Including the service depot and the rolling stock the Raide-Jokeri somewhere around 580M euros, about C$870M at current exchange rates. That's somewhere between C$35 and C$41 per kilometre depending on how you count (the line is 25 km but only 21 km is LRT, the remaining 4 km is effectively tramway at a lower cost). This
Interestingly, this is roughly half the cost of the Tampere LRT, also built in Finland and around the same timeframe; that one cost about 470M euros for 10.2 km, or around C$75M/km.
I don't know what causes such a big difference in costs.
