More and more people are saying this.
NGL these are some pretty astounding stats, especially considering how car-brained most of Canada is. Even so, our transit usage (in major cities) completely eclipses the yanks (I have not independently verified these stats but the user seems knowledgeable enough that I did not bother).
Taken from a 
thread from /r/fuckcars on the topic of obesity rates between different states/provinces (the consensus was that while there are other factors at play such as diet, car-dependency seems to be the overall defining factor for obesity rates).

I think part of the problem in C*nada is that we compare our transit systems to the US. I hear people saying absolute bullshit like "Canadian city X has incredible transit" and every time I'm like what the fuck are you talking about. And every time I mention Europe or Asia they just shrug off like obviously our transit is not on the same planet as these places but for some reason they seem completely unphased like of course you're supposed to grade Canada on a curve for some unknown reason
"At least we're not as bad as America" is the closest thing Canada has to a national identity.
The only way our country gets away with the state of our health care "system" and basically everything else (police brutality, racism, and so on ... )
something something pOPuLaTiOn DEnSiTy like there aren't a shitload of rail and lightrail lines through the Alps and Himalayas where no one lives.
Like all our population centres are basically on a straightish line, mostly with no mountains.
You could drop a single high-speed rail line from Edmonton to Halifax and connect half the country's population within 12 hours of each other with no problem. I'm not sure how high speed a rail you could cook up between Vancouver and Calgary but the rest should be an obvious project.
It's actually way easier (and cheaper) than that. Half the country's population lives in a straight fucking line between Windsor and Quebec City.

Giant tunnel through the rockies.
26 competing companies with little regard to scheduling conflicts and route redundancy. Good lord just delete America and start over
Foothill transit, Monticello bus, Long Beach transit, Pasadena transit, Hollywood bowl shuttle, Cerritos on wheels, Baldwin transit, Norwalk bus, Alhambra community transit, Bellflower bus, Anaheim bus network just to name a few.
Wait until you find out that some of these agencies are contracted to private firms and the only thing keeping them from being absolutely cruel to the drivers is the ATU (some agencies may or may not be unionized or privately contracted but I'm too tired to check all six billion LA county agencies)
The rabbit hole of transportation being contracted to private firms is long winded, ridiculous, and not to the surprise of most comrades, typical of corporate shenanigans
ooh ooh I have a great showcase for this:

Somehow it's arguably worse than that quote makes it sound. Just scrub around in that video and every last one is just the worst

I’m curious how bad those burgerland numbers get if you exclude the NYC metro area.
All the people in this picture could fit into one (1) train
Edit: Two trains, going opposite directions

I will not stop complaining about the state of transit here, even if the us manages to somehow fumble its way into being even more dogshit
Is it bad that as a USian reading these stats, I'm kind of like "damn I didn't think there'd be that many public transit trips in Texas and Florida!"
I'm completely carbrained
Yeah I've been to Montreal, Vancouver, and Toronto and they all smash every American city except NYC and maybe Chicago.

Now I'm wondering how Mexico compares. But not enough to look it up myself
