Great Canadian author Pierre Berton wrote the two volume works, 'The National Dream' and 'The Last Spike' about the construction of the Canadian National Railroad. Gord spoke of a meeting where Pierre, seated in front of him, turned around and said "you said more about the railway in your song (CRT) than I did in my two volumes" (paraphrased).
I just loved that!!!
