Transcontinental Railways and Canadian Nationalism Introduction Historiography
©2001 Chinook Multimedia Inc. Page 1 of 22 Transcontinental Railways and Canadian Nationalism A.A. den Otter ©2001 Chinook Multimedia Inc. All rights reserved. Unauthorized duplication or distribution is strictly prohibited. Introduction The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) has always been a symbol of Canada's nation-building experience. Poets, musicians, politicians, historians, and writers have lauded the railway as one of the country's greatest achievements. Indeed, the transcontinental railway was a remarkable accomplishment: its managers, engineers, and workers overcame incredible obstacles to throw the iron track across seemingly impenetrable bogs and forests, expansive prairies, and nearly impassable mountains. The cost in money, human energy, and lives was enormous. Completed in 1885, the CPR was one of the most important instruments by which fledgling Canada realized a vision implicit in the Confederation agreement of 1867-the building of a nation from sea to sea. In the fulfilment of this dream, the CPR, and subsequently the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk systems, allowed the easy interchange of people, ideas, and goods across a vast continent; they permitted the settlement of the Western interior and the Pacific coast; and they facilitated the integration of Atlantic Canada with the nation's heartland. In sum, by expediting commercial, political, and cultural intercourse among Canada's diverse regions, the transcontinentals in general, and the CPR in particular, strengthened the nation. Historiography The first scholarly historical analysis of the Canadian Pacific Railway was Harold Innis's A History of the Canadian Pacific Railway. In his daunting account of contracts, passenger traffic, freight rates, and profits, he drew some sweeping conclusions. -

Modern day executive committees and their near equivalents can trace their roots back to a political institution – the Board of Control at the beginning of the last century and to the then lingering effects of the American Reform Movement on the politics and administration of local governments. The Reform Movement emphasized efficiency in local government by promoting non-partisanship, at large elections and especially administrative professionalism, which in turn meant a large reliance on professional expertise in the provision of services. This strengthening of the municipal bureaucracy raised the questions of political control and accountability. Council members felt inadequate in developing policy in the face of the expertise of the administrators. To counterbalance the latter, the reformers proposed the creation of a political body – the Board of Control. It was meant to be a political collective mechanism and had specific legislative and executive functions. -

FP Bonds — Corporate 2018 1 Introduction FP Bonds – Corporate 2018, the third edition to be published by Grey House Publishing Canada, lists outstanding publicly and privately held debt securities – together with their features and provisions – issued by Canadian incorporated companies, as well as brand new introductory material related to the corporate bond market. Separate tables list convertible, exchangeable, retractable and extendible debt issues. An additional table lists outstanding asset-backed securities. Corporate debt issues outstanding as at May 8, 2018 have been included. An important part of investing in the debt market is determining the quality of a debt issue. Credit ratings are forward looking measures which assess an entity’s ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. As such, a credit rating combines both quantitative and qualitative analysis. FP Bonds – Corporate 2018 includes ratings supplied by Dominion Bond Rating Service(DBRS). The DBRS ratings, dated May 8, 2018, are presented in two tables, in addition to being shown with each issue. The first table lists issues by rating, from lowest to highest. Generally, a DBRS rating of BBB is considered to be investment grade and anything below that could be considered as non-investment grade or high-yield debt. As well, unrated securities are also considered to be high-yield if its spread to a comparable Government of Canada issue is substantially higher than the spread between investment-grade corporate bonds and Government of Canada issues. A second table
