I believe on a single-tile border by ocean on at least two sides can become a canal if you build a city on the spot.

It is a great idea, but I thought it was somewhere else.
Don't worry man... the nooblet22 is..... well... a nooblet 
Loads of people want canals, me included.
I'm sure they could come up with something the AI can understand that allows them to build them. If the AI has to send a ship on a long journey, then it could calculate whether the journey could be greatly shortened if it was able to cross a limited amount of tiles (say 2 or 3). The AI would then know if it built a canal across those 3 tiles then every future journey with a similar route would be able to use the canal.

I've suggested it other places the canal idea other places as well. It's prolly one of the most popular ideas for Civ IV that was never implemented. Anyway, It would open up interesting diplomatic, combat, and trade situtations. Bring it on.

Your insult is as original as his idea. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm just saying its been mentioned so many times. Why not just revive the 100 other threads on this subject?

My guess is they were all buried in the Civ III Thread, after the CIV IV ideas and suggestions forum was merged there. If anyone is really interested in that, they should dig that thread up. Lots of good ideas were there.
