Answer:

The Canadian Pacific Railway was created to connect upper and lower Canada provinces. The main reason for this is because in the Charlottetown conference, BC would only join if they could had a way to connect to the other provinces. Also, there was a scandal involved. John A. needed 10,000$ for his campaign, the creator of the railway promised him the money under one condition. If John A. got elected, he was to grant the railway proposal.

Hopefully this answers your question!
