Book excerpt: The Georgian Bay Ship Canal was a river and lake canalization scheme designed to create a commercial waterway along the route of the voyageurs. It was the dream of Canadian businessmen and entrepreneurs for centuries. Originally a trade route for Indigenous peoples, it became Canada's first Trans-Canada Highway during the fur trade, greatly contributing to the economic development of the colonies of France and later Britain. In the early years of Canadian nationhood it was viewed as the shortest route to get prairie grain to world markets. The canal scheme was supported by no fewer than six Canadian Prime Ministers and for a century less two years was surveyed a dozen times. It was also hotly debated in the Canadian Senate and House of Commons. The scheme was supported by lobby groups in Northern and Eastern Ontario as well as the Montreal business elite. It was strongly criticized by citizen's groups in cities along the shores of the rival Welland-St. Lawrence route. The story told is why the scheme, despite its geographical advantages, failed to see the bucket of a steam shovel. It is a story of political intrigue, Northern Ontario versus the South and the role that federal government overspending played in its demise. It was also at the center of the battle between federal and provincial governments over control of the lucrative resource of hydro-electricity. The book contains many historic maps and photos of the route as well as modern images from this famous Canadian waterway.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Georgian Bay Canal The American people have always been interested in the de velopment of the Canadian transportation system. In the meet ings of the National Ship Canal Convention at Chicago in June, 1863, the advantages of the Canadian waterway system were recognized even by those who feared the competition. The Legis lature of Illinois passed, in 1803, a joint resolution appointing commissioners to proceed to Canada to solicit the earnest con sideration and early action upon a subjeclt of great and increasing importance of enlarged and cheaper outlets to tidewater by way of the lakes and rivers and new or enlarged canals of Canada. The great avenue to the Atlantic through the St. Lawrence being once opened to its largest capacity, the laws of trade, which it has never been the policy of the Federal Government to obstruct, will carry the commerce of the Northwest through it. At the Commercial Convention in Detroit in 1805, Mr. Aspinwall of Detroit said the navigation of the St. Lawrence River and canals could be improved to give a safe and clear draught of fourteen feet to tidewater, and that this would be important to the future welfare of the great and growing Northwest. The United States Deep Waterways Commission gave a qualified approval to the Georgian Bay Canal when it said: The function of the Ottawa route is as a future loop line for through business when traffic conditions shall have been sufficiently developed by the Erie Ontario route. The importance of the direct-rail route across Canada is manifested by the growth of the in-transit trade. When, partially through a belief that economic pressure would lead to annexation, there was a proposal to rescind the bonding privilege the outburst of protest from the New England and the Northwestern States showed how important the short lines across Canada were to the welfare of the United States.
