TOLLS WATERWAYS

THERE IS NO DOUBT whatever that Canada has much more to gain by preserving a free waterway than by reverting to an imposition of canal tolls, and I readily respond to the editor s suggestion that I outline the chief reasons supporting this side of the case.
There are three chief reasons why a free waterway is distinctly to Canada’s national advantage, and they may be summarized as follows:

A free waterway is thus a benefit not only to the immediately adjacent territory but to all parts of the country, because water rates influence other rates. Canal tolls would inevitably mean higher transportation costs for almost every

Meet the Motor City Magnet Fishers. Eight-year-old Avery Vanderwal and her father Jason can often be found fishing alongside local waterways like the Rouge and Detroit Rivers. Dressed for the job in a sparkly unicorn coat, Avery uses all of her strength to throw an unusual looking fishing line into the water: a rope tied to a heavy-duty magnet. This isn t your average fishing trip; it s magnet fishing. My favorite part about magnet fishing is getting outdoors and doing something good for the waterways, says Jason, but his daughter confesses that she loves their new pastime because of all the cool objects they find.
