FFWD article on the historical designation of the Rideau Canal. I found the sad ending to the Canal's (and Ottawa's) British creator rather amusing, as well as the decidely NON-military role the Canal plays in daily Ottawa life. The numerous dead Irish & French-Canadian labourers likely did not really find him tragically amusing, but it made for a good drawing.
