General railway discussions

Which then begs the question, with all of our rail projects going on,why are we not sourcing our rails from Canada?
Or are we? My understanding is we are not.

Because there hasn't been a Canadian mill that has rolled rail since the 1980s.

If you are going to advocate for free trade, you have to walk the talk. Overseas sourcing of rail has been quite common for the last couple of decades.
To date, under a free trade regime, our steel mills still managed to (mostly) stay above water. With the changes brought on by tariffs, that may not be so. But if we go too far in demanding Canada-first solutions.... well, our belief in free trade is somewhat in question.
How that plays out for railway steel, I guess we wait and see.

We did walk the walk, but now the one we walked with is pushing back on us, so,it stands to reason we protect Canada as best we can.

Because there hasn't been a Canadian mill that has rolled rail since the 1980s.

That was what I thought.
