The Canadian Pacific Railway was built in 1881 (the exact date is not sure), by the Canadian Pacific Railway company, which was lead by Sir Hugh Allan (who turned out to be a real crook), and owned by a banker from Quebec named George Stephen and an executive member of the Hudson's Bay company called Donald Smith. William Van Horne supervised the overall construction and Sanford Fleming planned out the route. The last spike of the rails was in British Columbia, and the official photograph shows a politician or some other important figure hammering it in, but really, the workers hammered in the last spike moments later after the crowd dispersed. The CPR also brought on a dirty Canadian history, forcing Chinese men to work for less than the Canadians. Stepehen Harper made it up to the Chinese by paying each remaining person from this era that was Asian or involved a $20 000 sum.
The Canadian Pacific Railway's construction began on February 16th of 1881. Where? nobody is sure, however, it did begin in the east coast of Canada and made its way to the west coast along the way they found many hardships the metis (half native half french) which led a revolt. They also had to use dynamite (very dangerous) to blow up mountains many people died during this construction.

The greatest impact of US expansion to the West was not a new invention. What was new was a vast network of railway extensions including the 1869 completion of the Transcontinental Railway. The US railway network allowed for faster and safer travel to the West. Settlers wishing to take advantage of the Federal Government's land policies gave citizens a chance to start a new life in the West. Travel now was not limited to wagon trains which were slow and dangerous adventures.
The Canadian Shield is an area of Canada where the oldest exposed rocks of the planet are present. These provide a great mineral wealth but because of the thin (or non existent) soil start and inclement climate the opportunities for agriculture are limited. There are no hydrocarbon reserves in the area.
