General Notes:
50,000 displaced persons arrived in Canada from the United States. They are given 100 acres for the head of the house and 50 acres for each woman and child. It is noteworthy that they are given a generous land grant, free and clear, and food and supplies for the winter. In the next century, the English would procrastinate in recognizing the Canadian Metis' right to own land. The English demanded freedom of choice for themselves but would not allow freedom of choice to be given to the Canadians. These are not the only evils that these ungrateful people would bring to Canada.
