Vancouver Needs Coast Defences Now
A reader argues Vancouver is defenseless against invasion and urges immediate coast defences at Point Atkinson or Point Grey. The piece warns a modern fleet could destroy the city in hours and links Vancouver’s safety to Canada building its own navy rather than relying on Britain.

Vancouver Defenceless Says Saturday Sunset
The piece argues that neither policy has been enacted and Vancouver remains undefended on the Pacific coast. It suggests Liberals and Conservatives might back a coast defense measure, notes no imminent invasion, and urges action to protect the city. The tone pushes for a concrete national response.

The Problem of Nationality in Canada and Its Immigrants
Britton B. Cooke asks how Canada should integrate a multilingual immigrant population and what happened to a million people who left or were lost from Canada between 1901 and 1911. He argues the economic cost of immigration and the need for lasting citizenship to strengthen the country.

Immigration currents and the Canadian migration debate
The record shows 55 990 Canadians moved to the United States in 1912, while Canada gained 183 710 from the U S. The piece analyzes two-way migration, notes losses comparable to Edmonton and Medicine Hat populations, and discusses how outward ships carried many seeking better fortunes. It cites British Isles emigration to Canada versus Canadian drawing from Britain and stresses the need for two-way immigration policy. It identifies three main causes of Canadian losses: immigrant disappointment, wealth-return migration, and the wandering disease prompting spontaneous departures. It tells of an immigrant Jones who moves to Canada seeking farming, then becomes enamored with the voyage and adventure, risking leaving his home behind.

Wandering Disease Affects Immigrant Farm Labourers
A study of a drift of Canadian and American workers shows how wandering among immigrants harms communities. Ontario uses a labor bureau to place workers, lengthen contracts, and reduce migration leakage, tying homes to the land through anchored employment and patriotic education.
