As of the 2021 census, nearly 6 million people (16% of the total Canadian population) lived in rural areas of Canada.

84% of Canadians live in cities, and that's where good urban infrastructure is the most needed.
Making car-centric infrastructure mostly electric will help a bit, but not a whole lot.

And spending that money to get us cheaper transit in the long term will probably also free up more resources to help the remaining 16%.
