Inland Canal Expansion Sparks Ontario Quebec Rivalry
The article argues Lower Canada protected its interests through a subservient majority and now resists inland navigation improvements favored by Ontario. It notes proposed canal enlargement starting with the Welland Canal, costing over 100000 this year, while eastern papers resist enlarging the Canals citing expense but ignoring broader national benefits. It condemns eastern selfishness and urges government action, linking this to Confederation aims. It also reports on Scott’s shooting, Riel’s fate, a Red River response, smallpox cases in Parliament, vaccinations, and the illness of Mr. Little. The piece closes with a courteous sign-off.
