Paper Summary:

The paper begins by briefly detailing the major geographic regions of Canada and then moves onward to discuss how the rugged topography and geographic features of Eastern Canada cut off maritime settlers from the rest of Canada and made them more likely to share cultural and social characteristics with Northeastern Americans than with their brethren in other parts of the Dominion. Finally, the paper looks at how different resource endowments in different parts of Canada -the great agricultural potential of Southern Ontario, for instance, versus the absence of such in the Maritimes (along with the absence of the same flat, accessible terrain) - have been held out by some scholars as the reasons for why some areas of the Dominion flourished economically while others did not. In the end, the paper concludes that whatever thesis or theory one supports, no one can deny that geography is a good starting-point for understanding Canadian regionalism.
