The Ties that Bind. The route for the western section of the transcontinental railroad ran eastward from Port Moody on the coast of British Columbia to Savona's Ferry on Kamloops Lake, in the interior of B.C.
It followed the Fraser and Thompson rivers, through canyons, into and out of mountains and across the rivers' many tributaries. The Fraser River, in particular, was the project's vital gateway to the materials and people needed for the railroad's construction. The route continued east to Craigellachie, B.C. where it joined up with the newly built central section of the railroad. The central section originated in Ontario and followed a route westward that paralleled the Canada - U.S. border.
Initially, a more northerly route across the Prairies was proposed, but this route was rejected in favour of the southerly route that took the railway through the newly discovered Roger's Pass even though this route was more difficult and dangerous to navigate.

First among equals : The prime minister in Canadian life and politics.
Introduction The status of the prime minister has been described as primus inter pares: Latin for "first among equals.
" This concept defines not only the prime minister's relationship with Cabinet, but also, in a sense, his or her relationship with the public in our modern democratic society. Drawing on a wide variety of documents and artifacts, this site explores five main themes (see the menu at left) relating to Canada's prime ministers. The site examines our leaders' political careers as well as their private lives. It also sheds light on Canadians' perceptions of our prime ministers. From Macdonald to Harper, our political leaders are twenty-two individuals who have made a difference, shaping Canada's identity, sometimes in profound ways. Biographical information and speeches Go directly to information on each of our twenty-two prime ministers, as well as selected speeches, through the "Profiles" and "Speeches" links at left.
