The Connecting Canada – Connecting the World Conference will explore the 
connections that create Canada and connection beyond Canada that connect 
the world, with communication, transportation, culture, politics, the 
economy, ideas and beyond.Connecting Canada brings an interdisciplinary 
focus to the celebration of Canada's 150th anniversary at York 
University.   Canada's political and economic history traditionally 
refers to the connection of the country from east to west drawing on 
various technologies, first the canals and then the very celebrated 
story of the country's railways.  Radio through broadcasting created a 
cultural and emotional bond uniting the country simultaneously from 
coast to coast going beyond the connections of canals and railway that 
were largely conduits for trade and structures for political 
organization.  Radio and subsequent communications systems created a 
sense of Canadian unity and identity in new ways that superseded the 
physical boundaries of the Canada.
