Your map makes it seem as if the Canadian National Railway extends all the way to the Gulf Coast in the United States.

Perhaps it should be spelled out a little better.

The Canadian National Railway ( a company ) owns a lot of rail in the USA as well as in Canada and Mexico. BFD.

This same CNR is publically owned and traded in the USA and Canada. BFD.

This whole flip out is just the usual suspects having a conniption fit over some imaginary conspiracy to force the USA, Mexico and Canada into some false political construct in order to usurp the sovereignty of all three and replace it with ... Something EEEEEVIL!

This same nonsense has been going on for years, but was usually restricted to shadowy religious cults and anti-semites. Joy of joys, paranoia has gone mainstream globally.

Well, it does.

Keep in mind that Canadian National Railway used to be the government-owned railroad in Canada. It was sold off to private investors some years ago, and is now a publicly-traded corporation just like any Class I railroad in the U.S.

In addition . . . like major U.S. railroads, the company's U.S. shareholders tend to outnumber their Canadian shareholder -- so there's almost no point in even calling Canadian National a "Canadian" company anymore.
