Synopsis

From Toronto to Winnipeg in thirty minutes! From Winnipeg to the Pacific in forty minutes! Such is our usual pace in 1983. By hiring a special car the whole distance from Toronto to Victoria can be accomplished in fifty minutes. A higher speed still is quite possible, but is not permitted because of the risk of collision with other cars. Collisions have never yet occurred on account of the rigid adherence to very strict regulations. Cars that take short trips of 50 to 100 miles between stations, seldom travel more than 500 feet from the earth, but for long distances about 1,500 feet is usual.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Before the caring of a strong disease, â? Even in the instant of repair and health, â? The lit is strongest; evils that take leave, â? On their departure most of all show evil.â -K zng :70171, lc! IL Nthe present advanced and happy times it is instructive to take a retrospective glance at the days of our forefathers of the nineteenth century, and to meditate upon the political struggles and events of the past hundred years, that by so doing we may gain a clear insight into the causes vhich have led to the present wonderful developments. We, in the year of Grace 1983, are too apt to take for granted all the blessings of moral, political and physical science which we enjoy, and to pass over without due consideration the great efforts of our ancestors, which have made our present happy condition possible. Let us try to contrast the Dominion of to-day with the Dominion of 1883. To begin with population. Our population at the last census in 1981, was just over 93,000,000 A hundred years ago a scant 5,000,000 represented this great Canadian nation,which has since so mightily increased and proved itself such a beneficent factor in human affairs.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Dominion in 1983 details how Canada might have looked if it was still part of the British Empire in 1983. It is a similar book to The Prince, or 1985 and should be held up as a great work on Government and Political Science. Many of its ideas on how government should be organised are truly inspired. One such idea is that Government has no need to tax its people, as it conducts itself as a shrewd invester in business.
