Canada Transport History

Canadian history has been profoundly shaped by numerous events. The fifteenth Prime Minister, Pierre Elliot Trudeau remains one of the greatest citizens to define the nation’s identity. During his fifteen years in the position, he makes multiple decisions and contributions of great importance towards the growth and prosperity of Canadian society. As a result of his ambitions and efforts, widespread popularity known as “Trudeaumania” begins as a phenomenon that had existed like no other before his time (Gwyn 14). “He touched the dreams of an entire generation of Canadians” and his fame will continue for future Canadian generations, as his accomplishments positively affected the country, leaving an enduring legacy that propels a still-flourishing Canadian ideal of peace and perseverance (Gzowski Peter and more 50). Further to his overall popularity amongst Canadian citizens, Pierre Trudeau is a defining figure in Canada’s rich history, as he unites Quebec with the rest of Canada, he is responsible for the passing of both the Constitution Act in 1982 and the Multicultural Act in 1971.

Architectonics the Canadian Pacific Railway was most important purpose was to unite Canada as nation, so Canada can become more independent country.The Canadian Pacific Railway was Canada’s first transcontinental railway and was built between Eastern Canada and British Columbia.The Canadian Pacific Railway was founded on february 16th, 1881 and finished construction on November 7th, 1885. The Canadian Pacific Railway was built by John.A.Macdonald Canada’s first prime minister. He was born on January 10th, 1815. Subsequently building the Canadian Pacific Railway, John.A.Macdonald passed away on June 6th, 1891 in Ottawa Ontario. Today the Canadian Pacific Railway helps import and export food and building materials from Canada West to East and vise versa. Building the Canadian Pacific Railway was Canada’s considerable project. The Canadian Pacific Railway will always remain a big part of Canada because the Canadian Pacific Railway helped Canada’s population to grow and to become more independent country.

Canada’s urbanization was inherently and closely related with that of Europe and North America. Local factors and communities’ elite played a significant role in the development of Canada’s cities (especially in western part). Vancouver is a representative of urbanization and immigration from 1860 to 1920. Norbert Magdonald noted that “prior to the arrival of the first train in 1887, the townsite

1836:Canada's first public railway between Saint Jean sur Richelieu and La Prairie, Québec was opened by the Champlain & St. Lawrence Railroad.

Right now Canada is going through a period of rapid change as technological advances were felt in industry and in the home. We have moved on from using legs to horses to trains and now cars. Cars and trucks are passed from being curiosities to necessities. Today, the provincial departments of highways were given authority to take over major trunk roads and to plan and supervise road planning and construction at all levels within the province. In transportation, several significant works are being completed including: the Toronto Subway, 1954, the Trans-Canada Gas Pipeline, 1958, the St. Lawrence Seaway,1959, Trans-Canada Highway, completed in 1962, the Montreal Subway, 1966, GO Transit, Toronto area, 1967 and Highway 401, Ontario, completed

Automobiles is the method of transportation that benefits Canadians the most, they are convenient for families on a daily basis, help people to earn money, and manufacturing automobiles had an increase in the economy. Automobiles made things easier for everyone, for example, for travelling; people had other options rather than trains. People earned money with the automobiles, owners or farmers could travel far and sell their products, thus earning them a living. Many wanted automobiles, due to the numerous benefits, which resulted in a high demand for the product. Furthermore, automobile manufacturing was one of the reasons of the successful economy in 1920. Automobiles left a mark on Canada and its people, they were helpful for families on

It’s the public infrastructure that includes aspects like- roads, water, mains, sewers, bridges - that allows people to live out their daily lives and improves Canada’s efficiency. The possibility of having a successful business in Canadian depends on innovative and efficient infrastructure. Ottawa would be a main example of lack of instruction in a 1st world city consists of one train system; the O-Train (that’s just being made) and bus routes that are satisfactory. Ottawa has begun its renovations for the new transitways but it will possibly take years to complete the final product. The O-train scheduled to finish in 2018, however the city needs a strategy that connects the main locations using the transitway otherwise the likely hood of it being done on time will be low.

Canada is the second largest country in the world, and getting around such country takes a lot of time and resources. However with the invention of planes, trains and cars this has made it possible to travel with in Canada a lot easier and more efficient. The play “The Wooing of Miss Canada,” written by Edith Lelean Groves skillfully illustrates the transition of Canada as a nation. Groves briefly demonstrates the technological developments that Canada went through to become a more accessible nation. This paper will illustrate the changes Canada went through to become a more globalized and efficient nation with the help of technological advancements.

The development of Trans Canada Airlines (T.C.A.)’s effect on Canadian immigration is often historically seen as one of the most important advancements in the construction of Canadian identity. TCA created thousands of new jobs for immigrants. The Airline also united the country, providing immigrants and tourists a rapid and reliable mode of transportation across the country, and with the transborder service and thousands of transborder flights to follow, it connected countries all around the world to Canada. Firstly, in only initial few years of the TCA, not only did it create thousands of new jobs, but it also managed to save Canadian immigration during the great depression. The depression had Canada almost completely halt immigration, due

Great post, I agree with you that both transportation and housing are related and intertwined. They are both depended on each other for example, house prices that are close to public transportation are very high thus, showing that transportation is important due to the high demand of houses that are close to public transportation. I find that public transportation is a key factor in order to allow access to goods such as food or entertainment that allows people to have a high standard of life and opportunity such as a job that can be accessible even if it is far away from home.

The Department of Transport was created in 1935 by the government of William Lyon Mackenzie King in recognition of the changing transportation environment in Canada at the time. It merged three departments: the former Department of Railways and Canals, the Department of Marine and Fisheries, and the Civil Aviation Branch of the Department of National Defence (c. 1927 when it replaced the Air Board) under C. D. Howe, who would use the portfolio to rationalize the governance and provision of all forms of transportation (air, water and land). He created a National Harbours Board and Trans-Canada Air Lines. The Department of Transport Act came into force November 2, 1936.

The damage, caused by the transportation of oil is strongly associated with pollution of the World Ocean. With the increasing oil production in the 20th century, its transportation all over the world proceeded mostly by the sea. Despite the fact that the transportation of oil is a rather safe movement, the extent of traffic and size of tankers is the reason of many accidents, which always have a huge implication. In the years 1970-1985 there were 186 cases of oil spills, each of more than 1,300 tons. In 1989, the tanker "Exxon Valdez" ran aground off the coast of Alaska, releasing 39,000 tones of crude oil what formed an oil slick covering an area of 3000 square kilometers. That caused the irreparable harm to the environment (Oil and Chemical Spills/Significant Incidents, NOAA's Ocean Service).

Toronto is one of the fastest growing cities in Canada; transportation is heart-beat to it. City of Toronto has a better transportation system such as; RT Train, TTC Subway lines, and buses, Go transit and buses, all need to improve. In order to do that all three government should work together, it is their responsibility, they should contribute fund as much as they can and they should provide reliable and affordable transportation.

Responsibility for the environmental quality in water systems should be viewed by all humans whose negative actions affect the environment. An environmental issue that is overlooked in our oceans is cargo ships, in which leaks oil into our waterways. Along Canada’s east coast, 1000’s of boats, including ferries, cargo ships, tugboats, and fishing boats pass through the waters. Not only do they consume gas in order to power the boats, they also transport billions of litres of crude oil in and out of Placentia Bay, Newfoundland. Along Canada’s East and West coasts, oil and gas plans are going to be set in place, to provide an alternative

The main objective behind this study of is to understand how the Infrastructure industry functions and how infrastructure is essential for the growth of any nation.
