Some people would know the answer to that question & surely they would be right but why is it that our young generation has no idea of the role that the Navy is playing in protecting us & in shaping the future of this nation?

  • How Did The St Lawrence Seaway Affect Canada's Economy

    1626 Words  | 7 Pages

    Lawrence Seaway is a vital part of Canada’s economy and has led to the country increasing its efficiency in transportation, maximizing profit, and becoming a very active exporter and importer of goods. Officially opened on June 26, 1959 (Hamelin, 2014), the seaway was and is still a very efficient method of transportation for bulk goods not only around Ontario, Quebec, and the US, but it also connects directly to the Atlantic Ocean where international cargo and freight ships can travel. Goods can travel much faster than in the past, and there is no longer any need for the tedious use of multiple forms of transportation like prior to 1959. The St. Lawrence Seaway makes Canada famous for being one of the most heavily used trade routes worldwide (Shaw, 2009). Although the almost staggering cost of construction and maintenance for Canada was three hundred and thirty million dollars, after the installation of six hundred million dollars worth of hydroelectric implementations financed by both Canada and the US, the gross profit earned from the seaway allowed the nation to repay all related debts (Hamelin, 2014).
