant, or adjacent.
