@Canadian_Eh The term "collecting pogey" was used by my friends in the 60's and 70's in northern British Columbia. Strangely my spouse who lived in the Cariboo has never heard the word!

Canada's private monopoly owned train system is an absolute policy failure.@chu When I was younger living in the Skeena Valley 1950's through 70's we took the train all the time. They ran every second day. East one day West the next. It was convenient and inexpensive. We even took the train to Montreal and back for Expo 67. This was in the days when the train had to compete with Greyhound. It is incomprehensible to me that these services that were reasonably priced in previous decades are so expensive now. It is not as if they have been replaced by anything better.
