Three Canadian organizations operate programs in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada ( DFAIT ), the Canadian International Development Agency ( CIDA ) and the Department of National Defence ( DND ).

In the past, telecommunications included telegraphy available through Canadian Pacific and Canadian National.

Following the 1852 Telegraph Act, Canada's first permanent transatlantic telegraph link was a submarine cable built in 1866 between Ireland and Newfoundland. Telegrams were sent through networks built by Canadian Pacific and Canadian National.

An agreement with Western Union required that U. S. company to route messages in a specified ratio of 3: 1, with three telegraphic messages transmitted to Canadian National for every message transmitted to Canadian Pacific.

Canadian National Parks in the watershed include Kootenay National Park, Yoho National Park, Glacier National Park, and Mount Revelstoke National Park.

Railway connections between the port of Sydney to Canadian National Railway in Truro are maintained by the Cape Breton and Central Nova Scotia Railway.

As the anniversary of Confederation, Dominion Day, and later Canada Day, was the date set for a number of important events, such as the first national radio network hookup by the Canadian National Railway ( 1927 ), the inauguration of the CBC's cross-country television broadcast ( 1958 ), the flooding of the Saint Lawrence Seaway ( 1958 ), the first colour television transmission in Canada ( 1966 ), the inauguration of the Order of Canada ( 1967 ), and the establishment of " O Canada " as the country's national anthem ( 1980 ).

It has created crown corporations to promote Canadian culture through media, such as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ( CBC ) and the National Film Board of Canada ( NFB ), and promotes many events which it considers to promote Canadian traditions.

In Canadian football ( and, until 1998, the National Football League ), the drop kick can be taken from any point on the field, unlike placekicks, which must be attempted behind the line of scrimmage.

The four remaining players in the backfield ( five in Canadian football ), including the quarterback, are also eligible receivers — except in the National Football League, where a quarterback who takes the snap from " under center " is never eligible.

The Minister of National Defence Art Eggleton advised Governor General Adrienne Clarkson to authorize more than 100 Canadian Forces members serving on military exchange programs in the United States and other countries to participate in U. S. operations in Afghanistan.

* 1889 – The transcontinental Canadian Pacific Railway is completed.

Macdonald was designated as the first Prime Minister of the new nation, and served in that capacity for most of the remainder of his life, losing office for five years in the 1870s over the Pacific Scandal ( corruption in the financing of the Canadian Pacific Railway ).

The construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway ( now Canadian National Railway ) through this district made it of some importance at the start of the 20th century.

In 1871, the Intercolonial Railway of Canada chose Moncton to be its headquarters, and Moncton remained a railroad town for well over a century until the closure of the Canadian National Railway ( CNR ) locomotive shops in the late 1980s.

In 1918, the ICR and NTR were merged by the federal government into the newly formed Canadian National Railways ( CNR ) system.

In 1915, the ICR became part of Canadian Government Railways and 3 years later in 1918 it became part of the Canadian National Railway ( CNR ).

The land was a major Canadian National Railway rail switching yard encompassing the CNR Spadina Roundhouse ( the desolate downtown lands were part of a master plan for revitalizing the area which includes CityPlace ).

Weyburn had since become an important railroad town in Saskatchewan – the Pasqua branch or the Souris, Arcola, Weyburn, Regina CPR branch ; Portal Section on the CPR / Soo Line ; Moose Jaw, Weyburn, Shaunavon, Lethbridge CPR section ; the Brandon, Marfield, Carlyle, Lampman, Radville, Willow Bunch section of the Canadian National Railway ( CNR ); and the Regina, Weyburn, Radville, Estevan, Northgate CNR section have all run through Weyburn.

This service was operated by the ICR until 1918 when the ICR was merged into Canadian National Railways ( CNR ).

The railway was referred to as the Canadian National Railways ( CNR ) between 1918 and 1960 and as Canadian National / Canadien National ( CN ) from 1960 to present.

The Canadian National Railways ( CNR ) was incorporated on June 6, 1919, comprising several railways that had become bankrupt and fallen into federal government hands, along with some railways already owned by the government.

On December 20, 1918, the federal government created the Canadian National Railways ( CNR ) – a title only with no corporate powers – through a Queen's Privy Council for Canada Order in Council as a means to simplify the funding and operation of the various railway companies.

Bennett ( who had been a corporate lawyer with Canadian Pacific as a client prior to entering politics ) to pressure CNR into ending its on-train radio service in 1931 and then withdrawing from the radio business entirely in 1933.

Canadian National Hotels was the CNRs chain of hotels and was a combination of hotels inherited by the CNR when it acquired various railways and structures built by the CNR itself.

Regardless of the political and economic importance of railway transportation in Canada, there were many critics of the Canadian government's policies in maintaining CNR as a Crown corporation from its inception in 1918 until its privatization in 1995.

As such, CNR lost money for many years, except during the Second World War when its extensive network reaching into the resource hinterland proved beneficial, and during the late 1980s and early 1990s following deregulation of the Canadian railway industry.

Where CNR failed to address costs was largely due to government interference, such as the requirement to purchase locomotives from all Canadian locomotive manufacturers, resulting in operational inefficiencies.

The CRBC acquired radio stations from the Canadian National Railway radio network in Ottawa, Vancouver and Moncton for $ 50, 000 as well as CNR Radio studios in various other cities and leased or established additional stations in Montreal, Chicoutimi, Quebec City, Toronto and Windsor.

After World War II, two developments eventually proved disastrous to previously profitable passenger rail transport offered by Canadian National Railways ( CNR ), the Canadian Pacific Railway ( CPR ), and smaller lines.

Although it has always owned its locomotives and coaches, GO's trackage was originally owned entirely by Canada's two major commercial railways: the large majority by the Canadian National Railway ( CNR ) and the remainder by Canadian Pacific Railway ( CPR ).

The large fleet of CNR was built by the Montreal Locomotive Works, and only the Canadian Pacific Railway, the N & W, the Cotton Belt and Reading Railroad built their own.
