  • To Injure Its Own Interests5': the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company and the Blighting of Hazelton District, 191O-1918*

The Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Ministry of Indian and Northern Affairs, the University of Toronto/York University Joint Program in Transportation, and Transcom provided funds for research and writing of the paper. 1 Texts concerning railway finance and economics of transportation have long main­ tained that the observation (and its corollary) applied in all cases.
