Calgary <-> Toronto 100% Canadian Fibre Resiliency on failover

[Jacques.Latour at cira.ca (Jacques Latour)]

JF, c¹est bon ça!

This is good point JF, according to
http://www.acwr.com/economic-development/rail-maps/canadian-national we
seem to have a single rail on top of Lac Superior. Other than that, it¹s
diverse. Is there diverse train routes and associated fibre routes? Which
provider follow CP and CN??
