While I didn’t vote on this poll (Toronto by a mile or in a kilometer as Canadians might say), Miami has proposed to build the North extension, therefore expanding it’s rapid transit system (https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-da...-rock-stadium/).
Once again, Miami is no Toronto, or NYC & Chicago, but it does have an expanding commuter rail system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-Ra...s_and_upgrades) and Brightline, which is supposed to be HSR intercity transit to Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville, something Canada doesn’t have.

Brightline doesn't quite reach the 125 mph threshold for membership in the HSR club, but at 110 tops, it does fall into the category "higher-speed rail".
As for intercity rail service, period, however, Canada does have that, and Toronto sits in the middle of VIA Rail Canada's busiest route, its answer to Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, extending from Windsor to Québec City.
I didn't realize a Metrorail expansion to Hard Rock Stadium was being proposed in Miami, interesting. That said, I have this feeling that Toronto probably would be ahead of Miami when it comes to transit. Yes, including the expansion of Brightline commuter rail up to Orlando, that is underway. I forget if service to Orlando is now operating, or not?
For this thread, it might have been better to compare say like Miami and LA(or Seattle or Denver), for transit. Although LA has a lot of commuter rail, besides having an expanding light rail system.
The emojis failed to format correctly (and the software lowercased your post; it must be throwing one of its occasional hissy fits), so:
ROFLMAO
