While that's true, it does seem to be a strange thing to glamorize now, since as much as it was an engineering accomplishment, it was also arguably a genocidal pursuit, and it's doubtful the sort of projects the government has in mind now will be as "nation building" as expropriating the entirety of Western Canada and letting a single private entity have as much power as CPR does.
Amazing accomplishment, but now CP is CPKC and is just another giant megacorp that answers to the US FRA or Mexican rail authorities as much as it does the Canadian government.
Carney is a bankster and he's not going to be throwing stuff out there to help the common man first.
