Seaway profits trail predictions amid Ontario port losses
Ontario ports show slower growth as St Lawrence Seaway enters ninth season. Since 1959 about 4.5 billion dollars in cargo moved through the 800 mile channel, yet Ontario handles 27 percent of Canadian total, down from 35 percent in 1958. Hamilton expands, Toronto lags, grain and coal totals rise, and shipping patterns shift toward rail and inland hubs.
