Speculation on Canada's Future Wealth and Development
The Monthly Journal of the British Empire Chamber of Commerce cites Canada’s estimated national wealth at 26 billion dollars or 2700 per person and notes Canada would need twelvefold wealth to match the United States. It argues science and efficient resource use will increasingly advantage Canada, with potential gains from better machinery, transport, and enlightened laws guiding future growth. The New York Sun supports that Canada could profit more than the U.S. from future advances, and Canadians have shown notable possession of their natural endowments.
