Have you ever driven Canada's TransCanada highway across Canada? Do you remember when it was built? Let us know what you think of Canada's TransCanada Highway and how it's impacted Canada's path as a nation! Thanks for watching!

from QC city to Vancouver. in the 80's & 90' and a bit into 2000's. when go visit our son in BC I tell my how it 2 lane many parts lol. love her for listening to my same story ever time.if you are driving between swift current to Moosejaw . the new part is more level than the old part. They cut down the valleys to make the hwy to save fuel.

Fast forward to today where it took 5 years to build a 7 mile addition on a local highway. I know there was less politics/existing infrastructure to deal with but the speed at which these crews built roads over some of the most difficult terrain was incredible.

@trailblazedHQ 5 месяцев назад

Canada is definitely not operating at peak efficiency. Sadly, as you've mentioned, political red tape, excessive bureaucratic procedures, never-ending environmental/other assessments, first nations consultations ... the list goes on and on. It's no wonder Canada is slowly falling behind many other countries around the world when it comes to innovation and execution.

impressive feat of engineering

@tyfrank3427 3 месяца назад

There is misinformation on this. I'm sure the official opening was 1962. Second of all it was 956 years old in 1867 and the Canadian Pacific Railway was completed in 1885. The route on the map is incorrect. There is a need to bring most of the TCH up to Interstate standards. There is still too much 2 lane on it. Although there is more than one highway with the TCH badge, we need a more extensive system.

I have driven from Halifax to Vancouver 11 times. On the first trip, I was 11 years old, and I was the navigator. My Dad taught me how to use the map, and I was in charge of getting all the turns correct. However, this video has a LOT of misinformation. Canada was NOT a brand new country in 1950. It became a nation in 1867. By the time the TC H was begun, it was nearly 100 years old. Also on one graphic in the video, it shows the highway travelling along the north shore of the St Lawrence, and across Labrador to the north end of Newfoundland. It does NOT go there. It stays on the south shore of the St Lawrence through Quebec, east of Quebec City, and then turns south through New Brunswick, crosses into Nova Scotia, and then NE to Sydney, where the ferry will take travellers across to Newfoundland. Not mentioned in the video, is the branch which angles from Hwy 1 to head north west on Hwy16, to go to Whitehorse, Yukon. There is also another branch in Nova Scotia, which goes SE to Halifax.

@tyfrank3427 3 месяца назад

The Yellowhead Highway came later. 16 does not go to Whitehorse but Prince Rupert.

It was this highway that basically ended canadian transcontinental passenger train travel

@MrWhatis 3 месяца назад

i would saying flying ended the train, why take 4 days from Toronto to Vancouver when you can fly in a day. if on holidays that would be over a week in the train on your 2 week vacation. but the transcanada hwy did play a part of the end of the train.i guess if comes down did you want to get there fast or sight see ?

@Laggenbaggers 16 дней назад

Just saying the trans Canada highway does not go on the coquahala

@beefweiner 5 месяцев назад

70 years later and most of its still 2 lanes, I'm embarrassed to be Canadian but this isn't the main reason

@trailblazedHQ 5 месяцев назад

Couldn't agree with you more. It seems that Canada from 70 years ago was committed to innovation, big dreams and growth. Canada today ... seems a bit confused. Thanks for watching!

@grf15 3 месяца назад

Why would you need four lanes everywhere? I've been on parts of the Trans-Canada where there was almost no traffic.

@tyfrank3427 3 месяца назад

@@grf15 Between Calgary and Vancouver it does need 4 lanes and what isn't already 4 lane is by far the most expensive to upgrade. The last leg of the Kicking Horse Canyon upgrade cost $200M/mile to build. In addition, the road that's already 4 lanes also needs upgrades. The accident in Manitoba last year emphasizes that point.

@canadagood 3 месяца назад

Your route maps are laughable. The actual route through Ontario and Quebec generally hugs the north shore of Lake Superior. Then from Montreal it is never north of the St Lawrence River. Until the Trans-Canada was opened, almost any road traffic between Ontario and British Columbia would involve at least one diversion into the United States. While the highway is scenic and important, I would argue that Winnipeg and Calgary are industrial hubs because of the trans-continental railways and air routes; not the trans-continental highways. For industry and commerce the north-south highways into the United States have been at least as important.

@tyfrank3427 3 месяца назад

I do agree with that. Winnipeg and Calgary were industrial hubs before the TCH. However, the highway is very important and needs upgrades. I would argue that we need a Trans-Canada system of both North / South as well as East /West routes. however, his route map to St. Johns on the East coast is actually a reasonable proposal and is considered. If Quebec Route 138 is extended all the way, it would make a fixed link possible between Labrador and Newfoundland. That has actually been proposed. The feds have to step in for that to happen, and that certainly won't happen in the near future.
