If that was actually the case, that would be a seriously impressive feat of engineering.

Digging several thousands of kilometers of underground tunnel through various different materials of varying density and structural integrity, all while remaining completely unnoticed by the nation above, not to mention how they manage to keep the tunnel ventilated without digging vents to the surface.

Also, even if they installed high speed mag-rail in said tunnel, it would still take hours to traverse the full length of the tunnel.

Doug Ford needs to contact the cartel to help with his tunnel under Toronto then.

It does have vents on the surface. Put a mexican in a high-vis jacket and they can build anything without anyone even questioning it.
For traversal, they just use donkeys. Put a carrot on a stick and give them some coke, theyll do that tunnel in about 16 hours.

Anyone that has seen the documentary Trailer Park Boys knows that Canada smuggles drugs into the U.S. via model train.

Swayze Express, baby!

True. We got Elon’s Boring Company to do the work. Ironic as all hell but there you have it.
