Crow's Nest Pass Railway subsidies debated in Manitoba
A Manitoba focus on the Crow's Nest Pass Railway charter details a subsidy up to 11,000 dollars per mile and a total of 3,630,000 dollars to support construction from Lethbridge through Crow's Nest Pass. The plan imposes government approval of local and interconnected rail rates and promises rate reductions across many commodity classes including fruits, coal oil, livestock, and building materials. The justification cites benefits to Manitoba farmers, estimating significant savings per year, with concerns about Dominion-wide cost sharing and coal lands transfers to the Crown for public coal supply and price control.
