Business, enterprise, and the national policy : the role of T. C. Power & Brother and I. G. Baker & Company in the political and economic development of the southwestern Canadian prairies and northern Montana, 1870-1893 Francis, James M.
Abstract
Two Montana companies T. C. Power & Brother and I. G. Baker & Company played a significant role in the economic development of both northern Montana and southern Alberta and Saskatchewan, between 1870 and 1893- These companies encouraged the Canadian government to assert its authority in the region. They also helped to lay the groundwork, for an east-west Canadian retail trade before the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway. This investigation of their activities provides a context for a discussion of the impact of the Conservative government's National Policy on the Canadian North-West.
