The federal government approved over $4.4 million in climate subsidy payments last year for the Canadian National Railway Company (CN), one of Canada’s largest railway companies and most profitable corporations, records show.

The Department of Natural Resources disclosed in an Inquiry of Ministry tabled in the House of Commons on June 19 that it awarded CN $4,425,000 in federal funding on Nov. 28, 2022, to install over 60 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
