I love the new ten! That looks like The Canadian on that bill, which (correct me if I’m wrong) is both the last transcontinental train in Canada and the last streamliner in North America. That means nearly as much to me as CPR’s role in building this country in it’s early years. Kudos to the BoC for getting something right!
