  Ontario - LoveToKnow 1911
The climate of Ontario varies greatly, as might be expected from its wide range in latitude and the relationships of the Great Lakes to the southern peninsula of the province.
Ontario is thus pre-eminently an agricultural province, though the growth of manufactures has increased the importance of the towns and cities, and many of the farmers are seeking new homes in the provinces of Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
In the discussions from which sprang the federation of 1867, Ontario was the one province strongly in favour of the union, which was only rendered possible by the coalition of her rival leaders, J. Macdonald and George Brown.

 Glacial Lakes and Rivers form the Mississippi River Valley
During the 3,000 years that River Warren carried water from these and other smaller glacial lakes, the Mississippi River valley was carved bluff to bluff and the resulting valley was approximately 250 feet deeper than it is today.
With the demise of the glacial lakes, the tremendous flow of water was diminished and the Mississippi River became the most important stream in the area.
Therefore the lower Mississippi River Valley was probably formed during the Jurassic period, some 208 million years ago, as a failed arm of a triple junction.
