⁴ A large subsidy was necessary to build the CPR in the 1880's, but would not have been required at a later time; the second and third transcontinentals were examples of over-building. On the former point, I have benefited from a term paper writen by John Cuddy.

H., Hydroelectricity and Industrial Development: Quebec 1898–1940 (Cambridge, Mass., 1957).CrossRefGoogle Scholar
