"This promotional film for Canadian Pacific introduces The Canadian, a new train which provides comfort and courteous service for travellers riding across Canada. The trans-continental train is portrayed as being an ideal mode of transportation for both seeing the country and arriving at a desired destination. Also hightlighted are the many cities across Canada which provide Canadian Pacific hotel service, including Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary, and Vancouver. "
