	Ontario - MSN Encarta
		Ontario is the second largest of Canada’s ten provinces in area and the largest in terms of population.
		Ontario can be divided into three major natural regions: the Canadian Shield (also known as the Laurentian Plateau), which cuts a wide swath across the center of the province; the Hudson Bay Lowlands to the north; and the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Lowlands, which form the southernmost region.
		Ontario shares Lake of the Woods, in the southwestern corner of the province, with Manitoba and Minnesota; Lake Saint Clair with Michigan near Detroit; and the broad Ottawa River, which forms about half of Ontario’s border, with the neighboring province of Québec.

	Chapter 6: The Champlain Canal
		The Champlain canal was the natural channel through which all of the products of the vast northern section of the state should pass, but its incapacity was such as to cause large amounts of these products to seek other outlets.
		No provisions were made for carrying on the improvement of the Champlain canal for the next two years, but in 1893 a small appropriation of $50,000 was made for this purpose, and one of $90,000 for repairing the dam across the Mohawk river at Cohoes.
		Of the Champlain canal, he said that on the completion of the work then under contract there would be about twenty-eight and one-half miles of enlarged canal, the greater part of which would have a uniform depth of six feet, forty-four feet bottom width and fifty-eight feet water-surface.
