The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, April 22, edition that for the first time in over a decade, Canada is addressing key policy issues like interprovincial trade, while defining what makes us Canadian and different from the U.S. The Globe's guest columnists Reece Martin and Willem Klumpenhouwer write that this is a chance for Canada to significantly invest in public transit. Public transit is this country's true comparative advantage, as the economists like to say. Canada stands head-and-shoulders above the United States. While it sometimes feels as though complaining about transit and related long-suffering infrastructure projects is a national sport, we really are better at urban transportation than the U.S. U.S. public transit consultant Jarrett Walker often encourages U.S. agencies to "start by envying Canada." Subway, LRT and streetcar lines cannot be built overnight, so in the interim we must invest in massive increases in local bus service across the country. Canada has domestic production advantages for buses, as most are made in large factories in Quebec and Manitoba. Winnipeg's NFI Group's New Flyer Industries is the leading manufacturer of transit buses in Canada and the U.S.
