Abstract

Albert FaucherFaucher, Albert and Maurice Lamontagne argued in their classic 1953 article, “History of Industrial Development,” that Quebec’s relative distance from sources of coal and iron ore retarded its industrial development from the 1860s to 1911 in comparison with that of Ontario. Quebec was able to acquire these resources only at a higher cost than was Ontario in an era when iron and steel production was critical to industrial development.
