Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes Canadian provincesâ use of waterways and railways to expand their national economy from the 1800s to 1917. It covers the building of the St. Lawrence Canals, the Grand Trunk and Intercolonial Railways, and the competing Erie Canal in the United States. The author discusses how these projects reflected a national desire for economic independence and contributed to Canadian national identity while demonstrating the changing political and economic power dynamics between the United States and Canadian provinces. The book also examines the failed efforts to use waterways as a way to control shipping and trade. By positioning the struggle within a broader political and economic context, the author reveals the complex factors that influenced Canadian transportation policy and national development.
