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.
