FOREWORD

This book is the fruits of a visit to Canada in which the author crossed the country from Montreal to Vancouver, and returned from Halifax, Nova Scotia. As a journalist and National President of the Brotherhood Movement, which advises Brotherhood emigrants going out, and arranges for their welcome by Canadian Brotherhood men, he found all doors open to him. He had countless talks with men of all classes, native Canadians and British settlers who had been in the country from two or three to forty years. Ministers of the Dominion and Provincial Governments freely answered his numerous questions as to the wisest course to be adopted by various classes of emigrants, and Dominion and Provincial State officials gave him all possible information in frank talk and by placing at his disposal valuable State publications. Ministers of religion, prominent business and professional men, journalists, “real estate” men, hosts and hostesses in whose homes he was graciously received, heads of Emigration Departments, leading officials of the great transcontinental railways, all contributed to his accumulating stock of information; and, needless to say, he lost no opportunity of seeing things for himself and forming his own judgments. In his railway journeys, amounting to 10,000 miles, he fraternised with the commercial travellers on the trains, and from them, and their discussions and comparison of notes among themselves, he picked up a vast amount of invaluable information as to the development, the trading methods, and the prospects of the country. It has been a long business digesting and reducing the material to order, but the author hopes that the book will prove helpful to those seeking a career in a land of illimitable possibilities, and to the increasing number of people at home who are tempted to invest money in Canadian undertakings. He is specially concerned to help those who decide on making Canada their homeland.
