According to Via Rail, “On board the Canadian, you’ll have the chance to appreciate the diversity of the changing landscape as you travel across the country and to marvel at spectacular views.”
The train picks up passengers at Toronto’s Union Station, with the rest of the journey as follows:

While aboard, you can enjoy the many seating and lounge areas, depending on which class you book. The classes range from Economy to Sleeper Plus to Prestige.

Prestige passengers have access to a private washroom with a shower, while Sleeper passengers have access to the common showers.
