Rocky Mountaineer - cutback; end of a Transcanada line?

From Trains.com

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — This season will likely be the last for Rocky Mountaineer’s Rainforest to Gold Rush service via the former British Columbia Railway, the company says.

The end of the service between North Vancouver and Jasper, Alberta, with overnight stays in Whistler and Quesnel, B.C., has been a Rocky Mountaineer itinerary since 2006. But Canadian National, which leases the line from the province of British Columbia, announced last year that it plans to end service on a 214-mile segment between Squamish and 100-Mile House [see “CN seeks to end lease …,” Trains.com, July 22, 2025].

Can anyone put this into perspective?
