If America was good, it wouldn't need to happen
Actually, no. America would only be good if they ceased all imperial activity and aboloshed the capitalist mode of production (two things that are intertwined). This is just a side effect of absolutely psychotic, unchecked neoliberal capitalism as a transitional phase of American fascism.
Double no: THIS ISN'T EVEN THE USA THIS IS FUCKING CANADA IN 1998 (I should have known by the very clearly French stop sign and the giant CN on the train)
Unfortunately CN was privatized by the Liberals in 1995 or so. And just like Petro-Canada they were allowed to keep the name.

The ice storm of '98 was wild. I lived in an area hit pretty hard and we had like a full week straight of snow days. I also remember putting on skates and just going anywhere, learned that skating downhill is terrifying.
Anything with wheels is like Mach 12 in 20 feet or less, I imagine ice is like turbo charged insanity
They actually didn’t even lay tracks, they just absolutely destroyed that road, lol.
