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.
Sir John A. Macdonald, as Canada's first Prime Minister, promised to promote national unity and build a transcontinental railway, specifically the Canadian Pacific Railway, to connect the east and west of Canada. He aimed to strengthen the economy, expand the nation, and enhance the country’s infrastructure. Additionally, he sought to establish a strong federal government and ensure the growth of Canadian territories and provinces. Macdonald's vision included fostering immigration to develop the West and solidifying Canada's status as a nation.
The railway was part of John A Macdonald's national policy. he wanted to build the railway so he can unite the east and west of Canada, so the East can by western goods and the western could sell their products. also to keep cheap American goods out of Canada.
Alexander Mackenzie kinda hated the railway, and John. A. Macdonald kinda liked it.
