"War and oil were the excuse."
"The greatest construction project since the pyramids".
Canada's first and largest northern mega project and its unexpected legacy. Here, we take a road trip with the men who led the way in 1943, and explore the project's repercussions on the North, the Land, and Canada as a whole. Humorous, candid, and revealing. A must-see for all Canadians, young and old.
