Build a self-reliant Canadian economy through bold, practical trade opportunities.
This book argues for widening markets beyond Canada’s borders to power manufacturing and agriculture at home. It links current trade patterns with the potential of the West Indies, South America, and other Atlantic markets to reduce dependence on outside powers and boost domestic industry.
With a focus on Canada’s coal resources, textiles, pottery, and other goods, the work explains how cheaper freights, improved infrastructure, and adaptive use of local fuel can unlock new prosperity. It also discusses how Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces can work together to move more goods—from flour and fish to timber and manufactured products—into bustling foreign markets.
Ideal for readers interested in economic history, policy ideas for growth, and Canadian trade potential.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of Confederation in Canada, focusing on the impact of the Reciprocity Treaty and the role of the United States in shaping the political and economic landscape of British North America. The author argues that the repeal of the treaty had a devastating effect on the Maritime Provinces, leading to a decline in trade and increased economic dependence on the United States. However, the author also highlights the opportunities that arose from this adversity, as the Maritime Provinces were forced to diversify their economies and seek new markets for their goods. The book provides a detailed analysis of the political and economic factors that shaped the decision to form a confederation, and explores the challenges and successes of this new nation.
