🌹What a great vid and interesting facts. I was quite sad though to find out children worked in the factories, the times were sure tough. 👏🏻Thanks for sharing.

I've heard about an underground tunnel that was recently found, that has remnants of train tracks in it. I asked my FiL about it, and he recalls riding it. It was a diesel engine train, underground, that connected Rockland to Ottawa. I believe if the tunnel were updated, it could host traffic flowing westbound and the surface road could host traffic eastbound; thus solving the widening of the 174 issue completely.
@@frenchcanadiangenealogist Its impossible to correct this complete and utter nonsense without insulting . First , why would you spend millions of dollars to build a tunnel from Rockland to Ottawa( Billions in todays dollars ) when there is perfectly flat ground on which to put a rail line ? There are NO mountains to tunnel through . Its so insanely STUPID that anyone would believe this !!! Also , anyone with eyes in their heads has only to look that this thing called the Ottawa river , which clearly indicates the level of the water table . If anyone was stupid enough to build a tunnel from Rockland to Ottawa ( I even feel stupid for talking about this ) then the whole tunnel would be below the water table and thus it would be completely flooded . Its frightening that people so stupid actually exist. Say... Lets build a rail tunnel under the prairies . Yeah ... That makes sense . You people MUST be Trudeau Liberals... OMG !
Actually there was a train track passing through Clarence-Rockland but its been destroyed. Tho the path still exists and is being used as a bicycle road in summer and as a skydoo path in winter. Speaking of skydoo, despite its english sounding name it was invented by a french Canadian.
Population in the 2000s didnt grow rapidly because of Ottowa. No its because of Potvin Construction, a major building company that started building tons of houses and businesses. In the 1990s Rockland was already at 10 thousands population. But then in the early 2000s Maurice village was built along with a bunch of new stores and the Escale highschool and Saint-Trinitée elementary school were expended. A new arena was built, a hotel was built and a ton of other things. All of this is because of the Potvin company being based in Rockland. In fact the Hotel was built as a present for the daughter of Potvin: The River Rock Inn. The area that is Eastern Ontario that Rockland is in has a lot more towns then those you mentioned: The oldest are probably Vankleek Hill and Cornwall. But there is also Embrun,, Plantagenet and Alfred. The cheese curds that we use in poutine was invented in Eastern Ontario in Saint-Albert.

That's really interesting! Does your father-in-law remember where the tunnel started, or where it was generally located?
@@frenchcanadiangenealogist I see him tomorrow, I'll ask :)

Clarence-Rocklands population is now 25 thousands
