Massively improving local and regional transit should take priority over HSR by a huge margin. I'm an airline employee, so I've travelled a lot and have used many HSR networks. They are great, but the local buildout needs to happen first and in a big way. HSR in Alberta would be cool and all, getting to Edmonton in under 90 minutes. But it would be pointless if you have to drive or it takes you two bus transfers and over 90 minutes just to get to the HSR station in the first place.
