Most Canadians are pragmatic enough that government spending on that sort of venture would be considered wasteful, so it would have to be privately financed, which brings me back to the first point.

All good points. I just wish we could all collectively agree and at least build 1. Just 1. Not dozens and hundreds like China is doing. Only 1. I guess it won't be in my lifetime.
