South ontario Vs North ontarioEssay Preview: South ontario Vs North ontarioReport this essayNorth Ontario vs South OntarioIf my family were to move to any province in Canada it would definitely be Ontario, here are my reasons. First of all, and most importantly, is that Ontario is the closest province to The United States, where most of my friends and family live. Which is Minnesota, this creates an even bigger dispute, because we would have to choose between North Ontario, which is a neighbor to Minnesota, which is where almost all the minerals in Ontario are mined. North Ontario is mostly woodlands and mountains, on the other hand South Ontario is filled with cities and the economy is better. Despite bearing some similarities, the differences between North Ontario and South Ontario are significant.
First of all, to solve this dispute, let’s talk about what each respective region is known for. Starting with North Ontario, North Ontario is mostly known for the large mining productions, dense forests, which of course produce large amounts of wood. Most of northern Ontario lies in the vast Canadian, or Precambrian, Shield. This Shield sweeps across much of Canada. The Shield consists largely of worn-down mountain ranges. Also North Ontario has colder than average temperature, sort of like Minnesota but a step up in the cold department. Most of the “large towns” in North Ontario are around or close to the large mining facilities. Close to all the residencies in North Ontario are relatively small villages, which I like to call in the middle of nowhere because they’re so much wood land, with the exception of the “large towns.” Surprisingly enough North Ontario only consists of one tenth of the population of the already largely populated Ontario, which is already heavily populated with a whooping one third of Canada’s entire population.
Next, let’s analyze my general description of South Ontario. South Ontario is completely different from North Ontario, you might ask yourself: Why exactly is it different? Let’s start off with the land features of South Ontario. Most of the land in southern Ontario is gently rolling country. It is planted to pasture, orchards, and tobacco and field crops. The most notable physical feature of the area is the Niagara Escarpment. This is a steep limestone ridge. It rises like a huge step and runs from the Niagara River northwest to Lake Huron. The spectacular Niagara Falls are formed where the waters of the Niagara River tumble over the escarpment. South Ontario consists mostly of suburban cities, which leads to more people living in the Southern region of Ontario obviously compared to North

There are a number of small, sparsely populated areas on both sides of the Niagara region. North of the escarpment is the Lake Superior Aqueduct. The lake has never been a tourist destination before. The Great Lakes have been open on a large scale ever since the 1940s. Now you have to cross a clear water embankment from Florida to Ohio. This embankment has many large, dry lakes with very low lake surface. The aqueduct, unlike those in Lake Ontario, is also closed off. On May 24, 1968, Mayor of Toronto Bill Mills wrote: I have been asked by former Conservative MPP John Horgan what he thought of the Lake Superior Aqueduct plan to construct a new major transit-rail system on the Niagara-Waterloo line, and I answered: There are not many new rail-connected train stations planned for the Northern waterfront. In fact, the “Lunar Waterway District Project” would be something like a two hour subway, not a two hour subway. As long as the “Lunar Waterway District” works out, I’d guess that the Scarborough Subway will run in the “Northern Shore” as part of the system. However, I think the city is open minded enough on this subject to put forward a proposal. They plan to construct a three-modal express line connecting the “Trent line” to the Scarborough station from the south. The existing Lake Ontario subway tracks will be replaced immediately for construction. I can confirm that the line is scheduled for completion when the new “Lunar” subway is complete and the express line will be on the line in 2015. Once the existing subway tracks are put in place the line will be built along an existing one. They have no idea where the new subway tracks will go, who will use them, or why this new subway line will have to be completed? If the subway tracks were to be used, why would it not be possible to replace the existing subway lines?\p?

There are also plans to construct about 5km of tunnels beneath the Niagara Niagara River. The largest of these underground tunnels is the 4km deep section of the northern Niagara River that is located under a lake. The surface of that layer of water is extremely rough and rocky, which makes it difficult to build at depths of up to 25 cm. The section with the most natural quality is the “North Shore”. The “North” features include the St James Waterway on the northern end of this portion of the Niagara River, as well as the large Scarborough-Owen area along the Niagara section. All of these underground tunnels are open to the elements. It is highly difficult to build tunnels and build tunnels on the surface due to the fact that all four of those tunnels are heavily eroded and not well built.\p?

The Toronto Transit Commission provides a map of the Niagara-Toronto corridor. The map shows the major areas of interest: Toronto subway tracks and tunnel entrances. The other six key spots are also represented by the list of tracks they
