The high speed rail terminates near the border between US and Canada.
If it's extended from the border to Detroit or Chicago across the border, it will be the Second international high speed rail in North America.
The first one is the Pacific North West Corridor, connecting Vancouver and Portland.

Why do they restrict private cars?

Basically, developing countries restrict private car use, after chronic traffic jam does harm on economic activities.
But, Singapore takes advanced measures against traffic jam. Before causing serious traffic jam, Land Transport Authority predicts possibility of traffic jam and restricts car use.
Singapore has long installed ERP, automatic toll gate systems even on ordinary roads. The country has a good command of diverting people into public transportation.

Why isn't it grotesque to eat what you are seeing

I think that it would be suffering to see fish when eating fish. On the other hand, I've heard that there is a pasture which domesticate cows, and provides a restaurant serving beef. So, the restaurant boasts "You can enjoy seeing cows from the restaurant while eating beef."

Extended section of Downtown Line runs parallel with East-West Line. While East-West Line was constructed as a part of SMRT, Downtown Line has been constructed as a part of SBS Transit.
So, I wonder if there is a competition of getting more passengers between SMRT and SBS Transit in Downtown-Tampanies Section.

Is this lost city a glimpse into the future?
http://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/wonder-list-bill-weir-egypt/index.html

I've heard that there are people who make livings by finding jewelleries sunken in the sea and selling them.
But, in terms of archaeology, it's not better to allow them to earn money like that.
Each country has to enforce laws to ban selling unearthed materials except for crops and metals.

Debt, old age, stagnation: Japan's economy faces huge challenges
http://money.cnn.com/2017/10/20/news/economy/japan-economy-election-abenomics/index.html

At the last part of the article, boosting female recruitment is written.
But, shabby Japan's companies would cause other problems.
Some examples of them are harassment against pregnants, rejecting giving paid holidays for female workers who are to bear a child.
As a result, Japan will face more serious low fertility rate.
