I edited the External Links section (diff.). The Title of the External Links section was way to big, and also the links needed a little editing. Nocturnal Wanderer sign 05:17, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Reasoning?

[edit]

Consider the following passage: "On 17 August 1959, Ottawa announced that oil had been discovered in the territory’s Eagle Plains and, almost immediately, the government gave major concessions to the oil industry in an attempt to stimulate more exploration in the area. It was realised that a highway across the Arctic Circle would be needed to transport equipment, infrastructure and revenue to and from the sites. Consequently, construction began at Dawson City in January 1959." Something is wrong here, since the construction—which, we are told, began as a consequence of the announcement by Ottawa—will have commenced some eight months prior to that announcement. Also, what does it mean to say the "construction began at Dawson City"? The highway doesn't really start at Dawson. Finally, are you sure that work started in January? Perhaps this is possible, but it's a very cold time of the year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dawsoncity (talkcontribs) 19:55, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
