Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Shall I Go to Canada?: The Land of Opportunity and Hope I have had to write this book in self-defence. I often receive two or three letters by the same post asking me to tell the writers "all I can about Canada." I often have people say to me: "You have been all over Canada, I wish you would come and advise my son, or brother, or nephew." To answer such letters, to offer such advice, is difficult. It takes up a great deal of time without doing much good. This book is designed to save my time and to help all who want to know about Canada in a more useful way than I can help them by personal correspondence or talk. I have tried to answer all the queries that have ever been put to me, and to add such other information as I think will be useful. I have tried to give a picture of the Dominion as it struck me a few months ago. Since I first went there, in 1907, it has altered very much, and by the time I pay what I hope will be my seventh or eighth visit, in 1917, it will be still more changed from what it was when I first saw it. If you want to have in your mind some idea of what Canada will be eventually, bear in mind these facts: The United States have a hundred million inhabitants. Canada is both a larger and a richer country than the United States. Canada, therefore, is bound in time to be populated by a hundred million people, instead of ten million, which is her population mark to-day. If you throw in your lot, and, more important still, the lot of your children, with Canada, your fortune will be bound up with those of a country which is expanding every day. It has expanded so much since 1907 that there is now a demand for workers of all kinds. Then the Dominion Government wisely said: "We only want farm workers." To-day the conditions have changed. Between four or five million people have been poured into the country since then, and the stream continues unabated. The new Canadians need houses to live in; they need the services of all who provide the necessaries and the luxuries of life.
