This book analyzes the contentious history surrounding the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) in the late 19th century, with a particular emphasis on speeches by politician Edward Blake. Edward Blake's arguments against the original CPR contract highlight the risks of awarding such a massive project to a private consortium, concerns over potential waste, abuse of power, and the lack of transparent accounting for public funds. Blake's insights into the nuances of the railway's construction, its impact on the development of Western Canada, and the ethical implications of government support for private enterprise have established this book as a valuable resource in understanding the social, economic, and political climate of the era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
