Excerpt from Historical Souvenir and Book of the Pageants: Of the 300th Anniversary of the Founding of Quebec, the Ancient Capital of Canada

The difficulties which then attended the creation of a colony add lustre to the name of Samuel de Champlain. The Canadian climate was not balmy, and in the absence of gold mines few inducements could be offered to the immigrant. The sole wealth of the country was its furs, but the monopoly of trade given to persons who were favoured by the court cut off others from all hope of profit. Anyone could see that it was a stern task to clear the Laurentian wilderness.
