Canal scheme eyed for Canadian soil near lakes
A plan advances to build a canal between Lake St Clair and Lake Erie. Port Hope’s bid to gain three votes in choosing a county town if separation occurs was rejected by the municipal committee. Sir Saurter Mowat offers temperance supporters a vote on the issue rather than a concession. Mr Grapstone appoints the Earl of Aberdeen as Governor General to succeed the new Earl of Derby for a five year term, a figurehead welcomed amid local debate.
