Emigration of Canadians to the United States

THE westward movement of the people during the last thirty years is one of the most familiar themes in the domestic history of Canada. Possessing a population of almost exactly 250,000 in 1891, the four western provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia numbered no less than 2,500,000 at the most recent Census, that of 1921. It was shortly before the former date that the great enterprise associated with the names of Lords Mountstephen and Strathcona came to fruition: the first Canadian transcontinental dates from 1885. But its decisive vindication was delayed until the middle nineties, when a world-wide revival in the demand for farm products, following a generation of agricultural depression, opened wide the doors of opportunity no less to the western townsman who supplied his needs than to the prairie farmer by the railway
