Sorry, but the statement that the Canadian government didn't know anything
about American construction of the Alaska Highway until the Indians began
complaining is just plain silly.
The Canadian federal government was fully
informed and consented to the Alaska highway project on Canadian territory.
That is not to say that the Americans didn't do things on Canadian territory
first and ask later, but in the case of the Alaska Highway, that was with
Canadian approval right off the bat. American troops were in Dawson Creek
nine days before official consent was given for construction, but common
sense debunks any claim that they were there without the Canadian
governments full knowledge of the reasons why or without the complete
consent of the Canadian government.
