Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book compiles the author's speeches about transportation and technology in Canada from 1903-1909. Beginning with the strategic national importance of the proposed Transcontinental Railway, the author addresses its role in the Canadian economy and the debates around its bonding privilege. The author explores the claim that the Canadian Pacific Railway held over trade and transportation through their monopoly and argues for a publicly controlled line that could provide a national highway for all railways. He weighs the costs of transportation for goods by rail and water and makes the case for investment in rail lines to meet the needs of Canada's expanding economy. Exploring infrastructural and political contexts, the author's arguments and analyses provide a window into turn-of-the-century Canadian transportation policy and the debates surrounding it.
