Niagara Will Not Run Dry As Waterways Debate Rages
A Sun letter argues Niagara would not run dry if lock deepening and new canals raise water levels in Georgian Bay and Lake Superior. It cites Lake Nipissing, Trout Lake, Rainy Lake, and Nipegon as water sources, plus a Chicago drainage canal, and endorses an international commission for waters and deep-sea canals. The piece contrasts American policy with Canadian objections and references Americanization in schools and colonial language shifts.
