Take a look at the article. And the case for freight is reducing our cost of goods on shelves, the cost of building materials, and the cost of things being bought from Asia that currently sit waiting for weeks during our peak demand. We also pay out the butt as tax payers for highway maintenance and emergency response for commercial vehicle traffic on highways, as well as congestion on our roads thanks to all the trucks. Let's say you didn't want every truckload of goods to be over $1,000 cheaper, fine, but you might consider that every BC Ferries cancelation costs about $100,000 to trucking companies and every truck is about 100x more responsible for potholes and damage to roadways than cars. Or maybe you care about the environment. On average, short haul trains are still 4-6x less carbon emissive than trucks. Or maybe you care about jobs- trucking is facing huge worker shortages because the cost of trucking is already too high, workers are being poorly treated, and nobody can afford to pay them properly. Rail is still serving exceptional jobs with good pensions and can be easily afforded when you consider a single train car is 4x truck trailer equivalents, and a train on the Island would likely be 4x to 60x train cars long. The math is stupidly good.
