Even the name Transcona is derived from that association: "Trans" for National Transcontinental Railway and "-cona" for Lord Strathcona, the man who drove the last spike into the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885.

[Marianne Cerilli]: In Transcona, there's a burger place on Regent. It's not a George's. It's right by the Co-Op. No, it's Burger Factory!
