Wrong on all accounts - sorry to say.""Back in the 1950s or whenever there was no canal connecting Lakes Erie and Ontario." The Welland Canal is over 179 years old - the first opened in 1829. The 4th & current Welland canal was opened in the 1930s. "The they go and build the Welland Canal through what was plain old dirt, put a bridge over it, and CHARGE A TOLL FOR THE BRIDGE." None of the numerous bridges that cross it or the 2 tunnels that pass under it, charge tolls nor IIRC have they ever.  |
