Eldon Rathbone's swing-time, jazzy, score sets this up nicely as we hear of the arrival of the first, 16th century, explorers in Canada and of their tenacious and ingenious attempts to travel around this vast wilderness. The canoe serves them well initially, helping the settlers to trade with the locals - tobacco seemingly the best currency. Soon enough though, the needs of the market necessitated larger vessels, wind power supplanted elbow grease and canals started to be built. On land, the ox-cart did the job - if not exactly quickly and they weren't ideal when it snowed so a stagecoach network was devised to bounce their passengers around the countryside in suspension-free coaches along dirt tracks. Engines arrive from Europe and soon the paddle steamers are bringing the industrial revolution - and the railroads - to link the ever more populous towns that were spreading all over the far flung provinces. Except, that is, for the Rockies that belligerently stood in the face of progress! Engineering legerdemain ensues and soon, coast-to-coast travel is possible on land. It's a chronology, so there's only one place left to go and that's the sky - and we conclude with an huge expanse of territory in which virtually nowhere is off limits! It's a fun and lively animation this, with quite an engagingly entertaining narration, that reminded me a little of "Wacky Races" meets the "Pink Panther" as the now Canadian nation uses advancing, ever speedier, communications to keep it's "rendezvous with destiny"!
