Sir John A. MacDonald aspired to build a Canadian Pacific Railway. Not only would it be an impressive feat, but it would help Canada by increasing the speed of moving troops (preparedness for American invasion), allowed for settlement in the west, and united the country, from British Columbia to Nova Scotia. MacDonald went so far as being involved in bribary (see the Pacific Scandal) to get the railroad completed.
