North Atlantic Triangle : The Interplay of Canada, the United States, and Great Britain

1966

The paper that he read to the Canadian Historical Association at its meeting in Ottawa in the spring of 1931 was the direct inspiration of the long series of volumes which were published by the Yale University Press and the Ryerson Press under the general title of The Relations of Canada and the United States. [...] During the writhings of the earth's skin, pressure inward from the beds of the Atlantic and the Pacific buckled and folded the margins of the continent but left the huge interior an almost level plain. [...] Altitude ex- plains some of these vagaries, but more important are the movements of the upper air in response to the collisions of northern and southern weather-breeding, to the rotation of the earth, and to the influence of the oceans. [...] The total effect is that the zones of equal tempera- tures for the northern half of the United States and Canada assume roughly semi-circular form down from the northeast απd the northwest in winter, and in summer run a little north of west from the Atlantic across the continent until they swing much farther north to follow the Mackenzie Valley and the eastern face of the Rockies to Alaska απd the [...] Lawrence and Great Lakes with the Canadian Shield to the north of them, the slight but perceptible height of land between the Missouri Valley and the valleys of the Assiniboine and the Saskatchewan, and men's inclinations to find comfort in the fact that they and their regional groups are not as other men are.
