Canada Builds Its Own Rail Future | Calgary News

Prime Minister Mark Carney just dropped a game-changing announcement: Canada’s investing $4.7 billion to build 313 new VIA Rail passenger cars right here at home — for the first time in 40 years. Made at Alstom’s Thunder Bay plant, this bold move is a direct response to strained U.S. trade relations and a powerful statement of national self-reliance. The project will create 700 jobs across Ontario and Quebec, with Alstom pledging to use as much Canadian steel as possible. It’s not just about trains — it’s about rebuilding Canadian manufacturing, securing our future, and proving we’ve got what it takes to lead from within.
