Via is a crown corporation, though, so aren't the profits also socialized? Correct me if I don't understand how crown corporations work.

Yes, and I believe the rail companies that are tying up the tracks likely are not, so it really is more making them pay for inefficiencies which impact the citizens taking passenger rail
