West
• a store owner in Vancouver, B.C.

Answer 1

Explanation:

the US government might support the road because they might be able to use the railroads to transport materials for men at war or other materials the country might need.

A lumber producer in New Brunswick might support it because the railroad will require wood for the tracks. The lumber producer can profit from this because the railroad would need a large supply of lumber. They can also use it to transport the lumber.
