Hopefully Sohi is all over these bucks from his Buddy in Ottawa. Start building the CN bridge!
The largest public transit investment in Canadian history
Since 2015, we have committed $30 billion into thousands of public transit projects across the country – from new subway lines in Canada’s biggest cities, like the Millennium Broadway Subway Extension project in Vancouver and the Finch West light rail line project in Toronto, to new transit...
