Improving Canadian public transit systems through sustainable adoption of emerging technologies and servicesThe Government of Canada’s pledge to invest $14.9-billion in public transit over the next eight years is a unique opportunity for municipalities to improve their public transit systems, while focusing on increasing the user base, decreasing the carbon footprint, and providing equitable and inclusive access. Adopting emerging technologies and services has the potential to achieve these goals in a sustainable manner. On-demand public transit (ODT) is an emerging service that does not follow a fixed route and responds to the spatio-temporal changes in demand by adjusting the fleet size, route, pricing, and vehicle location. In recent years, fixed-price ODT has been successfully adopted to accommodate low ridership densities in several smaller Canadian municipalities, including Innisfil and Belleville in Ontario and Cochrane in Alberta. In some cases, on-demand public transit has shown great promise as a first and last mile access solution. Innisfil’s on-demand public transit is being used for access to the GO Transit regional train and bus network. ODT adopters have reported an improved level of service, increased ridership, and savings on infrastructure and operations cost. Investment from the federal government can encourage public transit agencies in large urban areas, including the Toronto Transit Commission to learn from these early adopters and consider hybrid solutions where the core of the system remains high-frequency fixed-route transit, and low ridership-density neighbourhoods that can be better served with ODT as a first and last mile access mode. For the sustainable adoption of ODT services, there is a strong need to develop open guidelines that Canadian municipalities can use in the planning, design, and operations phases. New passenger-specific key performance indicators need to be developed that consider variables like wait-times, detour-times, vehicle occupancy per kilometre travelled, and greenhouse gases emitted per passenger-kilometre.

With political will, long-range artillery systems are in Canada’s sightsCanadian production of long-range ballistic artillery and direct-fire systems is within reach if there is political will in Ottawa to do so. The capital investments required are actually relatively small for the strategic capabilities and capacity that can be brought online. Many in Canada seem ill-informed about the industrial capabilities that have been developing right here at home over the past 25-plus years. While a great deal of this industrial capability has been developed to serve the energy sector, nuclear power, and other advanced manufacturing supply chains in civilian applications, this same small and medium-sized enterprise industrial base (largely found in Ontario and Quebec) is already being used to support the United States government with the Canadian Commercial Corporation Act and the Defence Production Sharing Agreement, as well as through U.S. manufacturers. That notwithstanding, the details of this reality seem to evade the radar of many in Canada. A recent Hill Times column suggested that it is not possible in the foreseeable future to produce long-range artillery systems in Canada. This only illustrates that the article’s author does not know what industrial capabilities and capacity exist in Canada to start with, nor are they aware of what is required and how long it will take to close the capability gap from where the Canadian industrial base is today to where it needs to be to produce this type of hardware. Canada is not currently in a position to produce long-range artillery systems without aid from other allies. The fact is this has not been done in Canada since the Korean War. Investments must be made. However, if there is continued political will across allies then partnership with the United States, the United Kingdom, and other nations—including other NATO members—with prime manufacturers who agree to share technical knowledge can make this a reality in a timeframe of 24 months or less. The most immediate and obvious option is the M77
