claim prove that federal policies have been stunting that provinces economic growth beginning with sir john a macdonalds national policy of raising tariff barriers to foster native industry these economists state vir tually every federal move has hurt quebec their arguments were set out in an article by joan fraser appearing in the financial times on aug 8 1977 its surprising how midwestern markets surely this is an unfair comment when one realizes that quebec has iron resources and access to coal at least as readily as we in ontario the booming western and midwestern markets presumably canadian were more readily open to montreal than toronto when we remember that both our national railroads have their head offices in montreal and there is little difference in distances the economists claim that opening the st lawrence seaway took an advantage away from montreal up until that educated peoplecariwarp time ocean ships could facts to suittheirpur- no sail past montreal pgse tosuggest that federal governments have systematically introduced policies to hurt quebec overlooks the fact that for the past 80 years with few ex ceptions governments in ottawa have been formed from caucuses dominated by members from quebec in this period quebeckers have had an uncanny ability to elect a majority of their federal members to the govern ment side of the house this has been certainly true under the pearson and trudeau govern ments the quebec economists claim that federal policies have tended to favour ontario with the seaway this was lost but what is forgotten is that the seaway was designed to give montreal a better entreto the rich us hinterland again its surprising that economists would claim that montreal has any transportation disadvantage when we note the cnr cp rail air canada and canada steamship lines are all headquartered in mon treal until 1961 the economists state mon treal had a flourishing refinery industry based on imported oil which supplied much of eastern canada but then the national at quebecs expense but they overlook four un derlying circumstances which have helped on tario gain its present pre eminence first southern ontario has a better climate than the mon treal area in winter for example montreal with an average snowfall of 100 inches has almost twice as much as toronto with an average 54 in ches the montreal january temperature averages about 8 degrees farenheit below that of toronto secondly within 100 miles of toronto there are 100 million americans who are the most prosperous people in the world it is com paratively easy for in dustry situated in southern ontario to sell to these people whereas montreal has only one- half this rich market within a similar radius thirdly ontario since world war ii has encouraged immigration which in turn has added to our prosperity while such immigration to quebec has not been promoted fourthly for generations residents of quebec have fostered the arts and culture with less stress on business while ontarios approach has been just the reverse but lets deal with some of the specific arguments outlined in the times article in criticizing mac- t donalds national policy background it is un- of raising tariffs ft is fortunate that economists stated that our capital in that province would intensive heavy indusfty now be seriously in ontario is due o our suggesting that they access to iron and coal should add to these resources plus the disadvantages by making booming western and quebec a separate state requiring that most of the ontario market should be supplied from alberta what is overlooked however is that alberta crude oil was most costly than the foreign crude used in montreal so for years it was felt that the national policy which was designed to foster the oil industry in alberta cost ontario residents millions of dollars while quebec and our eastern provinces had the con tinued advantage of using the cheap foreign crude oil it is also stated that ontario was the biggest benefactor under the auto pact but this is surely due to torontos ready access to the american market rather than any mischief at the ottawa level it is over 500 miles from montreal to detroit but oakville and oshawa are less than onehalf that distance we are also told that federal policies have fostered the growth of a highly centralized and based in toronto financial system this is a hard one to swallow when we remember the countrys largest bank largest life insurance company and largest trust company are all centred in montreal of canadas ten largest financial institutions six are based in montreal faced with the disadvantages of climate and transportation and with quebecs historical
