A History of the Canadian Road (CanWest News Service)

From The CanWest News Service:

By PAUL CARBRAY,
The Montreal Gazette

As Peter Unwin puts it in his history of the Canadian highway, Hard Surface, the road is "a symbol of hope, leading all those who travel on it into a better future and a better life."

In fact, as Unwin argues, the true value of the Canadian road "is not the transportation of goods and cargo, but the quest for ourselves."
