Snow, the canal made Buffalo the western terminus, the second largest RR center in the U.S. (second only to Chicago) & the largest flour miller in the world.  The St. Lawrence Seaway & decades of Dem leadership has killed the city.  Now the third poorest in the country.

COMPARING THE ST LAWERENCE TO THE LOVE CANEL OH I MEAN ERIE CANAL IS LIKE COMPARING LAKE SUPERIOR TO A BACKYARD POND. YOU SHOULD HAVE MADE IT WIDER AND DEEPER AND FILLING IN THE ST LAWERENCE WITH THE DIRT.

We gave our canals to the railways. lots of lovely strikes boys!

Pete, ref #3 - The Irish were worn out by the time the canal was dug & you canuck/limeys always want MORE?  They coulda dug it deeper & wider if they weren't carrying an englishman on their backs eh?
