Keyword in that article, is 'Hype'.

It's a CEO pitching it for investors. It's simply not ready for prime time at this stage.

Research into improving tech and innovation is one thing. But going for an untested, still mostly theoretical tech at this point, over options that are already here? Especially with a big project like public transit? During an election year in Toronto and Ottawa? Not. Habbening.

The last guy who proposed bold big steps for transit projects, to the point of tearing up a plan that was already approved, met budget and ready to go, for a more delayed, much more expensive, and poorly consulted and questionable contracts, all so he could shout SUBWAY SUBWAY SUBWAY!

Is really only a blowhard who was the last thing from a visionary. And he smokes crack. Which possibly explains a lot of things.

(edited, image link not habbening. Here's a youtube vid link instead.)

That CEO can pitch the hyperloop to investors all he want. Any politician that would say Hyperloop with a serious face at this time however, probably deserves to be asked, 'sir or madam, are you on crack?'
