Excerpt from Arguments in Favor of the Ottawa and Georgian Bay Ship Canal: The Shortest, Safest, and Cheapest Route to the Ocean From the Great West, Through Canadian Territory; And the Only Certain Means of Reviving and Restoring the Trade of United Canada Aloud complaint is at present being made that united Canada has been deprived of her carrying trade - that the St. Lawrence has become a tributary of the States, rather than a Canadian highway and despite this, they are meditating about adding to these evils by the proposal to open up a canal route from Lake Huron, leading by the City of Toronto, to Lake Ontario, which would serve no better purpose than to become a bountiful feeder to the United States harbours on the south side of Lake Ontario. In stead of remedying, it is clear that this would but aggrevate the great evils complained of by the Honourable John Young, M. P. P. And those who agree with him.
