JF, c¹est bon ça! This is good point JF, according to http://www.acwr.com/economic-development/rail-maps/canadian-national we seem to have a single rail on top of Lac Superior. Other than that, it¹s diverse. Is there diverse train routes and associated fibre routes? Which provider follow CP and CN??

Does anyone know if there's fibre resiliency between Calgary and Toronto over the Great lakes, I thinking redundancy could be achieved by using two paths one following the railroad and the other following the Trans-Canadian highway.

More than likely one around lake Superior on CP Rail tracks, and the other along the CN tracks further north.
Zayo in Canada is formerly CNCP telecommunications, and they are likely first to have fibre along tracks.
Since the Trans Canada highway in that part of Ontario is actually a 2 lane rural road, I am not sure people would have laid fibre along it knowing the progressive work to widen it might require frequent relocation of the fibre.
