This article presents the role of the Canadian federal government in the provision of highways since 1867, describes the Canadian National Highway System, and presents 1989–1998 data on highway-related revenues and expenditures by the governments in both Canada and the United States. The article then examines why the Canadian federal government intervention on highways is incontestably smaller than that of the federal government in the United States. Our hey finding is that the policy of the Canadian government in the provision of highways since Confederation in 1867 can be characterized as “no policy.” Its interventions are best characterized by various ephemeral programs, the main purposes of which are often other than coordinating or promoting highway construction
