Canada as a whole, and I think I can
best express myself in military terms,
The Western Provinces are like the
outposts of the nation held by most
gallant and enterprising outpost
troops, who are continually pushing
forward into the no man's land of
the great Northwest. Ontario in the
East is still the main body of the na-
tion and the main line of resistance,
and I congratulate you on the way
in which your fine potation is organ-
ized.

saw in the West and was attracted

I found there, and realized what a

a strong resemblance to English conn-

achieve.
