NewFoundland:

  1. Greenland Connect: from Newfoundland to Greenland. Tusass A/S (Danish-owned) 2009.
  2. St. Pierre and Miquelon Cable: from Newfoundland to St. Pierre and Miquelon France. French Authority of St. Pierre and Miquelon (French-owned) 2018.

Nova Scotia:

  1. EXA Express: from Nova Scotia to UK. EXA Infrastructure (British-owned) 2015.

BC:

  1. Topaz: from BC to Japan. Google (American-owned) 2023.

I propose that the next projects should go straight to the Philippines, Taiwan, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, France, Norway and Spain. We should not involve anymore american companies in our crucial infrastructure projects.

We have those. Coast to coast. Runs parallel to the CNR mainline.

(There is also another set of fibers that run parallel to the CPR mainline, but it dips into the US for a bit to get from Manitoba to Ontario south of the Great lakes)
