In this part of the series, I will follow the Lake Ontario shoreline west and northeast from St. Catharines, which is just to the west of the Niagara River on the Ontario-side to Kingston at the entrance to the St. Lawrence Waterway.
So far I have looked in-depth at cities and places all around the shores of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and the Michigan- and Ontario-sides of Lake Huron; and the New York-side of Lake Ontario, paying particular attention to lighthouses; railroad and streetcar history; waterfalls, wetlands and dunes; interstates and highways; golf courses, airports and race tracks; major corporate players; mines and mining; labor relations; and many other things.
As a way of focusing my research, I will be specifically following the location of lighthouses and waterfalls around Lake Ontario as I did in the last two-parts of this series as this particular focus has yielded a great deal of information as to what I believe happened here and our hidden history.
I believe there was a highly-sophisticated and highly-controlled hydrological and electrical system throughout the Great Lakes Region that was an integral part of the Earth’s original energy grid system, and as we go through the information available to find along the way, I will continue to show you exactly why I believe the Great Lakes were formed by the outflow of the waterfalls and the interconnected hydrological system after the deliberate destruction of the original energy grid, which subsequently destroyed the surface of the Earth around key infrastructure of the energy grid, which besides waterfalls, included components like lighthouses, rail infrastructure, canals, and what we know of as “forts,” and turned the landscape we see today into lakes, dunes, deserts, swamps, bogs, or causing the land to shear off and/or become submerged.
Lake Ontario is bounded by the Province of Ontario on the north, west, and southwest, and by the State of New York on the south and east, with the International Border of Canada and the United States spanning across the center of Lake Ontario.
Lake Ontario serves as the outlet of the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean via the St. Lawrence River, which comprises the western end of the St. Lawrence Seaway.
With regards to the bathymetry of Lake Ontario, the water- depth ranges from the shallow depths of 0 to 100-meters, or 328-feet, extending out quite a distance from the shoreline, and from 150- to 200-meters, or 492- to 656-feet, in deeper parts of the lake, with its deepest point marked by the “x” at 244-meters, or 802-feet.
The average depth of Lake Ontario is 86-meters, or 283-feet.
The relatively shallow waters found throughout the Great Lakes are notorious for shipwrecks, with an estimated somewhere between 6,000 to 10,000 ships and somewhere around 30,000 lives lost.
The reasons we are given for the high number of shipwrecks consist of things like severe weather, heavy cargo and navigational challenges.
Lake Ontario is no exception to this, where there are estimates ranging between 270 and 500 shipwrecks, though the total number is not known.
I am going to start at St. Catharine’s, just west of the Niagara River region that I looked at in-depth in the last part of this series.
St. Catharine’s is the largest city in Canada’s Niagara Region, and is 32-miles, or 51-kilometers, south of Toronto across Lake Ontario, and is 12-miles, or 19-kilometers, inland from the International Boundary with the United States along the Niagara River.
The nearby Niagara Falls has been called a “Hydroelectric Mecca.”
Niagara Falls is capable of producing 4-million kilowatts of electricity, which is shared by the United States and Canada, and is also noteworthy for its present-day and historic hydroelectric and power-generation facilities.
St. Catharine’s is the northern entrance of the Welland Canal, which I will be talking about more shortly.
One of St. Catharine’s official nicknames is the “Garden City” due to having 1,000-acres, or 4-kilometers-squared of parks, gardens and trails.
One of the parks in St. Catharine’s is Montebello Park in the center of town.
Montebello Park was said to have been designed by Frederick Law Olmsted after the city purchased the site in 1887 for the first public park.
The main features of the park are a pavilion and bandstand.
The pavilion was said to have been constructed in 1888 on the foundation of the unfinished estate of William Hamilton Merritt, a businessman and politician who was a prominent figure in the Niagara Region’s history.
Weekly dances on Saturday night were held at the pavilion until the 1940s.
The bandstand at Montebello Park was said to have been inspired by the bandstand at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo and constructed by Edwin Nicholson in 1904.
I bring the Frederick Law Olmsted park up because we’ve already seen his historical presence in Rochester on Lake Ontario, where he was credited with the design of four parks – Highland Park; the Genessee Valley Park; Maplewood Park; and Seneca Park, which is a zoo; and on Lake Michigan – at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair and in Milwaukee, Lake Park and Juneau Park in Milwaukee – and I know we are going to see him again in Buffalo on Lake Erie.
In our historical narrative, Frederick Law Olmsted was a journalist before becoming a prolific and celebrated landscape architect, who was said to have gotten his start teaming up with Calvert Vaux in the design and creation of Central Park in New York City.
Olmsted and his firm were credited altogether with some 500 design projects, including, but not limited to, 100 public parks, 200 private estates, 50 residential communities, and 40 academic campus designs.
I think that Frederick Law Olmsted was a major player in the creation of the new reset narrative of our history.
I talked about his role in-depth in this post “The Life & Times of Frederick Law Olmsted – A Retrospective of Reset History.”
The Niagara Region has had multiple railway lines connected to it, like the Grand Trunk Railway as seen in this 1887 map.
Said to have been constructed starting in 1852, the Grand Trunk Railway was officially opened in 1859 between Sarnia in Ontario and Portland in Maine.
We are told the Grand Trunk Railway was merged into the Canadian National Railway in 1923 because of financial difficulties.
The Niagara, St. Catharines and Toronto (NS & T) Railroad was an interurban electric railway that operated from the late 1800s until it was dissolved in the 1960s.
It connected communities in the Niagara Region, with significant networks in St. Catharine’s and Niagara Falls, and between Port Dalhousie and Lakeside Park.
Port Dalhousie is a community located on the shore of Lake Ontario.
There are two historic lighthouses located at Port Dalhousie – the Range Front and Range Rear Lighthouses.
The Range Front, or Outer Range, Lighthouse is a square wooden lighthouse that was said to have been constructed from 1879 to 1880 to meet the needs of the new steamships operating on the lakes, and it is still active as a navigational aid today.
The Range Rear, or Inner Range, Lighthouse, said to have been constructed sometime 1896, is one of the few octagonal wooden lighthouses that still remain on the Canadian-side of the Great Lakes.
It was decommissioned in 1988 as an active lighthouse.
Port Dalhousie’s most popular beach is located at Lakeside Park.
Lakeside Park was an historic Trolley Park, serving as a major destination for the Niagara, St. Catharine’s and Thorold electric streetcar which brought crowds to its amusements, dance halls and beaches from the early 1900s until service ended in 1951.
The Lakeside Park Carousel is the only remaining attraction at Lakeside Park today.
We are told it was moved to Lakeside Park in Port Dalhousie from the Scarborough Beach Park in Toronto in 1921, and then it was moved from its first location in Lakeside Park to its current location between the beach and parking lot in the early 1980s.
The location of Lakeside Park is right next to the pier with the Port Dalhousie Range Lighthouses.
The rest of the Lakeside Park Amusement Park was demolished in 1970.
This is the Lakeside Park that was mentioned in the Rush single by the same name from their third album, “Caress of Steel.”
The lyrics were written by band member Neal Peart, who grew up near there.
In the last part of this series, I found the Seabreeze Amusement Park on Lake Ontario near Rochester, New York.
It is sandwiched between Lake Ontario and Irondequoit Bay, a little ways to the east of the Charlotte-Genessee Lighthouse on the Summerville Pier.
Like Lakeside Park in St. Catharines, the Seabreeze Amusement Park was an historic trolley park, but unlike Lakeside Park, it is still an operating amusement park today.
It is the fourth-oldest operating amusement park in the United States, and the thirteenth-oldest in the world, having opened in 1879.
We are told that in the 1870s, the shore of Lake Ontario became a destination for tourists coming from Rochester, and that in 1879, the Rochester and Lake Ontario Railroad built a rail-line from Portland Avenue in Rochester to the Sea Breeze neighborhood at the inlet of Irondequoit Bay as its terminus, and subsequently opened a resort for picnics and other summer activities, which opened on August 5th of 1879.
Trolley parks were said to have started in the United States in the 19th-century as picnic and recreation areas at the ends of streetcar lines, and were precursors to today’s amusement parks.
By 1919, there were estimated to be between 1,500 and 2,000 such parks.
I believe these trolley parks were part of the original energy grid system as well, and that they were somehow involved with recharging the Earth’s energy grid for the original civilization in a really fun way, as they were located at the end terminals of streetcar lines, and by-and-large were utilized by the bringers-in of the world’s new system for a short time until they were no longer needed, or just plain inconvenient to the new narrative.
The Seabreeze Amusement Park is one of the relatively few trolley parks that managed to survive into the present-day, though minus the trolleys and probably a few other things.
The QEW, or Queen Elizabeth Way, goes through St. Catharines.
Iis a major freeway in Ontario that connects Buffalo in New York via the Peace River Bridge, to Toronto.
It begins at Fort Erie, Ontario, and ends at Highway 427, where the physical freeway continues as the Gardiner Expressway into downtown Toronto, and for the most part follows the Lake Ontario shoreline, just like the historic railroad infrastructure of the region.
St. Catharines is on the Wine Route, a driving tour of the wineries of this region.
The Niagara Peninsula is the largest and most concentrated wine-making region in Canada from the vineyards that flourish on what are called the “Benchlands” of the Niagara Escarpment.
Brock University in St. Catharines is at the center of Canada’s Niagara Peninsula on the Niagara Escarpment, and the only university in Canada in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Brock University is a public research university, and has programs like “Grape and Wine Technology,” along with programs in health sciences, research, and other unique industry connections.
The Short Hills Provincial Park is also at the center of the Niagara Peninsula near Brock University.
Decew Falls is between these two places.
The Short Hills Provincial Park is described as a jumble of small but steep hills and valleys created by the last Ice Age on the southern edge of the Niagara Escarpment.
The park contains six trails, including the Bruce Trail, and several waterfalls.
The Upper Decew Falls and the Lower Decew Falls are adjacent to the Short Hills Provincial Park on what is called Twelve-Mile Creek
They are two of the many waterfalls of the Niagara Escarpment.
The Upper Decew Falls has a height of 72-feet, or 22-meters.
The Morningstar Mill at the top right beside the falls is currently being restored.
The Morningstar Mill was a water-powered grist mill and saw mill and has all of its original equipment.
The Lower Decew Falls, located downstream of the Upper Falls, has a height of 25-feet or almost 8-meters.
The Decew Falls Generating Stations on 12-mile Creek are located at the base of the Niagara Escarpment, located between Brock University directly to the east, and Power Glen, directly to the west.
Decew Falls Generating Station No. 1 is the oldest continually-running hydrolectric power-generating station in Canada, said to have been built between 1897 and 1898, the year it started operating.
It was said to have been built by the Cataract Power Company to supply power to the electric street railway in Hamilton, to the west of St. Catharines, at a distance of 34-miles, or 55-kilometers, at high voltage using three-phase and high-frequency, were unique features of this generating station.
It was acquired by the Hydro-Electric Power Association, (now OPG) in 1930, and continues to generate power for the Province of Ontario.
We are told that the Decew Falls Generating Station No. 2 was added in 1943 to help supply power for the war effort.
Power Glen is noteworthy for its history as a milling and power production site.
Saw and grist mills were established here in the late 18th-century, and the location got its name from the nearby Decew Falls Generating Station No. 1 that started operating in 1898.
The Welland Canal passes through this part of the Niagara Peninsula, between St. Catharines’ Port Weller on Lake Ontario on the northern end and Port Colborne on Lake Erie on the southern end.
The Welland Canal allows ships to go up and down the Niagara Escarpment, and according to our historical narrative, it has followed four different routes since it first opened on November 30th of 1829.
It is part of the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes Waterway.
The St. Lawrence Waterway is described as the system of rivers, canals, locks and channels in the northern United States and eastern Canada that allows ocean-going vessels to travel from the Atlantic Ocean throughout the Great Lakes region of North America.
We are told the Great Lakes Waterway is a system of natural channels and artificial locks and canals that allow for the navigation between all of the Great Lakes, with the major civil engineering works being the Welland Canal between Lakes Ontario and Erie, and the Soo Locks between Lakes Superior and Huron, and what are called dredged channels in the St. Mary’s River, the Detroit River, Lake St. Clair, and the St. Clair River between Lakes Huron and Erie.
The Bruce Trail has sections running through Brock University and Short Hills Provincial Park.
The Bruce Trail is a hiking trail that runs along the Niagara Escarpment for 250-miles, or 400-kilometers, from the Niagara River to Tobermary, a small community at the northern tip of the Bruce Peninsula.
It is the oldest and longest marked hiking trail in Canada.
The trail mostly follows the edge of the Niagara Escarpment.
There are many waterfalls on the Bruce Trail, where streams or rivers flow over the edge of the Niagara Escarpment.
When I saw this map of the region’s waterfalls, it struck me how many there are on the Ontario side of Lake Huron and the Georgian Bay, including a series of waterfalls running along the Niagara Escarpment from Niagara Falls.
In the course of doing the research for this series on the Great Lakes, I have come to understand deeply that the Georgian Bay of Lake Huron is formed by the Niagara Escarpment.
The Niagara Escarpment runs predominantly east-to-west, from New York, through Ontario, Michigan, and Wisconsin, with a half-circle shape, attached to a straight-line, when drawn on a map.
As I continue to go through the exploration of Lake Ontario, I will show why I believe this is a significant finding with regards to the Great Lakes of the region that we see today that we have been taught to believe have always been there but which I now believe are a relatively recent occurrence and weren’t there before, and believe they were created by the outflow of the waterfalls of the region after the deliberate destruction of the original energy grid, which subsequently destroyed the surface of the Earth.
For one example of many, when I was looking at the shores of Lake Superior in the first part of this series, I found places like the Sable Falls in the red box on the left at the northeastern end of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan.
The Sable Falls on Lake Superior are geographically not far from the St. Mary’s River and the Soo Locks in the red box on the right.
Sable Falls flow 75-feet, or 23-meters directly into Lake Superior.
As we go through the information available to find along the way, I will show you exactly why I believe the Great Lakes were formed by the outflow of the waterfalls of the region after the deliberate destruction of the energy grid, which subsequently destroyed the surface of the Earth.
I am seeing a highly-sophisticated and highly-controlled hydrological and electrical system throughout the region that I believe was the pre-existing infrastructure of the original energy grid and not built when we are told it was in our historical narrative, but instead recovered and made operational for however short or long a period of time in our modern history.
The Soo Locks on the St. Mary’s River are between Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
The Soo Locks are the largest waterway traffic system on Earth, and are called the “Linchpin of the Great Lakes,” allowing ships to travel between Lake Superior and the lower Great Lakes.
The first locks were said to have been built here in 1855, which would have been six-years before the beginning of the American Civil War.
We are told Sault Ste. Marie was one city until the border between the United States and Canada was established at the St. Mary’s River in a treaty after the War of 1812, creating Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and Sault Ste. Marie Ontario, and on both sides of the river, the area is referred to as “The Soo.”
The main course of the St. Mary’s River, starts at Whitefish Bay at the eastern end of Lake Superior, and flows 74.5-miles, or 119.9-kilometers, southeast around Sugar Island into Lake Huron.
The St. Mary’s River also has what is called a branch going into what is called Lake Nicolet on one side of Sugar Island.
Here is a close-up of what looks like a canal heading in that direction, including a golf course right next to the St. Mary’s River.
In western New York State, the Niagara Escarpment runs from Lewiston and trends easterly for 79-miles, or 127-kilometers, to just beyond Rocheaster.
The Onandaga Escarpment runs for 62-miles, or 100-kilometers, from Buffalo in an easterly direction to just beyond Caledonia.
Both escarpments feature numerous waterfalls, in addition to the ones I am highlighting.
I strongly suspect that these escarpments and their waterfalls were intentionally-designed components of the hydroelectric infrastructure of the original energy grid, and were not natural in origin as we have been taught to believe.
Rockway Falls and Balls Falls are located to the west of Decew Falls.
Rockway Falls are 3-miles, or 5-kilometers, from Decew Falls on the Niagara Escarpment.
They are 45-feet, or almost 14-meters, high, on Fifteen Mile Creek in the Rockway Conservation Area.
There is an historic salt spring in the Rockway Conservation Area, that was in use starting in 1792, and this area was also used as a potashery, or a place for making potash.
Potash was a manufactured product made from wood ash used to make glass, pottery, soap, china, gunpowder, and to dye fabrics.
There is also a stone railroad bridge over Fifteen Mile Creek in the St. Catharines area that is overgrown with vegetation.
The tree roots growing out over the bank in the air here reminds me of seeing the same thing in Oklahoma City when I was first waking up to all of this between 2012 and 2016.
The Oklahoma City picture of the tree roots was taken right next to this place at the same location with what appears to be old stonework.
I suspect these places were once canals where the original stone work along the waterway has been removed.
Still from the same location in Oklahoma City, what are called creeks and rivers throughout Oklahoma look exactly like this – ugly red clay gashes in the landscape.
This is a good place to assert my belief that the cement industry is built upon pulverizing ancient masonry.
It’s not supposed to be there in our historical narrative, so we don’t even conceive of it, so certain industries can do whatever they want because it doesn’t exist.
The following pictures are all connected with the Dolese Quarry, based in Oklahoma, which is a major company providing aggregates, concrete, and products used for building.
They are not the only example, but the first that I became aware of.
Balls Falls are located 3.5-miles, or 5.6-kilometers, northwest of Rockway Falls.
Today, the land on which the two Balls Falls, Lower and Upper, are located is in the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Area on the Niagara Escarpment.
The Ball Brothers, John and George, had immigrated to Canada from England, and were originally from Germany.
They purchased the land around Twenty Mile Creek in 1807, and established a grist mill, saw mill, and woollen mill at the falls, and the area turned into Glen Elgin, a very small town of 19.
We are told most of the town lost its population when the Great Western Railway came through the area and folks moved out to be closer to the railroad.
The land was sold to Niagara Peninsula Conservation in 1962 and the ghost town and falls all became a tourist attraction.
The Upper Balls Falls are 30-feet, or 9-meters, high.
There are old stone ruins on the trail between the Upper and Lower Balls Falls that are described as the remnants of the old woollen mill.
I think original infrastructure was either repurposed as mills, or called such to give the stone ruins a reason for existence that were maybe never used as mills but needed to be explained.
The Lower Balls Falls are 100-feet, or 30-meters, high.
Next I am going to take a look at the general area between Balls Falls and Lake Ontario, looking at places like Jordan Station, Vineland Station, and Beamsville, with the The QEW tracking along the lake shore.
The communities of this area are part of the Town of Lincoln.
The Town of Lincoln has its commercial and administrative center in Beamsville.
Lincoln has a moderate climate and mild winters, and is known for its orchards, vineyards, wineries, and restaurants that feature local produce and wines.
Fruit crops include peaches, apples, pears, and cherries.
The community of Jordan is on the eastern edge of the Town of Lincoln, and is located along a major highway and rail transportation corridor between Canada and the United States, being 62-miles, or 100-kilometers from Toronto and 40-miles, or 65-kilometers, from Buffalo.
Jordan is in the heart of Ontario’s wine country, and there are many vineyards and wineries here.
A Canadian National Freight line runs on the main railway line through the Jordan area at Jordan Station.
The remnants of an historical stone Great Western Railway bridge are located right next to the current railway bridge.
The current Jordan Station bridge does not have information on who built it or when.
The historical ruins next to it were said to have been a stone bridge constructed in 1867.
Jordan Station is situated at what is called the natural harbor at the mouth of the Twenty Mile Creek, and said to have been the cornerstone of the early economy of Jordan as it was a shipping center for the export of goods, like grain, flour, fruit, logs, and potash, to name a few.
I suspect the agricultural productivity of this region to be in part due to a connection from the original energy grid system between the railroad, hydroelectric system, and all kinds of agricultural activity, functioning as the original electroculture, today a gardening practice that harnesses atmospheric electricity using copper wires or antennas.
I consistently find historic railway and hydroelectric connections through areas known for high-yield and high-quality agricultural production.
Even at this one location alone, the Pineview Orchards, just to the north of the railroad tracks at Jordan Station, and the 180 Estate Winery, just to the south, are both known for their high-quality produce and products.
Vineland is just to the west of Jordan, and also on the railway line.
Vineland’s fruit crops include cherries, peaches, apples, and pears.
Vineland is recognized as Canada’s premier tender fruit region.
A tender fruit is classified as a category of soft, juicy fruits with easily bruised flesh, like peaches, nectarines, apricots and cherries.
Vineland is known for its local fruit markets and roadside stands, supplying local produces.
Beamsville comes next from Vineland going west.
Beamsville is also part of this productive agricultural belt with vineyards and orchards, and along with the railroad going through here, has an interchange with the QEW.
We are told the Great Western Railroad arrived in Beamsville in 1853, when the original station was constructed, and that a new station was constructed by the Grand Trunk Railway in 1898.
This building was believed to have been removed in the 1970s, and the land now forms a part of a commercial plaza.
The Hamilton, Grimsby, and Beamsville (HG & B)Electric Railway was said to be the first electric railway in Canada designed for interurban transportation, first starting in 1896.
Passengers could travel the 23-miles, or 37-kilometers, between Beamsville and Hamilton in a little over an hour, with a dozen stops in-between.
Its peak year was 1916, when the HG & B carried over a million passengers.
We are told the last HG & B train pulled into Beamsville in June of 1931 with the increased competition from cars and buses.
Interurbans were a type of electric railway with self-propelled rail-cars running between cities and towns in North America and Europe.
They were prevalent in North America starting in 1900, and by 1915, interurban railways in the United States were operating along, 15,500-miles, or 24,900-kilometers of track.
It was seen, however, as far more convenient, and cost-efficient to carry cargo by way of truck and other automobiles.
By 1930, most of the interurbans were gone, with a few surviving into the 1950s.
For passenger service today, the Lakeshore West Line is operated as part of the GO Transit System as a commuter rail-line, that extends all along the shore of Lake Ontario from the Toronto Union Station, through Hamilton at the western end of Lake Ontario, and then eastward along the shore to Niagara Falls, and is the busiest of the seven lines of the GO System, a regional public transportation system that started serving the Greater Toronto area in 1967.
The Grimsby area comes next going west, which includes Beamer Falls in the Beamer Conservation Area, and the Elizabeth Street Pumphouse on Forty Mile Creek.
First, Beamer Falls on the Niagara Escarpment.
The Upper and Lower Beamer Falls are located in the Beamer Memorial Conservation Area in the Forty Mile Creek Gorge.
There are trails here that connect to the previously-mentioned Bruce Trail.
The Beamer Memorial Conservation Area is known for its panoramic views of Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment.
The Upper Beamer Falls are 45-feet, or 14-meters, -high.
The Lower Beamer Falls have a height of 20-feet, or 6-meters.
There is an old quarry in the Conservation area said to date from the 19th-century.
The location received its name from settler John Beamer, who came to the area in 1790 after purchasing this land on the escarpment, and built a sawmill by the waterfall that bears his name that was run by the family for several generations.
Next, on to the town of Grimsby.
Grimsby is located at the eastern end of the Hamilton Census Metropolitan area.
Grimsby is situated between Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment.
For over one-hundred years, Grimsby was known for its fruit-growing industry, in particular peaches, but apples, cherries, pears, plums, and grapes as well.
The great quantity of fruit was shipped out by train and the steamships that docked regularly at Grimsby Beach.
Most of the orchards in Grimsby, however, were replaced by houses in the 1950s and 1960s, and very few remain.
This history is retained in the name of the Canadian Junior Ice Hockey team from Grimsby, which is the Peach Kings.
With regards to the railroad in Grimsby, this is a photo circa 1855 of Grimsby Station, said to be the first train station here that was built by the Great Western Railway.
After it was replaced by a larger and more elaborate station in 1900, this building was converted into a building used for packing and shipping fruit.
This photo also has the look of one those staged photos from this era.
Just like these examples.
This one was taken of the Great Paducah Flood of 1884, in Paducah, Kentucky, with the words “stage of water” even mentioned on this one…
…this one in Nelson County, Virginia, on the Orange and Alexandria bridge…
…this one taken in Trenton, New Jersey sometime in the 1870s…
…and this one taken in front of the Machinery Hall in Cincinnati at the 1888 Centennial Exposition of the Ohio Valley and the Central States.
These days, the Grimsby Station is unstaffed, and is served by the joint Amtrak-Via Rail Maple Leaf train that runs between Toronto and New York City.
Next, I am going to look at Grimsby Beach and the Elizabeth Street Pumphouse.
First, Grimsby Beach.
Grimsby Beach is an historic neighborhood.
It was first the location of the Ontario Methodist Camp Meeting ground in 1846, and then in 1910, the land was purchased by a public relations man from Cleveland, Harry Wylie, who built carousels, a movie theater, and a figure-8 roller coaster
We are told the Canada Steamship company bought the park in 1916, but that the park’s popularity decreased because fires kept consuming its wooden buildings.
We are told that by the 1950s, the park’s attractions were all closed, and developers bought the land.
The Grimsby Beach Cottages, known as the “Painted Ladies of Grimsby,” are described as Victorian ginger bread houses on the shores of Grimsby Beach.
Next, the Elizabeth Street Pumphouse is located next to the entrance of Forty Mile Creek at Lake Ontario.
It was said to be part of a water filtration system that included the pumphouse and a 90,000-gallon, or 340,687-liter, gravity-feed escarpment reservoir that was built in 1905.
Today, the historic pumphouse is an interpretive center and meeting place.
The pumphouse is something that would have been part of the original hydrological system that was connected to the railroads, canals and the waterfalls throughout the region.
Other places in Grimsby include the original Grimsby Public Library, today the archives of the Grimsby Historical Society was said to be a Carnegie Library that was built in 1912 with an $8,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie.
We’ve already seen a number of Carnegie Libraries in Canada and the United States in the series looking around the Great Lakes, like the ones on Lake Huron in Forest Ontario, what is now the Forest Carnegie Library Event Center, which was said to have been funded and built in 1912 as part of the Andrew Carnegie Library program…
…and Kincardine.
The Carnegie Library in Kincardine was said to have received a grant in 1906 and first opened in 1908 and enlarged in 1990, and is still in use as their public library today.
In our historical narrative, there were over 2,500 Carnegie Libraries built around the world between 1883 and 1929, with most of them being in the United States, but there were Carnegie Libraries in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Serbia, Belgium, France, the Caribbean, Mauritius, Malaysia and Fiji as well.
Andrew Carnegie was a Scottish immigrant to America, who came to Pittsburgh in 1848 with his parents at the age of 12, got his start as a telegrapher, and who by the 1860s, had investments in such things as railroads, bridges and oil derricks, and ultimately worked his way into being a major player in Pittsburgh’s steel industry.
Andrew Carnegie was ranked as the 6th-richest American of all-time by CNN Business, with an adjusted wealth of $101-billion.
Among many other things, both the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations have been highly involved in the American Educational System.
Even as early as 1914, the National Education Association expressed alarm at the activity of the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations, and their efforts to control the policies of State educational institutions, and everything related to the educational system.
As we leave Grimsby heading westward, we are entering the Hamilton area.
Hamilton is called the “City of Waterfalls.”
There are more than one-hundred waterfalls and cascades in the city limits of Hamilton, which is one of the highest number of waterfalls for any urban areas of its size.
Hamilton is a port city on the western end of Lake Ontario with a population of over 500,000 people.
The first places I want to take a look at on the way into Hamilton are the Devil’s Punchbowl Conservation Area, which has the Upper and Lower Punchbowl Falls; Felker’s Falls; Glendale Falls; and Albion Falls.
The Devil’s Punchbowl Conservation Area contains two separate waterfalls on Stoney Creek, the Upper and Lower Punchbowl Falls.
I have found the the same style of waterfalls in different places all around the world.
It looked like they had a selection of models of waterfalls to choose from, from small to large, like the following examples.
The Lower Punchbowl Falls is described as a classic 18-foot, or 5.5-meter, waterfall, about 328-feet, or 100-meters downstream from the Upper falls.
The Lower Punchbowl Falls brings to mind the Bridal Veil Falls in Pike’s Peak State Park in McGregor, Iowa.
Bridal Veil Falls is described as “a small natural waterfall that flows gracefully out of a horizontal limestone outcropping.”
The Upper Punchbowl Falls is described as one of the Niagara Escarpment’s most amazing sights.
It is an 111-foot, or almost 34-meter, -high waterfall, that was said to have carved the Devil’s Punchbowl and gorge from huge meltwater rivers at the end of the last Ice Age.
The Upper Falls at the Devil’s Punchbowl brings to mind this waterfall in the city of Davao in the Philippines.
Davao is also a city known for its many waterfalls.
One of the bedrock foundations of modern science is the work of Sir Charles Lyell.
Sir Charles Lyell was said to have demonstrated the power of known natural causes in explaining Earth’s history.
In his books, “The Principles of Geology,” published in three volumes between 1830 and 1833, he presented the idea that the Earth was shaped by the same natural processes that are still operating today at similar intensities, and as such a proponent of “Uniformitarianism,” a gradualistic view of natural laws and processes occurring at the same rate now as they have always done.
This theory was in contrast to “catastrophism,” or theory that Earth has been shaped by sudden, short-lived violent events of a worldwide nature.
As a result of Lyell’s work, the glacial theory gained acceptance between 1839 and 1846, and we are told during that time, scientists started to recognize the existence of ice ages, and do to this day.
Sir Charles Lyell’s books on “Uniformitarianism” and “Ice Ages” in geology became the only accepted model taught by Academia.
And in so doing, provided the perfect cover for things like megaliths and megalithic stone structures in North America like escarpments and waterfalls, and instead telling us that they are natural features created from the last Ice Age.
Another example of how this ancient megalithic civilization is covered up by the Ice Age is by what are called “glacial erratics”
“Glacial erratics” are defined as rocks that have been moved by glaciers and deposited in new locations, often far from where they originated.
So what’s called a “glacial erratic” in North America is called a “dolmen” in many other places around the world!
Dolmens are defined as prehistoric monuments of two or more upright stones supporting a horizontal stone slab and thought to be a tomb by those seeking to explain them.
“Balanced Rock” in North Salem, New York, on the left is categorized as a “glacial erractic,” and the Proleek Dolmen is found in Ireland on the right.
Felker’s Falls on Stoney Creek on the Niagara Escarpment are located in the Felker’s Falls Conservation Area right next to a Hamilton Subdivision.
Felker’s Falls are 72-feet, or 22-meters, -high, and considered what is called a “Terraced Ribbon” Falls.
They were named for Joseph Benjamin Felker (b. 1880 – d. 1956) who owned the land and waterfalls.
Felker’s Falls are located right in-between the Glendale Golf Club directly to the west, and the Heritage Green Sports Park directly to the east.
I have been looking at golf courses, sporting facilities, and race tracks along the way in this series on the Great Lakes because I believe they were part of the original energy grid as well.
I first made a connection between athletic fields and the Earth’s energy grid after finding several years back that there was a ball-field sandwiched between a star fort called Fort Negley and the railroad yards in Nashville, and since then, I have consistently found ellipses, and the other varied shapes of sporting venues, near railways, and airports as well, and believe them all to have been components of the Earth’s original grid system.
Personally, I have believed for many years now that golf courses are repurposed mound, or earthwork, sites, and are a cover-up of them.
Just carve out the top of a mound, and voila, you have a bunker.
The term “Links” is another name used for golf courses.
I think this name tells us their actual purpose in the Earth’s grid system, perhaps as “links” or “linkages” of the circuitry of electrical and magnetic components.
In the last two parts of this series on Lake Huron and Lake Ontario, I paid particular attention to golf courses, and found them all along the shoreline of Lake Huron like these examples…
…and like this example on both sides of the Niagara River on Lake Ontario.
I have already come to see elliptical tracks as circuitry on the Earth’s electro-magnetic energy grid as a result of my research over the years.
For example, when I investigated elliptical circuitry in past research, I came across elliptical PADS in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs).
PADS are an electrical connection point for components, and most carry current for either signal transfer or heat.
This is an example in Windsor, Ontario, of the Ambassador Golf Course, a former race track, and train tracks located together in the same area.
Between the Ambassador Golf Course and the Ojibway Nature Center of the Provincial Nature Park are two elliptical shapes.
Between the Ojibway Nature Center area and the Black Oak Heritage Park is the Essex Terminal Railway’s Ojibway Yard along Ojibway Parkway.
From what I was able to find, the two elliptical shapes in this location were once the Windsor Raceway and Casino.
Over the years, the Windsor Raceway was used both for standardbred and thoroughbred harness racing, and was in operation between October of 1965 until it closed in August of 2012.
Its facilities were demolished in 2015.
Let’s see what turns up here along these lines in the Hamilton area
The Glendale Golf Course directly to the west of Felker’s Falls was said to have been carved out of the Niagara Escarpment in 1919.
The Heritage Green Sports Park directly to the east of Felker’s Falls has two baseball diamonds, five soccer fields, a field house, splash pad, and playground equipment.
Interesting to note that the Heritage Green Sports Park is located right next to a waste landfill – the GFL Stoney Creek Regional Facility.
Just on the other side of the landfill is Dofasco Park, which has four baseball diamonds, and an elliptical track as well as other sport facilities.
This brings to mind a similar example I found in Windsor, Ontario.
The BP Canada-Windsor Storage Facility is is located next to Mic Mac Park.
It is described as an integrated Liquified Petroleum (LPG) storage facility for propane and butane with nine underground storage caverns in a salt bed 1200- to 1500-feet, or 366- to 457-meters, below the surface, with five brine ponds and there is a pipeline that goes underneath the Detroit River connecting it to Michigan.
Mic Mac Park is one of the largest, if not the largest, park in Windsor, with playground facilities; soccer fields; four baseball diamonds; tennis courts and a swimming pool, and is a popular location for children during the summer months.
Just to the southwest of the Glendale Golf Course and Felker’s Falls, we come to Glendale Falls; Albion Falls; Buttermilk Falls; and the Mohawk Sports Park.
First, Glendale Falls.
Glendale Falls are located in Montgomery Creek in the Red Hill Watershed.
It was considered a terraced waterfall until the construction of the Red Hill Valley Parkway, which resulted in changes to the flow of the waterfall.
It’s height is 10-feet,or 3-meters, and has its strongest flow during seasonal storms and when the winter snow is melting.
The Albion Falls are considered the premiere waterfalls in Hamilton’s east end, flowing down from the Niagara Escarpment in the Red Hill Valley, and they are 62-feet, or 19-meters, -high.
The top of the falls are located on Mountain Brow Road and the lower-end at the south-end of King’s Forest Park, and I will be looking at both of those locations shortly.
The historic Albion Mills was situated on a flat rock shelf halfway down the gorge beside the falls.
It was a combined grist and sawmill that was said to have been established in 1795, and was one of the earliest settlements in the Hamilton area.
The mill was demolished in 1915.
All that remains of the mill is the grindstone, though there are remnants at the site of the mill’s foundations and wheel pit.
The grindstone here brings to mind a place that I found at the tip of the “Thumb” of Michigan near Port Austin called Grind Stone City.
Grind Stone City is an unincorporated community in the eastern end of the Port Austin Township that was established in 1834.
It is the location of the Grind Stone City Historic District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
In our historical narrative, we are told Grind Stone City was notable for a grindstone quarry that was established here sometime around 1833 by Captain Aaron G. Peer, who along with his brother, built a schooner for the Lake Transport business of it, and by 1850, was selling $3,000 worth of grindstones a year.
The Lake Huron Stone Company and Cleveland Stone Company took over all operations in the area after a second quarry was opened.
Buttermilk Falls are located between the Glendale Falls and Albion Falls to the southeast and are directly adjacent to the Mohawk Sports Park to the northwest.
The Buttermilk Falls are also described as a Terraced Ribbon waterfall, and they are about 75-feet, or 23-meters, -high.
They are located near Albion Falls on a tributary of Red Hill Creek,.
Their flow varies, with the most flow after a heavy rain or during the winter snow melt.
The adjacent Mohawk Sports Park is located on what is called the East Mountain of Hamilton, or the eastern part of the Niagara Escarpment.
Mohawk Sports Park has a dedicated track-and-field facility; seven baseball diamonds including the Bennie Arbour Memorial Stadium, home of the Hamilton Cardinals, an Intercounty Baseball League; and an Ice Center.
Next, the land between the Mohawk Sports Park, Albion Falls, and the Glendale Golf and Country Club, is occupied by the Kings Forest Park; Kings Forest Golf Club; The Greenhill Bowl and Rosedale Parks; and a Rail-Trail.
As previously-mentioned, the lower-end of the Albion Falls are at the south-end of Kings Forest Park, and Buttermilk Falls are found here as well, and both accessible on the Mountain Brow trail, which is part of the Bruce Trail system.
Kings Forest Park is described as a large natural area known for its extensive trail system for hiking, biking and wildlife viewing.
The Kings Forest Golf Club was established in 1974 at the foot of the Niagara Escarpment, and is run by the City of Hamilton as a traditional golf course that is open to the general public, and there is a disc golf course here as well.
The Greenhill Bowl Park northeast of the King’s Forest Golf Club is described as a serene and peaceful place with trails for walking or hiking.
Rosedale Park is right next to Greenhill Bowl Park, where there is Rosedale Park Baseball, a community sports facility for all ages to participate in baseball related activities.
There is a landmark on Google Earth marked “Hamilton: the Electric City,” located just to the west of Rosedale Park and Greenhill Bowl Park and just to the north of the King’s Forest Golf Course
The landmark and plaque at this location commemorate Hamilton’s significant history with regards to the long-distance transmission of hydroelectric activity in Canada that I mentioned earlier about the Decew Falls Generating Station No. 1, the oldest continually-running hydrolectric power-generating station in Canada, said to have been built between 1897 and 1898 by the Cataract Power Company to supply power to the electric street railway in Hamilton, to the west of St. Catharines, at a distance of 34-miles, or 55-kilometers, at high voltage using three-phase and high-frequency.
The Escarpment Rail-Trail is a multi-use trail that runs right beside all the places we have been looking at here on an abandoned Canadian National (CN) Line.
Mountain Brow Boulevard, a scenic road along the Niagara Escarpment known for its scenic views, runs alongside, or converges, with the rail-trail.
The trail extends from above the Escarpment near Albion Falls to the lower city, following the CN right-of-way along the escarpment to Wentworth Street South, near the bottom of the Wentworth Stairs.
The trail continues through the lower city to Corktown Park, where it ends.
There were historic Incline Railways that operated on the Niagara Escarpment in Hamilton.
One was the Mount Hamilton Incline Railway, part of the East End Incline Railway, on Wentworth Street, which started operation in 1895 and ended in 1936 for the given reason of bankruptcy.
It was dismantled in 1949, and today the Wentworth Stairs go up the side of the Niagara Escarpment where the historic incline railway was previously.
Another historic incline railway in Hamilton was the Hamilton and Barton, also known as the James Street Incline, first opened in 1892 and operated until 1932, when it was shut down for the given reason of financial losses.
It operated where the James Street Stairs are today, which are accessed at the top of the escarpment in Southam Park, and at the bottom in Freeman Place, which is at the south-end of James Street.
Here is an historic depiction of James Street in Hamilton.
The Kenilworth Stairs, where a route of the East End Incline used to be, have a lower section (the Kimberly Section) that start at Kimberly Drive at the base of Kimberly Avenue in Lower Hamilton, and an upper section (the Margate Section) that begin at Mountain Brow Boulevard at the top of the Escarpment.
Continuing west along the Escarpment, we come to the Dundurn Stairs, and the Chedoke area, which includes the Chedoke Falls, the Chedoke Golf Club and the Chedoke Stairs.
Before we come to the Chedoke area, we come to the Dundurn Stairs, also formerly part of the East End Incline Railway system, that are located between the south-end of Dundurn Street on the bottom, and on the top, at the foot of Garth Street at Beckett Drive.
The incline railway here operated from 1895 to 1936, and it was dismantled in 1949, and replaced by stairs.
Next we come to the Chedoke area, which has several waterfalls; a golf club; and the Chedoke Stairs.
First, the waterfalls, which consist of the Upper, Middle, and Lower Chedoke Falls; the Cliffview Falls; and the Westcliffe Falls.
First, the Upper Chedoke Falls are described as a ribbon waterfall that is 30-feet, or 9-meters,-wide, and 60-feet, or 18-meters, high, located in an urban environment.
Next, the Middle Chedoke Falls are just downstream from the Upper in the same urban environment.
For views of it from the top of the Niagara Escarpment, the trailhead for the Middle Chedoke Falls is in the parking lot for the Chedoke Golf Club, where the Bruce Trail is also accessed.
Other views are available from the Chedoke Radial Trail because access to the base is restricted, even though the restriction is not always adhered to.
Interesting to note what is called “The Fort” in-between the Middle Chedoke Falls and the Dundurn Stairs.
What is referred to as “the Fort” is described as a point of interest or structure within the park system, and said not to specifically be a historical military fortification.
The Lower Chedoke Falls are just to the east of, and very close to, the Middle Chedoke Falls.
From what I could find out in a search, the Lower Chedoke Falls are currently closed because of a severe sewage contamination from Chedoke Creek, with high phosphorus levels and polluted water from the city’s combined sewer system.
Next, the Chedoke Golf Club.
The Chedoke Golf Club consists of two 18-hole public golf courses – the Beddoe and Martin courses.
Golf has been played at these courses since 1896, first as the Hamilton Golf club, and then in 1924, it became the Chedoke Civic Golf Club.
You can get to the Cliffview Falls by way of the trails at the Chedoke Golf Course parking lot on Beddoe Drive.
The Cliffview Falls in the Chedoke area are also described as a “Terraced Ribbon Cascade” at a height of 50-feet, or 15-meters.
The Cliffview Falls flow year-round, and also next to a residential area.
The Westcliffe Falls are close to the Cliffview Falls, and are described as a “Complex Ribbon Cascade,” at a height of 60-feet, or 18-meters, and also flow year-round.
There are other waterfalls in the Chedoke Area, but this gives you the idea.
The Chedoke Stairs are located to the east of these two falls at the foot of Upper Paradise at the top of the Escarpment, and at the bottom can also be accessed at the Chedoke Golf Course parking lot on Beddoe Drive or from the Chedoke Radial Trail, and were also the former location of an East End Incline Railway.
The Chedoke Radial Trail is a pedestrian and bicycle recreational trail that was developed on the former right-of-way of the Brantford and Hamilton Electric Railway.
The Brantford and Hamilton Electric Railway was an interurban railway that operated between Brantford and Hamilton from December 21st of 1907, until June 30th of 1931.
As mentioned earlier in this post, most interurbans were gone by the early 1930s, and they used to be everywhere.
At one time, the Hamilton Radial Electric Railway (HRER) network provided interurban service in the region, but it was short-lived.
Its parent company was the “Dominion Power and Transmission Company,” which formerly had been the Cataract Power Company of Hamilton, Ltd.
The HRER was said to have been constructed starting in March of 1896, and by January 5th of 1929, all its operations had stopped.
In the last part of this series, I looked at the present-day and historic Incline Railways on the Niagara River.
We are told that the first railway in America was an incline railway built in Lewiston, New York, between 1762 and 1764.
It was called Montresor’s Tramway, and said to have been designed and built by British engineers at the close of the French and Indian War (1756 – 1763) to haul goods up the steep slope at the Niagara River near the Niagara escarpment at Lewiston.
No longer in existence, we are told it was located where the Earl W. Brydges Artpark State Park, otherwise known as the “Artpark,” is today.
Lewiston lies half-way between Fort Niagara and Fort George, where the Niagara River meets Lake Ontario, and Niagara Falls, a group of three falls that straddle the international border between the United States and Canada.
It is interesting to note that there is an incline railway that is still operational today at Niagara Falls in Ontario, approximately 5-miles, or 8-kilometers, south of Lewiston on the Niagara River.
The Falls Incline Railway is located next to Horseshoe Falls and links “Table Rock Center” and “Journey Behind the Falls” on the Niagara Parkway with the “Fallsview Tourist Area.”
We are told it was built for the Niagara Parks Commission by the Swiss Company Von Roll, and began operating in October of 1966.
The other historic Incline Railways of the Niagara Falls region between the United States and Canada included:
The Prospect Park Incline Railway at Prospect Park in New York, said to have been built in 1845, and completely removed in 1908 after an accident killed someone.
Then in 1869, the Leander Colt Incline Railway was said to have been built on the Canadian-side of the Falls, near the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge, but damaged and abandoned 20-years later in 1889.
Another Whirlpool Rapids Incline was said to have been built in 1876 near the Leander Colt Incline, but damaged by fire in 1934 and replaced by the “Great Gorge Trip” of the Niagara Belt-Line, a train route around Niagara Falls…
…which later became a rail-trail, the “White Water Walk,” where you can take a leisurely stroll where the Niagara Belt-Line once was.
Lastly, we are told the Clifton Incline was built in 1894 to serve the Canadian-side of the “Maid of the Mist” boat.
It closed in 1976 and reopened in 1977 as the “Maid of the Mist” Incline, and closed again in 1990.
Almost 30-years-later, in 2019, it was re-opened as the Hornblower Niagara Funicular, and operates today for Hornblower Niagara Cruises.
Incline Railways, also known as funiculars, work like an obliquely-angled elevator, in which cables attached to a pulley-system raise- and-lower the cars along the grade.
Two cars are paired at opposite-ends and act as each other’s counterweight. As such, there is not a need for traction between the wheels and rails, and thereby allowing them to scale steep slopes, unlike traditional rail-cars.
Thing is, there used to be a lot more of them than there are now, and incline-railways were a worldwide thing.
It seems like the ones that remain are either tourist attractions, or not removed because they are an important part of a community’s public transportation system.
Next, Dundas and Webster Falls are slightly to the northwest of the Chedoke area.
First, Dundas.
Here some places that can be found in Dundas.
Dundas is a community in Hamilton, and was formerly a town in its own right.
It is at the bottom of the Niagara Escarpment and on the western edge of Lake Ontario.
Known originally as “Coote’s Paradise,” the community that had settled here became known as Dundas in 1814, which was incorporated in 1847.
Its construction said to have been authorized in 1823, the Desjardins Canal opened in 1837, and was said to have greatly contributed to the development of the region, until the canal fell into disuse.
…when the Great Western Railway came through Dundas in 1853.
Its lines remain in use as part of the Canadian National Railway’s network.
The majority of the mainlines remain in use, and the main Niagara Falls – Windsor line is now the Canadian National Railway’s Grimsby Subdivision; Dundas Subdivision; Chatham Subdivision; and Canada Southern Railroad (CASO) Subdivision.
The Desjardins Canal Disaster took place on March 12th of 1857, when a Great Western Railway train crashed through a bridge over the Desjardins Canal, causing the train and its passengers to fall 60-feet, or 18-meters, onto the ice below
Considered one of Canada’s worst railway disasters, 59 people were killed as a result of the train wreck.
The Hamilton and Dundas Street Railway was an interurban railway in operation between 1875 and 1923.
It started as a steam railway between the two cities, using what was called a “steam dummy,” or “dummy engine,” which were steam locomotives enclosed in a wooden box structure made to resemble a passenger car.
Electric service began on January 1st of 1898, but we are told that because of competing bus lines, passenger service dropped by half between 1920 and 1923.
The last runs of the Hamilton and Dundas were on September 5th of 1923, and the very next day, the interurban line was replaced by buses.
Next, Webster’s Falls are located on Spencer Creek in the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area in Dundas on the Niagara Escarpment.
They are described as a 72-foot, or 22-meter, -high classical curtain and plunge waterfall.
Tews Falls is another large waterfall in the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area at 135-feet, or 41-meters, -high, which is the tallest in the Hamilton-area.
There is no access to the bottom of the falls and gorge area, and there are places in the gorge that are closed to the public for the given reason of safety with the slopes and edges of the escarpment being unstable and posing a fall hazard.
The Spencer Gorge Conservation Area was one of Upper Canada’s earliest industrial communities, as water from the Spencer Creek powered mills here.
There are also active and abandoned railroad tracks in the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area.
Next, before I return to the Hamilton-area along the shore of Lake Ontario, I am going to take a look at the area to the southwest of Hamilton, including Brantford and Ohsweken at the Six Nations of the Grand River Reserve, the largest First Nations Reserve in Canada.
First, the John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport is in-between the area I was looking at earlier with Albion and Buttermilk Falls, and the Six Nations of the Grand River reserve.
The John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport, named after a long-time Member of Parliament for the area, is part of the Mount Hope neighborhood.
Cameron Speedway and Amusements is located right next to the airport, and two golf courses, the Willow Valley and Chippewa Creek, are in close vicinity to the airport as well.
The airport first opened in 1940 as Mount Hope Airport, primarily a Royal Canadian Air Force Base during World War II.
After the end of the war, it closed, and was converted to civil use for regional and passenger service, as well as cargo service.
It is the third-largest airport in Canada, after Toronto-Pearson and Vancouver, and the largest overnight express cargo airport in Canada.
I think airports were part of the original energy grid as well.
Right next to the airport, Cameron Speedway and Amusements has a go-kart track, and many other activities like paintball and rock-climbing to name a few.
Similar findings elsewhere, like Windsor International Airport, which has the the Warp Drive Race Park, the Windsor RC Raceway, and the Ford Test Track nearby, as well as the Roseland Golf and Curling Club; the Seven Lakes Golf Club; and the Ambassador Golf Club in relatively close proximity…
…and the Chris Hadfield Airport in Sarnia, which is next to the Hiawatha Horse Park a short distance to the southwest.
I have found countless examples in my past research of airports having racing tracks in angular relationships short distances away, just like these examples, and there’s another one here at this location.
The Ohsweken Speedway is in a linear relationship with the Hamilton Industrial Airport.
The Ohsweken Speedway on the “Six Nations of the Grand River Reserve” is a dirt racing track that hosts Sprint Car and Stock Car racing during the summer season.
I’ve already mentioned my belief that I think golf courses were originally “links” or “linkages” of the circuitry of electrical and magnetic components and that I have come to see elliptical tracks as circuitry on the Earth’s original electromagnetic energy grid as a result of my research over the years.
I think these different types of racing tracks were also originally circuits on the grid.
The sport of racing uses the word “circuit” in the following ways:
The course over which races are run…
…the number of times the racers go around the track…
…and an established itinerary of racing events involving public performance.
Electrical Circuit definitions include:
A closed path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow, and includes devices that give energy to the charged particles the current is comprised of, such as batteries, generators, anddevices that use current, like lamps, electric motors, computers and the connecting wires or transmission lines.
…and an electronic circuit is a complete course of conductors through which current can travel, and provide a path for current to flow.
Ohsweken is the governmental hub of the “Six Nations of the Grand River Reserve” of the Haudenosaunee People.
This is the only place in North America where all six nations of the Haudenosaunee live together, and we are told on land that was granted by the British Crown for allegiance during the American Revolution as compensation for lands lost in New York.
The original land grant was 960,000-acres, or 388,500-hectares, and it has shrunk to the reserve covering 46,000-acres, 18.615-hectares, which is about 5-percent of the original land grant.
The first five nations of the Haudenosaunee, also known as Iroquois Confederacy, were the Seneca, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, and Cayuga.
The Tuscarora were accepted into the Confederacy in 1722, and became known as the “Six Nations.”
The Haudenosaunee are a Confederacy bound by the Great Law of Peace, a constitution that established a representative government and is still in use today.
I mentioned in the last part of this series that approximately 1,000 Seneca live here at the First Nations Reserve in Canada.
The Grand River is the largest river that is entirely within southern Ontario’s boundaries, flowing for 170-miles, or 280-kilometers, south from Wareham, Ontario, to Port Maitland, Ontario, on the north shore of Lake Erie.
Besides the First Nations Reserve, it flows through the cities of Waterloo, Kitchener and Brantford.
There are just a few things I want to bring forward about Brantford that we are told in our historical narrative.
First, the Mohawk Chief Joseph Brant led his people from the Mohawk Valley of New York State to Upper Canada after being allied with the British during the American Revolutionary War after they lost their land-holdings there, and in 1788, a group of 400 Mohawk settled on the Grand River at Mohawk Village, which later became Brantford.
Joseph Brant and his son John Brant are buried at the Mohawk Chapel in Brantford, the oldest Protestant Church in Ontario.
It was said to have been built in 1785 by the British for the Mohawk and Iroquois people and dedicated in 1788 as a reminder of the original agreements made with the British during the American Revolution, and received royal status in 1904 from King Edward VII in memory of the long-standing alliance, and is one of two royal chapels in Canada today.
Next, Alexander Graham Bell lived in Brantford for awhile after his family immigrated to Canada in the 1870 from Scotland when the young adult Bell was suffering from Tuberculosis.
It was while living at the Melville House in Brantford that he was said to have conducted his earliest experiments and invented the telephone, which was first patented in 1876.
The first telephone exchange opened in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1877 and we are told named after Alexander Graham Bell.
Like the previously-mentioned famous landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted, I believe Alexander Graham Bell was also a major player in the reset of history.
Besides being credited with the invention of the telephone and his work with the deaf and deaf-mutes, Bell was also a founder of the National Geographic Society in January of 1888, which we are told begun by an elite club for academics and wealthy patrons for the purpose of “the increase and diffusion of geographical knowledge.”
Similarly, the Smithsonian Institution had been established in August of 1846, and was created by the United States government for the purpose of “the increase and diffusion of knowledge.”
Nicknamed the “Nation’s Attic,” it has an estimated 154-million items in its holdings, across numerous facilities like museums, libraries, and research centers, and is the largest such complex in the world.
The Smithsonian Castle was the first building of the Smithsonian Institution, and said to have been built on the National Mall in Washington, DC, between 1849 and 1855.
It is interesting to note that researchers have long suspected the Smithsonian to have played a role in the cover-up of giants.
Back in the day, giant skeletons were displayed in public places and mentioned in newspaper articles, but all that went away.
Back in Brantford in 2010, only 15-years-ago, a significant block of pre-Confederation buildings said to date from the 1850s to 1910 on the south-side of Colborne Street were demolished, citing structural issues and asbestos, in spite of protests from heritage advocates.
Before I move on from the Grand River, I would like to mention it also has numerous waterfalls along its course, including, but not limited to, the Elora Gorge Falls and the Devil’s Creek Falls, which empties into the Grand River, among the many other waterfalls in the area we have seen on the Niagara Escarpment around Hamilton.
The Elora Gorge is on the western edge of Elora, Ontario, and the Elora Gorge Waterfalls are right on the town itself.
The Elora Gorge Waterfalls are 25-feet, or almost 8-meters, – high.
They are split by what is described as both a rock, and as a small island, known as the “Tooth of Time.”
The “Tooth of Time” was almost dynamited in 1903 but saved by a narrow vote of the Village Council.
The Elora Mill next to the falls is now a 4-Star hotel called the Elora Mill Hotel and Spa.
The original mill at this location was said to have started as a grist mill in the early 1830s, and over the years, served as a distillery and sawmill.
It was operated as the Elora Mill Inn from 1975 until 2010, and reopened as the Elora Mill Hotel and Spa in 2018 under new ownership.
The Grand River runs through what are described as the limestone cliffs of the Elora Gorge, formed by glacial meltwaters from the previous Ice Age.
There is a location called “Hole in the Rock” on the Elora Gorge Trail.
At this location, there is a staircase that goes through what is described as a large hole in a massive boulder.
I was curious to see if there was a rail history here, as I consistently find past and present railroads running through gorges with waterfalls, which I looked at in-depth in this post, “Of Railroads and Waterfalls and Other Physical Infrastructure of the Earth’s Grid System.”
This is what I was able to find out about Elora Gorge.
The rail history in the Elora Gorge area centers on the former Canadian National Railway line that was abandoned and turned into the Elora-Cataract Trailway, a popular rail-trail that preserves the former railroad route through the Elora Gorge.
It runs for 28-miles, or 45-kilometers, from the Elora Quarry Conservation Area to Forks of the Credit Provincial Park in Caledon, Ontario.
Next, I also mentioned the Devil’s Creek Falls on the Grand River.
They occur where Devil’s Creek goes through a narrow notch in the high bedrock cliff that borders the south-side of the Grand River in Cambridge Ontario, right across the river from the Galt Country Club.
Now I am going to head back over to the area of Hamilton along the shore of Lake Ontario, and I am going to look specifically at Dundurn Castle; the Royal Botanical Gardens; Hamilton Beach; the Burlington Canal Main Lighthouse; and Burlington Beach.
First, the Dundurn Castle.
The Dundurn Castle was said to have been built in the Neoclassical Style between 1832 and 1835, and cost $175,000 to build.
The architect credited with building it was Robert Charles Wetherell, and the owner of the property, and the person it was said to have been built for, was Sir Allan Napier MacNab, 1st Baronet, a Canadian political leader, land speculator, and property investory.
The 40-room house had all the amenities of the day, including gas-lighting and running water.
We are told the property was purchased by the City of Hamilton for $50,000 around 1900, and that it cost the city nearly $3-million to renovate the site to make it open to the public, and today it is the Dundurn Castle National Historic Site.
The back-side of the Dundurn Castle…
…looks like the architectural-style of the Montaza Palace in Alexandria, Egypt, on the top left; that of Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the Canary Islands off the coast of Morocco, on the top right; the Bermuda Parliament Building in Hamilton, Bermuda, in the North Atlantic Ocean, on the bottom left; the example of the Arcachonnaise-style in Arcachon Bay in western France, in the bottom center; and a view of old Ouarzazate in Morocco, nicknamed “The Door of the Desert,” and is considered a gateway to the Sahara Desert…
…and like that of several lighthouses I looked at on Lake Huron, like the example of the Forty Mile Point Lighthouse just north of Rogers City, on the east-side of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula.
Its construction was said to have been completed by 1896.
Next, the Royal Botanical Gardens.
The Royal Botanical Gardens are in Burlington, across the west end of Hamilton Harbor on an elevated isthmus known as Burlington Heights from where the Dundurn Castle is located in Hamilton.
York Boulevard and Highway 403 cross the isthmus of Burlington Heights, along with it also being a major rail corridor with significant traffic from CN freight trains, and passenger services like GO Transit and VIA Rail.
An isthmus is defined as a narrow strip of land with water on either side, forming a link between two larger areas of land.
The Thomas B. McQuesten High Level Bridge on York Boulevard was said to have been constructed in 1932, which would have been during the Great Depression which affected Canada as well, to replace an earlier Arch Bridge at this location, and was named after the Minister of Highways, who was also a Hamilton resident.
The High Level Bridge crosses over the Desjardins Canal Railway Bridge that was said to have been built in 1897.
What comprises the Royal Botanical Gardens properties sprawl along Hamilton Harbor in Burlington, including the RBG Cootes Paradise Nature Sanctuary; the Arboretum; Hendrie Park; and the Royal Botanical Garden Centre, the main visitor hub.
The Royal Botanical Gardens here are the largest in Canada, and Thomas B. McQuesten one of its founders, who was also a conservationist.
At almost 1,500-acres, or 600-hectares, the Cootes Paradise Nature Sanctuary is a remnant of the larger Dundas Marsh Crown Game Preserve that was 3,700-acres, or almost 1500-hectares, and established by the Province of Ontario in 1927.
The wetland contains diverse habitats, but is dominated by Spencer Creek, the largest and most significant watershed of Hamilton Harbor, and which we saw earlier in the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area with the Webster’s and Tews Falls.
We are told that the Desjardins Canal was dug through the wetlands between 1826 and 1837 to connect Dundas with shipping on the Great Lakes, and that the canal was later straightened by an excavation through the Burlington Heights in 1851 to accommodate the railway across the eastern end of the Marsh with the natural outflow sealed by a berm supporting the railway.
Here’s the thing.
I have found countless examples where the official narrative tells us that canals and railroads were built through what were wetlands and swamps, and I will go in-depth in the next post on Lake Erie with the example of the Black Swamp in Ohio.
I continue to have serious doubts that railroads were constructed by the people who said they built them when they were said to have been built.
It is my belief that the canals and railroads were already here and that the wetlands and swamps are land that was ruined from the destruction of the original energy grid.
My belief falls along the lines that they were already there and being made serviceable once again after the swamp land was drained and/or reclaimed.
Next, the Arboretum of the Royal Botanical Gardens is a landscape park with a wide variety of trees and woody plants that can be seen up close on walking trails.
The Rasberry House on the Arboretum grounds was said to have been built in 1860 at the location of the Rasberry Family Market Garden and dairy farm, and purchased by the Royal Botanical Gardens in 1960, and has served as the headquarters for the Bruce Trail since 1983.
Hendrie Park is a cultivated garden area, with a rose garden, scented garden, healing garden, vegetable garden, and tea house.
It is connected to the main centre of the Royal Botanical Gardens by tunnel.
The Royal Botanical Gardens Centre has special events and programs, as well as indoor and outdoor displays.
Next, I am going to take a look at the Bayfront Industrial Area and the east end of Hamilton Harbor where Hamilton Beach, the Burlington Canal Main Lighthouse, and Burlington Beach are located.
In great contrast to the Royal Botanical Gardens spread across the north-side of Hamilton Harbor, the Bayfront Industrial Area is spread across the south-side of it and is the city’s largest industrial area.
The “Bayfront” is an almost 4,000-acre, or 1,607-hectare, mixed-industrial area next to some of Hamilton’s oldest neighborhoods.
The Bayfront Industrial Area is home to major steel producers and Canada’s largest Great Lakes Port with marine, rail and road connections.
Next we come to Hamilton Beach, right next to the Bayfront Industrial Area, on the east end of Hamilton Harbor.
Hamilton Beach is a neighborhood on Beach Boulevard.
It is on another narrow piece of land like the isthmus of Burlington Heights.
Beach Boulevard runs parallel to the QEW.
In our historical narrative, on May 24th of 1877, the first “Beach Train” rolled along the strip, the Hamilton and North Western Railway.
Electric Radial Service began on Beach Boulevard in 1905 through the previously-mentioned Hamilton Radial Electric Railway, which was said to have been constructed starting in March of 1896, and by January 5th of 1929, all its operations had stopped.
We are told that in 1903, Mr. H. Knapman formed the Canadian Amusement Company, and opened the Canal Amusement Park, also known as the Burlington Beach Amusement Park, that operated here from 1903 to 1978, with such attractions over the years as boats, swings and slides, a fun house, carousels, ferris wheels, a roller coaster, and pony rides.
Next, the Burlington Main Canal Lighthouse marks the entrance to the Burlington Canal at Lake Ontario, with the current limestone lighthouse said to have been built in 1858 to replace an earlier one that was said to have been built in 1837 and destroyed by fire in 1856.
Here is an historic picture of the Burlington Canal Lighthouse next to the Royal Hamilton Yacht Club, which was said to have been constructed in 1891, and burned-down in 1915.
The Burlington Bay Canal was said to have been opened to the passage of vessels in the early 1820s, but that by 1824, demands were made to the government to build a wider and deeper canal because vessels couldn’t traverse the narrow and shallow channel.
We are told the canal was open to larger vessels by 1830, but that it wasn’t completely finished as planned until 1932.
The Burlington Canal Lift Bridge was said to have been built by the Canadian Government and first opened in 1962, and originally carried two-lanes of traffic and a set of train tracks.
The train tracks were removed from the bridge in 1982 and it was widened to four-lanes.
There is a multi-use path on either side of the canal next to the beach where the old railroad alignment was at one time.
The QEW crosses the Burlington Bay Canal by way of the James N. Allan Skyway, a pair of high-level bridges.
Burlington Beach is just above the canal going along the Lake Ontario shoreline.
Burlington Beach runs from Burlington’s downtown to the lift bridge.
There are power lines running directly above the beach next to the QEW, one of Canada’s busiest highways.
Next, I am going to head over to the Lake Ontario shoreline going to the northeast and take a look at Oakville and Hilton Falls.
First, Oakville.
Oakville is a town and lower-tier municipality, and with a population of 213,759 is the largest town in Ontario.
It was first first settled by British immigrants in 1807 on what was formerly the land of the Mississauga people, which included the southern Ontario region around the eastern end of Lake Erie and the western end of Lake Ontario.
A ship-building business was formed in Oakville on Navy Street at Sixteen Mile Creek that lasted until 1842, though shipbuilding lasted in Oakville until the late 20th-century.
Sixteen-Mile Creek is part of the Glen Abbey Golf Course, one of Canada’s most famous golf courses and also home to Golf Canada and the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame.
The Oakville Golf Club is directly on the other side of Sixteen-Mile Creek from Glen Abbey.
We are told that industries in the early history of Oakville in the 1840s and 1850s, when the population was said to be 1,500, besides ship-bullding, included basket-making, and the making of equipment like threshing machines, wagons, watches and saddles.
The Grand Trunk Railway was said to come through Oakville in 1855, consolidating its role as a crucial stop between Ontario and Hamilton, and by 1869, the town’s population was a whopping 2,000 people.
Larger industries came to town, like the Cities Service Canada oil refinery in 1958, which was acquired by BP Canada in 1963, and later by Petro Canada until it closed permanently in 2005.
There was also a Shell Canada Oil Refinery here.
It was commissioned in 1953 and decommissioned in 1983.
The location of this refinery was said to have been cleaned up and turned into a residential area with parkland.
Oakville became the headquarters of the Ford Motor Company in Canada after World War II, and their major assembly plant opened here in 1953.
Next, Hilton Falls.
Hilton Falls is a 33-foot, or 10-meter, -high waterfall where the Sixteen-Mile Creek that flows over the Niagara Escarpment in the Hilton Falls Conservation Area.
The stone ruins next to the falls are said to be those of an abandoned sawmill.
In the area surrounding Halton Falls, in the upper right of the screenshot, there’s the Greystone Golf Club, which is right next to the Milton Quarry and Halton Regional Forest’s Britton Tract Trailhead,and in the lower left-side of the screenshot are numerous elliptical shapes in the landscape.
Milton Quarry is a stone quarry that is the largest producing quarry in Canada.
First opening in 1962, it is mined for aggregates, which are used for all different kinds of construction.
Next from Oakville, we are moving into the Mississauga area, a major economic hub near Toronto, where I first want to take a look at the Edgemere Promenade; Lakeside Park and the sprawling Industrial area surrounding it; Watersedge Park; the Bradley Museum; and the Rattray Marsh Conservation Area.
The Edgemere Promenade is described as a wide-paved path beside Lake Ontario and an unpaved trail along Wedgewood Creek from the Lake to Lakeshore Road.
It is a popular birding hotspot known for its views of Lake Ontario and peaceful atmosphere, with megalithic blocks visible along the shoreline.
I’ve also been sharing photos of the Great Lakes in this series where it looks like the land has broken off on the shoreline…
…like Canatara Beach and Park on Lake Huron at Sarnia, Ontario.
When I was looking at images of Canatara Beach, these jumped out at me, with a view of what appears to be a solid stone surface visible just below the surface of the water, and an aerial photo of a uniform, but jagged, looking shoreline.
Moving along towards Lakeside Park, I couldn’t help but notice it was surrounded by a very large industrial area.
First, Lakeside Park.
Unlike the Lakeside Park in Port Dalhousie, I can’t find anything about it being a former trolley amusement park.
The Lakeside Park in Mississauga is known for what is described as its unique, red shingle beach.
The area was said to have been settled by United Empire Loyalists beginning in 1808, when it was known as Marigold Point.
We are told the properties slowly switched from agricultural to industrial as Toronto Township was developed.
The origins of the unique beach are described this way.
The Hamilton and Toronto Sewer Pipe Company built a factory in nearby Clarkson in 1955, and for the next 25 years, the factory produced various sizes of baked clay pipes, and the ones which didn’t meet quality standards were piled at the Lake Ontario shore.
Then, buried and forgotten, the embankment slowly eroded, exposing the clay pipes to weather and water.
They broke off and fell into the lake, and were tumbled by the waves until they became small, rounded shingles, mixing with shale from the lake bottom to become the shingle beach.
Lakeside Park is literally surrounded by an industrial use area., including Elite Container Terminals; CRH Canada Group Inc; the Clarkson Wastewater Treatment Plant; National Tank Cleaning Services; Linde Canada Inc CO2 Plant, which is right next to the cricket grounds at Petro Canada Park.
The Elite Container Terminals is a provider of shipping containers for different uses, from office space to sea transport.
The CRH Canada Group Inc. is a construction company in Mississauga.
They provide cement, aggregate, concrete, asphalt or construction needs.
The Clarkson Wastewater Treatment Plant treats sewage and wastewater before returning it to nature.
It serves Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon.
It is important to note that Wastewater Treatment Plants are a major source of things like bioaerosols, which may constitute a health risk for workers and people living in the surrounding area.
Bioaerosols contain different microorganisms that can cause diseases and allergies.
The National Tank Cleaning Services in Mississauga is part of a Canadian Company, with headquarters in Calgary, Alberta, that provides inspection, certifications, repairs, and cleaning services to the bulk transportation industry across Canada and locations in the United States.
The Linde Canada Inc CO2 Plant next to the National Tank Cleaning Service location is location where the Linde Company separates CO2 from off-gas streams that would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere in a process called “carbon capture.”
Once captured, the CO2 is purified and liquified into CO2 processing units that are supplied to a large number of applications from horticulture and welding to carbonated drinks.
The Petro Canada Park is a major cricket pitch as well as a community space that offers other outdoor amenities and recreational activities for all ages.
Petro Canada Lubricants Inc is across the street from these locations, and in-between Lakeside Park and Watersedge Park.
Petro Canada Lubricants Inc is an oil refinery is the only remaining lubricant production facility in Canada, and one of the largest in the world with a yearly capacity of 15,600 barrels per day.
Lubricants, specialty fluids and greases are produced here.
It was purchased from Suncor Energy by the Texas-based HF Sinclair Corporation in 2016.
Next, I am going to look at Watersedge Park, the Bradley Museum, and the Rattray Marsh Conservation Area, which surround the prestigious Rattray Park Estates in Mississauga, a high-end neighborhood.
Watersedge Park is described as a serene and picturesque park, which has a great view of the Toronto waterfront in the distance.
Like what was seen at the Edgemere Promenade, megalithic blocks are visible along the shoreline here as well.
The Meadow Wood Park is located in-between the Watersedge Park and the Bradley Museum, and all three are directly on the other side of the grounds of the Lubricant Refinery.
Meadow Wood Park is the location of three tennis courts maintained by the Meadow Wood Tennis Club, and there is also an ice rink; set-ups for pickle ball, lacrosse, and playground equipment…right next to the storage tank facilities on the neighboring grounds.
The Bradley Museum has a collection of pioneer buildings on the grounds, with the oldest being what is called the Regency Cottage, also known as “the Anchorage,” said to have been built in the early 1820s.
It was used as a private residence by various owners until 1953, until it was sold to the National Sewer Pipe Company, who used it as their offices until 1977.
It was moved to the Bradley Museum in 1978 and restored in 1991.
The Rattray Marsh Conservation Area is on the other side of Rattray Park Estates from the Bradley Museum, and the Meadow Wood and Watersedge Parks, and there is also a Senior public school nearby.
The Rattray Marsh Conservation Area has abundant wildlife and at least one abandoned structure.
There is a large concrete chamber with trees growing out of it speculated to have been constructed as an old pumphouse for fire suppression around 1918 on what was originally the Fudger Estate, which was said to have been constructed between 1918 and 1920 by H. H. Fudger, a local business executive, and was purchased by James H. Rattray in 1945.
This brings to mind what is called a sugar mill in Belize, with this tree growing out of it in the top photo.
It immediately reminded me very much of pictures I have seen of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, with tree and roots and all firmly rooted in ancient temples, like the one shown in the bottom photo.
The Rattray Marsh is on Sheridan Creek, and is called the only marsh left between Toronto and Burlington, with the rest of them having been filled-in.
The Rattray Park Estates is located in-between the parks to the south and the marsh to the north of it, and is an affluent, exclusive residential area, known for large luxury homes on big lots and mature trees.
It is interesting how much prime real estate prized by the elites is on or near ruined land, like there are some places they place an extremely high-value on over everywhere else for a reason we know nothing about.
I explored this subject in-depth in my blog post: “Recovering Lost History from the Estuaries, Pine Barrens & Elite Enclaves off the Atlantic Northeast Coast of the United States.
This includes places like Martha’s Vineyard, an island located south of Cape Cod, and a popular summer colony for the wealthy.
In a study by the Martha’s Vineyard Commission, the Cost-of-Living on the island was found to be 60% higher than the national average, and the cost of housing 96% higher.
Vineyard Haven on Martha’s Vineyard was named the #1 most expensive town in the United States by Lending Tree in 2021.
I am going to move up the Lake Ontario shore from the Rattray Marsh Conservation area and, still in Mississauga, look into the Brueckner Rhododendron Gardens; Port Credit and the Lighthouse and Memorial Park the Mississaugua Golf and Country Club there, and then go up the Credit River and look around the area at Forks of the Credit Provincial Park.
The Brueckner Rhododendron Gardens are one of Canada’s largest public rhododendron gardens.
Many of the rhododendrons were donated by the late Dr. Joseph Brueckner of Mississauga, who was a master rhododendron hybridizer.
It is an 18-acre, or 7-hectare site, with a micro-climate that is favorable to growing rhododendrons, azaleas and other species of trees.
The land between the Rhododendron Gardens and the Port Credit Lighthouse from what I can determine is being developed for the construction of the Brightwater II luxury condominiums.
But from what I can also find out, this land was previously used as an oil refinery by Texaco Canada, and that the location is being remediated from a brownfield site.
A brownfield site is defined as an abandoned or underused property whose expansion, redevelopment or reuse is complicated by the actual or perceived presence of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants.
This is what we are told about the Credit River.
It flows from headwaters above the Niagara Escarpment near Orangeville and Caledon East to empty into Lake Ontario at Port Credit, with its total length being over 930-miles, or 1,500-kilometers.
The Credit River area was the ancestral land of the Mississauga people.
The reservation for the Mississaugas of the Credit is in the same area part of Ontario as the Six Nations of the Grand River, all of which is on the Mississaugas ancestral lands.
The French were said to have established trading posts in the Port Credit area in the 1720s, which were continued by the British.
We are told the Port Credit Harbour Company was formed in 1834 to build the first harbor, attracting settlers and commerce.
The port thrived from the mid-1800s to about 1910 by raising shale from Lake Ontario for Toronto construction in a process known as stonehooking.
Stonehooking involved sailors using long rakes to harvest shale from the shallow lakebed, said to have been used in the construction of Toronto.
After stonehooking declined, commercial fishing and the St. Lawrence Starch Company were an important part of the economy.
The St. Lawrence Starch Company, also known as “the Starch Works,” quickly became the largest employere in the community after it was established in 1890.
It became one of Canada’s largest manufacturers of corn-based starch, glucose and feed products, and it ceased operations in 1990.
We are told the railroad first came through Port Credit in 1855, when the Great Western Railway built the first station here, with many daily stops by the 1860s, and that it was later joined by the Credit Valley Railroad and the Grand Trunk Railway establishing lines and stations here, making Port Credit a key transit point.
An interurban radial line was operated by the Toronto and Mimico Electric Railway and Light Company beginning in 1892 that was extended from Toronto to Port Credit, and it became an attractive place for businesses and people wanting to leave Toronto in the summer months.
This electric streetcar service ended after buses had completely replaced the radial service by the 1930s.
This is a screenshot of where the Credit River meets Lake Ontario at Port Credit.
On the south side of the entrance is JC Saddington Park; on the northside is the Port Credit Harbour Marina, and just a short distance in, the Port Credit Lighthouse and Port Credit Memorial Park.
The JC Saddington Park on one-side of the entrance is a large greenspace that was built on a former landfill.
It offers picnic facilities, barbecues, recreational trails and a playground.
The Port Credit Harbor Marina on the other side is the largest freshwater marina in Canada.
It is noteworthy also for the presence of the Ridgetown Freighter.
The Ridgetown has been a familiar sight at the entrance to the Port Credit Harbor since 1974, where it was sunk as a breakwater.
The Ridgetown started out life as the SS William E. Corey, a steel-hulled propeller-driven Great Lakes Freighter that operated from 1905 to 1963, and as the Ridgetown from 1963 to 1970.
The Port Credit Lighthouse is a working lighthouse that was said to have been built to replace the original one that was destroyed by fire in 1936.
It is considered the most photographed building in Mississauga and home to the Port Credit Business Association.
The Port Credit Memorial Park, on the other side of the Credit River from the lighthouse, has a large pavilion, walkways, plaza space, and an open lawn and is used for many festivals and events.
It also has other amenities, like for skateboarding, ice skating and basketball, as well as a playground.
The focal point of the park is a War Memorial, or Cenotaph, said to have been established in 1925 for World War I soldiers, and later expanded as a memorial for later wars.
I suspect these war memorials and cenotaphs were another way that old world infrastructure was covered up.
A good example of this is the Maryhill Stonehenge in Washington State.
This full-size stonehenge was said to have been commissioned in the early 20th-century by the wealthy entrepreneur Sam Hill, and dedicated on July 4th, 1918, as a memorial to the people who died in World War I.
In addition to having a solstice alignment, it also has a nice alignment going on with the Milky Way.
Next, the Mississaugua Golf and Country Club is just a little ways up the Credit River from the Port Credit Lighthouse and Memorial Park.
It is the host of Canada’s most prestigious championships for both men and women, and has been for over one-hundred years.
Some noteworthy things come up further north on the Credit River around the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park in Caledon, Ontario, like more golf courses, and Lafarge Caledon, another large aggregate quarry.
First, the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park.
The Forks of the Credit Provincial Park in Caledon, Ontario, and part of the Niagara Escarpment biosphere.
It is on several trails, including the Bruce Trail and Trans Canada Trail.
The Credit River runs through the park.
We are told that there have been mills at Cataract Falls on the Credit River.
Cataract Falls are 43-feet, or 13-meters, -high.
We are told that what started out as a saw mill and two grist mills sometime around 1820 was converted into an electrical generating station in 1885 by John Deagle, who dammed the river and created Cataract Lake.
He named the enterprise the Cataract Electric Company Ltd.
Later the station was purchased by Ontario Hydro, but was shut-down in 1947.
We are told the Credit Valley Railway reached the area in 1879 and built a train station at the Forks of the Credit.
The station was demolished in the 1970s.
The train station was located near the highest point of the Niagara Escarpment, and next to a curved wooden trestle spanning the Credit River.
The Canadian Pacific Railway acquired control of the Credit Valley Railway in 1883 through its proxy, the Ontario and Quebec Railway, and the original wooden trestle was eventually replaced but here’s an existing photograph of it notated from around 1890 with a few people standing around on it and no one else in sight.
The Forks of the Credit refers to where the Credit River is joined by smaller tributaries in the gorge in the provincial park.
This brings to mind the “Forks of the Ohio” in Pittsburgh, where the Allegheny River meets the Monogahela River to form the confluence of the Ohio River.
There were two star forts – known to us as Fort Duquesne and Fort Pitt – where there are well-preserved masonry banks on both sides of today’s “Point State Park,” appearing as if these were canals, as seen the bottom right.
Looking just like what we see in Pittsburgh at the Forks of the Ohio, on the top left is a photo of the Monocacy Railroad Junction in Maryland circa 1873, and on the bottom right is a photo of the confluence of the Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers in Des Moines, Iowa, one of countless examples of so-called river confluences that look exactly like this
A junction is defined as a “an act of joining or adjoining things,” implying intentionality as opposed to something that just happens randomly.
An electrical junction is defined as a point or area where multiple conductors or semi-conductors make physical contact.
One more thing to bring forward from earlier in this post is that the Elora-Cataract Trailway, a popular rail-trail that preserves the former railroad route through the Elora Gorge, runs from the Elora Quarry Conservation Area to the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park.
There’s a lot more to find in the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park, but this gives you the idea.
Next, the Lafarge Caledon aggregate quarry is in-between the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park just to the south of it; the Pulpit Club private golf courses just to the east of it; and the TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley public golf courses to the west of it.
The Lafarge Caledon aggregate quarry is a significant source of crushed rock for construction in the Greater Toronto Area.
There is a proposal for a mega-quarry in the area seeking a one-hundred-year license that is facing considerable local opposition.
The Pulpit Club is recognized among Canada’s finest clubs, with two world-class golf courses – the Pulpit and the Paintbrush – and access to other year-round activities on the club’s 477-acre, or 193-hectare, property.
There is a Magnetic Hill adjacent to the Pulpit Club grounds, and both are close to the aggregate quarry.
It is one of those places in the world where one can drive to the bottom of the hill and when the car is put in neutral, it will roll up the hill.
TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley is on the other side of the aggregate quarry and just to the northwest of the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park.
It is one of Canada’s premier destinations for golf, with three of Canada’s top 25 public golf courses – North, Hoot & Heathlands.
It is the host of the 2025 and 2026 RBC (Royal Bank of Canada) Canadian Open on the North Golf Course.
Now I’m going to move up the Lake Ontario shoreline a bit to the Humber Bay area in Etobicoke, and look at the Mimico Cruising Club Lighthouse, and move up the Humber River to the area around the Humber Marshes, the Old Mill Bridge and the Old Mill Toronto Hotel; several golf courses in the surrounding area; as well as the Toronto Pearson Airport and the Downsview Airport.
First, the Mimico Cruising Club Lighthouse and the Etobicoke Yacht Club Lighthouses in West Humber Bay Park.
This is what we are told about them.
These two lighthouses were originally located at the east entrance of Toronto Harbor, and were placed in storage when the east gap of the Toronto Harbor was being widened in 1973.
The abandoned lighthouses were noticed in storage, and moved to Etobicoke via barge in 1981, and were relocated to the west side of Humber Bay Park.
One was relocated to the Mimico Cruising Club and the other to the Etobicoke Yacht Club.
Humber Bay Park consists of two spits of land situated around the mouth of Mimico Creek and divided into Humber Bay Park West and Humber Bay Park East.
The spits of land that the park sits on were said to have been constructed using landfill from local construction projects.
The Mimico Creek Bridge allows for pedestrians to access both east and west sections of the park.
The Crowe’s Beach Resort operated in the Humber Bay Area from the 1870s until it was destroyed by fire in 1912.
The Wimbledon House Hotel first opened in the 1860s near the mouth of the Humber River, and the operation was taken over by Catherine Crowe in 1901.
At one time what became known as Crowe’s Beach, besides the hotel, had a pier with a ferry service; bicycle track; dance hall; carousel; and swing rides.
The Humber River is one of the two major rivers on either side of Toronto, the other being the Don River to the east.
It has 750 tributaries from where it starts north of Toronto at the Humber Springs Ponds in Mono and enters Lake Ontario into Humber Bay.
Humber Bay Park East is on one side of the mouth of the Humber River and Sir Casimir Gzowski Park on the other side, and the Humber Marshes are near the mouth.
The Humber Marshes are an urban wetlands that are one of the few remaining river mouth marshes in Toronto, and are a breeding ground for ducks, turtles, and fish, as well as being a birding hotspot.
Just up the Humber River from the marshes are the Old Mill Toronto Hotel; the Old Mill Bridge and Etienne Brule Park.
The Old Mill Toronto Hotel is a boutique hotel, spa, restaurant and event center in the Kingsway neighborhood of Toronto…
…looking like something straight out of the Elizabethan-era of Shakespeare’s day.
It opened as the Old Mill Tea Garden Restaurant in 1914, the first year of World War I, near the ruins of an old mill complex that stood until 2000.
The Old Mill Bridge crosses the Humber River between the Old Mill Toronto Hotel and the Etienne Brule Park.
It is a three-arch stone bridge that was said to have been designed by local engineer and bridge-builder Frank Barber, and erected in 1916, also during World War I.
It is one of the few bridges on the Humber River designated as a heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act.
Seems like I’ve seen this bridge before.
I’ve seen it as the Burnside Bridge on the U. S. Civil War Antietam National Battlefield near Sharpsburg in Maryland…
…and the River Nith Old Bridge in Dumfries, Scotland.
I’ve seen it in other places as well, but this gives you the idea.
The Etienne Brule Park is named after the first French explorer said to have ventured beyond the St. Lawrence River into Upper Canada, today’s Ontario.
It stretches out along the Humber River starting near the old mill and winds north to the bend in the river around the Baby Point neighborhood.
To the north of the Old Mill location, there are numerous golf courses and country clubs, like the Islington Golf Club; the Lambton Golf & Country Club; St. George’s Golf Club; Scarlett Woods Golf Course; the Weston Golf & Country Club; the Humber Valley Golf Course; and the Oakdale Golf & Country Club.
The Islington Golf Club is a private club in Toronto’s West End.
The 18-hole golf course first opened for play in 1923.
It was said to have been designed by Stanley Thompson, a Canadian golf course architect from Toronto who was credited with having something to do with 178 golf courses, most of which were in Canada, but in the United States, Brazil, Colombia, and Jamaica as well.
The Lambton Golf and Country Club is a private golf and tennis club that was first established by Canadian businessman Albert William Austin in 1902 and officially opened in 1903.
The original clubhouse was also said to have been built between 1902 and 1903, also looking like it came straight out of Elizabethan England.
Its founder Albert William Austin was credit with founding Winnipeg’s first streetcar system in 1882, the horse-drawn Winnipeg Street Railway Company.
The Winnipeg Street Railway Company started to be replaced by the Winnipeg Electric Street Railway Company in 1892, the year which the first electric streetcar ran on Winnipeg’s Main Street on July 26th, and its horse-drawn streetcars were ended by 1894.
All of Winnipeg’s electric streetcar service ended by September of 1955.
The streetcar system was phased out in favor of buses, with the city paving over the old tracks.
It certainly seems to me that after the original energy grid was destroyed, the original streetcars were brought back on-line for public transportion with horse-power until they could be run by electricity until a technology was developed to replace them in the form of cars and buses, at which time all this existing rail technology was in large part made to go away.
St. George’s Golf Club in Toronto has an 18-hole golf course on the banks of the Humber River and was first established in 1929.
It has hosted the Canadian Open numerous times; has been rated as one of the top three golf courses in Canada several times, and rated amongst the top 100 golf courses in the world as well.
The Scarlett Woods Golf Course is a public golf course owned by the City of Toronto on the Humber River.
It features an 18-hole golf course and a disc golf course.
The Weston Golf and Country Club is a private club that has a golf course that was said to have been designed by Willie Park Jr. and first opened in 1915.
It is spanned by a railway bridge on the east-side of the Humber River said to have been built by the Grand Trunk Railway in 1850.
Willie Park Jr. was a professional golfer from Musselburgh, Scotland, who was said to be one of the world’s best golf course architects with a worldwide business.
The Musselburgh Links in his hometown was one of the main golf centers of his day and one of the oldest golf courses in the world.
Also known as the “Old Golf Course,” it is either the oldest golf course in the world, or the second oldest after St. Andrews in Scotland, according to Guiness Book of World Records.
Interestingly the Musselburgh Links look like they are contained within a circuit-shape.
The Humber Valley Golf Course is another public municipal golf course on the Humber River, also said to have been designed by the previously mentioned Stanley Thompson, the famous golf course architect credited with the Islington Golf Club.
The Oakdale Golf & Country Club is a private golf and tennis club established in 1926.
It is a 27-hole golf course said to have been designed primarily by Stanley Thompson.
The 2023 Canadian Open was held here.
Several of these golf courses are directly in-between the Toronto Pearson International Airport and the now-closed Downsview Airport.
The Toronto Pearson International Airport is the main airport for serving Toronto and the surrounding region known as the Golden Horseshoe.
It is Canada’s largest and busiest airport, and the primary global hub for Air Canada.
The Golden Horseshoe region is the most densely-populated, and most industrialized, in Canada, accounting for over 20% of Canada’s population, and over half of Ontario’s population.
Just like I have been showing with previous examples in this post, the Woodbine Racetrack is a short-distance northeast of the Toronto Pearson International Airport, in a straight-line distance of 3-miles, or 4.5-kilometers.
The Woodbine Racetrack is a Thoroughbred horse-racing venue and casino and hosts the King’s Plate, the first race in the Canadian Triple Crown.
The King’s Plate is Canada’s oldest Thoroughbred horse race and the oldest continuously run race in North America, having started in 1860.
Depending on who the monarch is, it is known either as the Queen’s Plate or the King’s Plate, and it started during the reign of Queen Victoria.
The Winning Purse is CDN $1,000,000.
To show you how common this was, in a different part of the world, the same linear relationship exists between the Sydney International Airport and the Royal Randwick Racecourse, with the distance between them being 3.41-miles, or 5.48-kilometers.
The Royal Randwick Racecourse is a horse-racing track on Crown Land, a territorial area belonging to the British monarch, that is leased to the Australian Turf Club.
The first race at Randwick was held in 1833, and in the present-day is the host of racing championships with millions of dollars in prize-money.
Wouldn’t it stand to reason that those behind the reset when setting up the New World would take advantage of the super science of the different types of circuits in the Earth’s grid system in order to harness their inherent power to enhance performance at sporting events, to make lots of money at highly-charged, prestigious gaming and betting venues?
The now-closed Downsview Airport was further east of the Toronto Pearson International Airport.
It started out as an airfield for de Havilland Canada, the Canadian Division of the British aerospace company, for testing aircraft at the site manufacturing plant.
It was expanded as a military installation during World War II by the Royal Canadian Air Force, and closed down as CFB Toronto in April of 1996.
From 1994 to 2018, the airfield was a testing facility for Bombardier Aerospace.
In 2018, Bombardier sold it to Northcrest Developments, who have plans to redevelop the land into commercial and residential properties.
There are a number of tracks close by the Downsview Airport in a linear relationship as well.
Downsview Airport has the track at the Gaelic Athletic Association location of the Toronto Gaels Football Club directly to the east of it, and K1 Speed Toronto Indoor Go-Kart Racing; Athletic Fields including a track; and Downsview Park directly to the west of it.
Downsview Park is a large urban park that was first home to de Havilland Canada, and airplane manufacturer, and also the Canadian Air Force Base.
And there are three more golf courses directly to the east of the Downsview area.
Now I’m going to drop down to the Toronto Waterfront and have a look around.
I’m going to start with the Gibraltar Point and Toronto Harbour Lighthouses; the Centreville Amusement Park and the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport on the Toronto Islands.
First, the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse.
The Gibraltar Point Lighthouse is located on Hanlan’s Point, on Hanlan’s Island, the most westerly of the Toronto Islands.
The Toronto Islands are a chain of 15 small islands off of mainland Toronto.
The Gibraltar Point Lighthouse is said to be the oldest existing lighthouse on the Great Lakes and one of the oldest buildings in Toronto, with construction started in 1808 and first lit in 1809.
Decommissioned in 1956, it is still unused, though occasionally open for public tours, including on the Doors Open Toronto weekend.
Doors Open Toronto is an annual free, citywide event where roughly 150 buildings with architectural, historic, social, or cultural significance to Toronto open their doors to the public.
Next, the Toronto Harbour Lighthouse.
It is an automated lighthouse on Vicki Keith Point on the Leslie Street Spit, and we are told completed in 1974 to direct shipping along the Eastern channel into the Toronto Inner Harbour.
This lighthouse replaced the two lighthouses were saw earlier in the Humber Park West that were once the inner and outer pier lighthouses on the east side of the Eastern Gap.
With regards to the Leslie Street Spit, this is what we are told.
The Toronto Harbour Commission started construction of a peninsula in 1959 to create an Outer Harbour, anticipating a boom in shipping with the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway, which officially opened on June 26th of 1959.
Millions of tons of fill were dumped into Lake Ontario to create a 3-mile, or 5-kilometer, – long barrier that eventually became known as the Leslie Street Spit.
By the early 1970s, it became clear that this outer harbour was not necessary for port-related activities, so other uses were considered.
It ultimately became an urban wilderness area named Tommy Thompson Park in 1985, after the former Parks Commissioner.
Access to the park is only on weekends because there is still active filling going on at the inner portion of the spit.
Next, the Centreville Amusement Park is a children’s amusement park on the Centre Island of the Toronto Islands.
The Centreville Amusement Park has been operated by the Beasley family since 1967.
Open during the summer season, the park’s buildings have a 1900s turn-of-the-century village theme, and rides including a miniature train, carousel, and ferris wheel among others.
What is described as the antique ferris wheel there is notable for looking like a windmill.
The Centreville Amusement Park replaced the Sunnyside Amusement Park which closed in 1955, as well as the Hanlan’s Point Amusement Park, which closed in the 1930s.
The Sunnyside Amusement Park operated from 1922 to 1955 on the Lake Ontario Waterfront at the foot of Roncesvalles Avenue, west of downtown Toronto.
It had attractions like a large roller coaster; several carousels, and an enormous bathing pavilion.
Sunnyside Amusement Park was demolished in 1955 to make room for the Metro Toronto Gardiner Expressway.
Hanlan’s Point Amusement Park was located on Hanlan’s Island, and was considered Canada’s answer to Coney Island in New York City.
It operated from the 1880s until the 1930s, and in its heyday, was one of Toronto’s major attractions, with a roller coaster, miniature train, midway, grandstand, a vaudeville theater, and other attractions.
We are told that what was left of the park was demolished in 1937 to make room for the Toronto City Airport.
The Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, also known as the Toronto Islands Airport, is named after the Canadian World War I flying ace and World War II Air Marshall.
We are told its construction was completed by 1939, which was the beginning of World War II, and that it had originally been conceived of as Toronto’s main airport, but that distinction ended up going to the Toronto Pearson International Airport.
The Billy Bishop Airport is used by civil aviation, regional airlines using turbo-prop airplanes, and air ambulances, and in 2022, was ranked as Canada’s 9th-busiest airport.
Important to note that the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport on Toronto Island has a track located northeast of it in a linear alignment that crosses through the real estate containing the Union Station, CN Tower, Rogers Center, and Roundhouse Park and downtown Toronto, and more on this part of Toronto to come shortly.
Before I go there, I would like to look at the area on the mainland just above the Toronto Islands, and then head in an easterly direction towards the places I mentioned.
I’m going to first look at the Canadian National Exhibition; the Princes’ Gates; Coronation Park; the Queen’s Wharf Lighthouse; the Fort York Armory; and Fort York.
First, the Canadian National Exhibition.
The Canadian National Exhibition is an annual agricultural and provincial fair that takes place every year starting on the 3rd Friday of August and leading up to and including Labor Day, the first Monday in September.
It is Canada’s largest annual community event with approximately 1.6-million visitors each year and one of the top fairs in North America.
We are told it started out as the Toronto Industrial Exhibition in 1879, which promoted agriculture and technology in the Toronto area.
We are also told the historical location of Fort Rouille was here, an 18th-century French trading post, and that it is marked by a monument on the Exhibition grounds.
The Princes’ Gates is the name given to a triumphal arch and monumental gateway at Exhibition Place and the eastern gateway of the Canadian National Exhibition.
The triumphal arch is flanked by colonnades on each side, and is altogether 350-feet, or 110-meters, -long.
It was said to have been constructed out of cement and stone between April and August of 1927, only taking four months to complete.
The structure was officially opened by Edward, Prince of Wales, and Prince George on August 30th of 1927, to coincide with the 60th Anniversary of Canadian Confederation.
Coronation Park was said to have been built in 1937 to mark the coronation of King George VI and his wife Queen Elizabeth.
We are told that it was constructed on a landfill site during the Great Depression by relief workers starting in the spring of 1935, and that the landfill was created from the dredging of Toronto Harbour to keep it at navigation depth, which was regularly done by the Toronto Harbour Commission.
This particular landfill that the park was built on was in exchange for the municipal government of Toronto paying for navigation improvements.
According the official narrative, one of the park construction project’s objectives was to provide work for unemployed workers on welfare, as Toronto was suffering through the Great Depression at the time.
The park was completed in time for the planting of trees on May 12th of 1937, the day of the royal coronation.
Coronation Park is described as a living veterans’ memorial, with groves of trees dedicated to Canadian military service, especially from World War I.
The Victory-Peace Monument at the park was erected in 1995, the 50th-Anniversary of the end of World War II.
The park has three baseball diamonds, which are used during the Canadian National Exhibition for the Lions’ Club Pee-Wee Tournament for youth players.
The next place is the Queen’s Wharf Lighthouse.
It is situated at Fleet Street just east of the Princes’ Gates at Exhibition Place, just north of Coronation Park, and just southeast of the Fort York Armory.
The Queen’s Wharf Lighthouse is octagonal and said to be originally one of a pair of lighthouses built in 1861 at the Queen’s Wharf, replacing an earlier lighthouse that was said to have been built in 1838.
It is a wooden lighthouse, and along with the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse, said to be the only two surviving 19th-century lighthouses in Toronto.
It is noteworthy that the Queen’s Wharf Lighthouse is contained within a small Toronto Transit Commission streetcar loop.
The Fleet Loop is a turning loop encircling the lighthouse used by two Toronto streetcars routes, the 509 Harbourfront and the 511 Bathurst, and connects to the Exhibition Loop.
I am seeing and saying all of this infrastructure was originally part of the original free-energy grid system that was worldwide.
The nearby Fort York Armory is interesting, and also houses the Queen’s York Rangers Museum.
The Armory is cut-off from Fort York by the Gardiner Expressway…
…but you can get to the Old Fort from here, between the pair of old stonemasonry arches at this entrance with a road connecting the two places that goes underneath the Expressway.
We are told the Armory was built with private funds in 1933, and has the largest lattice wood arched roof in Canada.
There is some interesting window action going on here at the Armory.
At the east-end of the building, there is uneven ground and windows at ground-level.
Most of the the front of the Armory…
…and the west-side of the building appears the same.
…but the east-side of the building appears to show a whole floor underneath.
We could call that a basement, right?
Well, but it was planned this way, it was sure sloppily done, like what is seen here in the front corner with regard to the ground-level windows, especially for the building with the stunning perfection shown in the largest lattice wood-arched roof in Canada.
Next stop, Fort York.
What we see at Fort York was said to have been built between 1813 and 1815 to house soldiers of the British Army and Canadian Militia and to defend the entrance of Toronto Harbor…
…and made of stone-lined earthwork walls, and eight buildings within the walls.
Fort York is located just a short distance to the west of the real estate with Rogers Center, Roundhouse Park, the CN Tower; railroad yards; and Union Station.
The Rogers Center is the home of Major League Baseball’s Toronto Blue Jays, as well as a large-event venue.
Roundhouse Park next Rogers Centre and the CN Tower was the location of the John Street Roundhouse, said to have been built in 1929 to maintain Canadian Pacific Railway trains during the Golden Age of Railways, where maintenance teams worked on as many as 32 trains at a time.
The Roundhouse is the last such building in Toronto, and survived the demolition of other railway facilities nearby that took place to make room for the new stadium, the Rogers Center, which opened in June of 1989.
The CN, or Canadian National, Tower is 1,815-feet, or 553-meters, high, a communications and observation tower located on what is known as Railway Lands, a large railway switching yard on the Toronto Waterfront, and said to have been completed in 1976.
Toronto’s Union Station is just to the east of the CN Tower in the Railway Lands.
The Union Station in Toronto was said to have been constructed in the Beaux-Arts-style in 1927, and is considered Canada’s largest and most opulent railway station.
The Toronto Union Station reminds me of the original Pennsylvania Station in New York City, which was said to have been built between 1904 and 1910 and demolished between 1963 and 1968.
Further east of here, the RC Harris Water Treatment Plant is roughly in alignment with these places.
The RC Harris Water Treatment Plant was said to have been constructed starting in 1932, and the building became operational on November 1st of 1941 (during World War II, and a little over a month before the bombing of Pearl Harbor).
It was named after the long-time Commissioner of Toronto’s Public Works, RC Harris, who was credited with overseeing the construction project.
Based on past research on star forts, I am going to postulate that the original purpose of the RC Harris complex was a star fort.
Here’s why I think that.
First, star forts had many different shapes.
Most have pointed bastions, but some have round bastions, or a different shape altogether, and where I find one star fort, there is at least one more in the vicinity to be found.
Here is the example in Puebla, Mexico, of Fort Guadalupe with pointed bastions, and Fort Loreto with round bastions.
This is a photo of one of the round bastions at the RC Harris Water Treatment Plant, and cut-and-shaped stone blocks with straight edges in the foreground.
We are not given any other explanation in our historical narrative, so we typically don’t ask questions about how they got this way.
Like the buildings of Fort York, the RC Harris Water Treatment Plant is built on top of earthworks…
…and the brick-masonry here is massive, sophisticated and intricate.
It is definitely quite impressive on the inside as well!
This megalithic stone wall runs parallel to Queen Street at the front-boundary of the complex…
…with the Neville Street Loop for the Queen Street streetcar line, the eastern terminus of Toronto’s longest streetcar route, just off the northwest corner of the RC Harris complex.
Here is the geographic relationship of the locations of Fort York, Fort Rouille and the RC Harris Water Treatment Plant.
I think what has come to be known as star forts, which I have consistently found tracking long-distance alignments around the world, were batteries on the original energy grid.
Many were actually called “batteries,” like the “Battery Weed” of Fort Wadsworth on the Staten Island Side of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, with its four-tiered Battery Weed, is located at what is called The Narrows between the Lower and Upper New York Bays.
Fort Hamilton is on the Brooklyn-side of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
One definition of a battery is that it is a device that produces electricity that may have several primary or secondary cells arranged in parallel or series, as well as a battery source of energy which provides a push, or a voltage, of energy to get the current flowing in a circuit.
I think that these star forts, and other infrastructure I have shared with you that don’t feature the classic look of a star fort, functioned as circuitry and batteries for the purpose of producing electricity and/or some form of free energy to power theworldwide grid system and the advanced civilization, and that this is the reason there are so many star forts that are paired together, or even the reason clusters of them are found in the same location.
The next place we come to from Toronto going east along the Lake Ontario shoreline is Oshawa, where we find places like the Oshawa Executive Airport; the Oshawa Airport Golf Club; the Oshawa Golf and Curling Club; Alexandra Park; Ajax Downs Racetrack and Casino; and the Oshawa Second Marsh.
First, a little bit about Oshawa.
Oshawa is 37-miles, or 60-kilometers, east of downtown Toronto, and commonly viewed as the eastern anchor of the Greater Toronto area and the Golden Horseshoe.
The General Motors of Canada’s headquarters are located in Oshawa, where in 1867, Robert McLaughlin established the McLaughlin Carriage Company here for the manufacture of sleighs and buggies, and then his son Samuel carried it on with motor cars the McLaughlin Motors Ltd, and then it became “General Motors of Canada” in 1918 when GM acquired McLaughlin’s company and became part of its global operations.
Oshawa was once recognized as the “Automotive Capital of Canada,” and while General Motors still plays a role in the city’s economy, it is now considered to be an important education and health sciences hub.
Samuel McLaughlin’s lavish home in Oshawa, Parkwood Estate, is a National Historic Site of Canada.
It was the home of the McLaughlin family from 1917 until 1972, with its construction said to have started in 1916 under the direction of the Toronto architecture firm of Darling and Pearson, which would have been in the middle of World War I.
Next, the Oshawa Executive Airport is a municipal airport on the north end of Oshawa.
It is the busiest general aviation airport in the Greater Toronto Area without scheduled service, and one of the busiest general aviation only airports in Canada.
It first opened in 1941 as a flight training school by the Royal Canadian Air Force.
The adjacent Oshawa Airport Golf Club is an executive 18-hole golf course that is considered one of the best in the area for its excellent condition and undulating greens.
The Oshawa Golf and Curling Club and Alexandra Park are just a short distance southeast of the Oshawa Executive Airport and Golf Club.
The Oshawa Golf and Curling Club is among the oldest in Canada, starting from the time we are told it was initially laid out in 1906 by Robert and Thomas Henderson, who were also from Musselburgh, Scotland, like the previously seen Willie Park, Jr, who was credited with the design of the Weston Golf and Country Club near the Toronto Pearson International Airport.
There are also curling rinks and pickleball facilities here.
Alexandra Park is directly adjacent to the Oshawa Country Club.
We are told that Alexandra Park was established by local authorities in 1906 in order to provide a secure location for sports and recreation, a fairground and general town park.
The first big event held here in 1906 was the first Oshawa Fair, only a few weeks after the park was acquired.
Both the baseball and lacrosse teams won their first games in the brand new park, and it was expressed that they were the best athletic grounds of any city or town in the province.
Alexandra Park even had a historic speedway here.
It was a 1/2-mile, or almost 1-kilometer, dirt oval that was in operation from 1946 to 1952 for car and motorcycle racing.
The grandstand that was once here burned down in 1959.
The park still has numerous recreational opportunities for people of all ages to enjoy, including tennis courts, a sports field and four baseball diamonds.
The Ajax Downs Racetrack and Casino is located 6-miles, or 10-kilometers, southwest of the Oshawa Executive Airport.
The facility is a combined entertainment venue featuring live Quarter Horse racing May through October, and a casino that is open 24/7, with over 800 slot machines and electronic table games.
It is the only track in Ontario which offers live Quarter Horse Racing, which are high-speed sprints over a quarter-mile distance.
The Oshawa Second Marsh is a 339-acre, or 137-hectare, wetland in southern Oshawa where the Harmony and Farewell Creeks enter the shore of Lake Ontario.
It is designated as a provincially-significant wetland, Area of Natural and Scientific Interest, and a Heritage property.
The Second Marsh Wildlife Area is surrounded by things like Oshawa Harbour directly to the west; the Harmony Creek Golf Centre to the north; the headquarter for Ontario Power Generation to the east, and railroad tracks running through the area near the Second Marsh.
Oshawa Harbour is considered a vital commercial port that handles large volumes of salt, steel, asphalt, grain and other commodities serving as the region’s gateway to world markets via the St. Lawrence Seaway.
The Harmony Creek Golf Centre is a public 18-hole golf course that features ponds, creeks, bridges, mature trees, sandtraps and a putting green.
It was established in 1992.
With over 800 golf courses, the Province of Ontario is Canada’s golfing hotspot by sheer volume, and has significantly more golf courses than any other province.
Next, the new Ontario Power Generation (OPG) Headquarters was formerly the GM Canada Headquarters, and was purchased by OPG early in 2023.
Full occupancy was expected by the end of 2025.
It brings together employees from various Greater Toronto Area locations, creating a central hub for over 2,000 corporate staff.
The main railway near the OPG Headquarters is the Canadian National Railway with passenger and freight services and was originally the Grand Trunk Railway which the Canadian National Railway absorbed.
The next places we come to going up the Lake Ontario shore is the municipality of Bowmanville, the St. Mary’s Cement Plant, Port Darlington and the Port Darlington Lighthouse.
First, Bowmanville.
Bowmanville was first incorporated as a town in 1858, but was later incorporated along with the neighboring townships of Clarke and Darlington into the Town of Newcastle in 1974, which was renamed the Municipality of Clarington in 1994.
We are told settlers were attracted to the area for farming and creeks for mills, and the land which became Bowmanville was first settled by John Burk and his family.
John Burk was born in 1754 to Irish immigrants and was a Loyalist who moved from America after the American Revolutionary War to the largely unsettled Upper Canada in 1794.
Known at one time as Darlington Mills, saw-mills and grist-mills were built in Bowmanville.
The historic Vanstone Mill in Bowmanville, said to have been initially constructed in 1820, still stands today as a shopping center at the intersection of King Street and Scucog Street.
Another one, the Cream of Barley Mill, is the Bowmanville Visual Arts Centre these days.
The former Darlington Mills was incorporated as Bowmanville in 1858, named after Charles Bowman, an early businessman of the area.
By 1866, Bowmanville had a population of 3,500, and a station on the Grand Trunk Railway, and had become a prosperous and growing town that had established itself as a moderate player in things like shipping, rail transport, and metal works.
There is a harbor to the south of Bowmanville in Port Darlington.
The port played a role in trade and transportation in the late 1800s, contributing to the economic development of the region.
Today it is a recreational and residential community on the shore of Lake Ontario.
The Port Darlington Lighthouse today is apparently different from the one that was here historically.
This is a historic picture of the one that was here before in the background that is the only one available to find of it, and was said to have been built sometime around 1870.
The Bowmanville Docks are to the west of the Port Darlington Lighthouse.
They are the docks for the St. Mary’s Cement Plant.
This is one of the major plants of St. Mary’s Cement, a major supplier in the Great Lakes Region, and is owned by the Brazilian cement company Votorantim Cimentos, a global building materials company.
The Darlington area terminal connects to their integrated network for distribution of bulk cement via marine vessels, trucks and rail.
When I was looking around for information on the St. Mary’s Cement Plant, I came across the Darlington Nuclear Station right next to it.
The Darlington Nuclear Station is a large nuclear facility with four nuclear reactors, and when operating at full capacity, can provide about 20% of Ontario’s electricity needs, enough to serve a city of 2-million people.
This is the third nuclear power station I have come across on my research of the Great Lakes.
I have also come across the Nine-Mile Point Nuclear Station in the town of Scriba up the Lake Ontario shore from Oswego in New York, and the Bruce Power Nuclear Plant near Kincardine on the Ontario-side of Lake Huron.
Interesting to find nuclear power plants right on the edge of water, and brings to mind my consistent research findings of nuclear plants in odd locations, including wetlands.
I tend to think nuclear energy was a pre-existing technology too, like everything else I have been talking about that we have always been told came about in modern times.
Just a little ways to the north of Bowmanville, there’s another large aggregate quarry operated by Amrize, and the Canadian Tire Motorsports Complex.
Amrize is a North American Company that offers a broad range of services for construction projects.
The Canadian Tire Motorsports Complex is a multi-track motorsports venue.
It features a 10-turn road course; an advance driver and race driver training facility; and a kart track.
It was said to have been designed and built in the late 1950s, and the second purpose-built race course in Canada, after the Westwood Motorsport Park in British Columbia.
Next, I am going to look at several places east of the Bowmanville and Port Darlington area, including Port Hope, Cobourg, the Presqui’ile Provincial Park, and Trenton.
At Trenton, I am going to look at the Trenton-Severn Waterway and the Kawartha Lakes Region north of here.
First, Port Hope and Cobourg.
Port Hope is almost at the midway point between Toronto and Kingston, and located at the mouth of the Ganaraska River.
Port Hope’s downtown is celebrated as Ontario’s best-preserved 19th-century streetscape.
With over 270 heritage-designated buildings, it has Canada’s highest per capita rate of preservation of any city or town.
Long a manufacturing and regional commercial center, Port Hope today remains a center for uranium refining and the manufacture of tools, machinery, plastics and rubber.
Port Hope is also known for having the largest volume of historic low-level radioactive waste in Canada.
The waste was created by the Eldorado Mining and Refining Ltd.
During World War II, the Eldorado Plant produced uranium oxides, which the United States reportedly used in the Manhattan Project.
Under the ownership of Cameco, the oldest uranium refinery in the world continues to produce uranium fuel for nuclear power plants.
The Cameco Corporation uranium refinery is on the lakefront at Point A, and the Cameco distribution center is just to the east at Point B.
Both places are near the railroad line, which is also close to the Port Hope Golf & Country Club.
A large amount of contaminated soil was removed from beachfront areas in 2002.
More recently, testing of over 5,000 properties began, with a plan to remove and store contaminated soil as landfill.
Over $1-million is expected to be spent on the soil remediation project, the largest clean-up of its kind in Canadian history.
Cobourg was said to have been founded in 1798 by United Empire Loyalists -those American Loyalists who resettled to British North America after the Revolutionary War.
The town that formed here was eventually named “Cobourg” in 1819 in recognition of the marriage of Princess Charlotte of Wales to Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (later Saxe-Coburg & Gotha).
Leopold was the youngest son of Duke Francis of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld.
Duke Francis was born on July 15th of 1750, and he was the progenitor of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha line, which seeded the lineage of the new royals of Europe after the original royal houses were taken down by revolution and marriage.
Leopold had strong ties to Great Britain as he had moved there and married Princess Charlotte of Wales in 1816, second-in-line to the British throne after her father the Prince-Regent, who became King George IV.
She is recorded as having died after delivering a stillborn child a year after they were married, leaving King George IV without any legitimate grandchildren.
King George III’s son, the Prince-Regent George’s brother, Prince Edward, ended-up proposing to Leopold’s older sister Victoria, of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, who were the parents of the future Queen Victoria.
Leopold became the first King of the Belgians in 1831.
Victoria, the daughter of Prince Edward of Great Britain, and Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, the daughter of Duke Francis, became the new Queen of England at the age of 18 on June 20th of 1837.
Her father Prince Edward, and grandfather, King George III, died within six-days of each other in 1820, and there was no other surviving legitimate issue to claim the throne after King George IV died in June of 1837.
Queen Victoria’s reign for almost 64-years, until her death on January 22nd of 1901.
She was considered the last monarch of the House of Hanover through her father Prince Edward.
Her reign was characterized as a period of cultural, industrial, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom, and marked by a great expansion of the British Empire.
Queen Victoria married her first-cousin, Prince Albert, the grandson of Duke Francis through his father Duke Ernest I, on February 10th of 1840.
Prince Albert was an important political advisor to his wife, and became the dominant influential figure in the first half of their lives together.
On July 17th of 1917, during the reign of King George V, the name of the Royal House was changed to Windsor from Saxe-Coburg & Gotha, supposedly due to anti-German sentiment generated by World War I.
On July 1st of 1837, a little over a week after Queen Victoria’s coronation, Cobourg was officially incorporated as a town.
In 1841, the name of the Wesleyan Conference of Bishops Upper Canada Academy was changed to Victoria College, and in 1842, it was granted power to confer degrees.
In 1892, Victoria College was moved to Toronto and federated with the University of Toronto as Victoria University.
The next places we come to east of Cobourg are the locations of the Presqu’ile Provincial park and Lighthouse; and the Brighton area.
The Presqu’ile Provincial Park is on almost 4-square-miles, or almost 10-square-kilometers, on a peninsula of land.
The park is on what is called a “tombolo,” where a limestone island is connected to the mainland by a sand spit.
The park’s wetlands are among the larger wetlands on the north shore of Lake Ontario, with many sand ridges and dunes running through them.
The Marsh Boardwalk Trail is one of the most popular trails at the park.
There is an old forest here as well.
The Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse was said to have been constructed in 1840 by Nicol Hugh Baird, who was also credited with designing parts of the Trent-Severn Waterway and the Rideau Canal, both of which we’ll be coming to shortly.
Next, the Brighton area.
Now permanently closed, what was the former Grand Trunk Railway Station in Brighton became the Memory Junction Railway Museum, which housed a collection of railway memoribilia in southeastern Ontario.
It closed in 2017, and in 2021, its extensive collection of trains and railway artifacts was sold off.
Brighton is on the Toronto-Montreal mainlines of both the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways, which run side-by-side through the town.
At one time, there was a third railway here, the Canadian Northern Railway, which connected Brighton with Trenton.
We are told Brighton’s rail history dates from the October 27th, 1856, opening of the Grand Trunk Line from Montreal to Toronto.
Brighton is home to the annual Applefest, which promotes the town and its apple-based culture.
Brighton is surrounded by rich agricultural land with an abundance of apple orchards.
The Brighton Speedway Park is east of town, near the Brighton Road Swing Bridge and the west end of the Murray Canal on Presqu’ile Bay.
The Brighton Speedway Park is a clay stock-racing oval that hosts races on Saturday nights through the summer months.
Next, the Brighton Road Swing Bridge spans the Murray Canal on County Road 64.
We are told the original 1947 steel truss bridge at this location…
…was determined in need of replacement due to age and condition, and a new bridge-crossing opened in the winter of 2018 – 2019.
There is another swing-bridge across the Murray Canal – the Carrying Place Swing Bridge on County Road 33.
Not clear when this bridge was said to have been built or by whom as there is no date or builder given for its construction.
There is a smaller abandoned railway swing bridge historically on the Murray Canal a short-distance west of the Carrying Place Swing Bridge.
It is on the Millenium Trail.
The Millenium Trail is a 30-mile, or 48-kilometer, -long recreational rail-trail that follows an old railway line from Consecon to Picton.
The Murray Canal runs for 5-miles, or 8-kilometers, from the western end of the Bay of Quinte to the eastern end of Presqu’ile Bay, which connects to Lake Ontario.
It has a maximum depth of 9-feet, or 2.7-meters.
The Murray Canal was said to have been constructed between 1882 and 1889.
Though the Murray Canal was used historically for commercial purposes, these days, the Murray Canal is used by recreational boaters who visit the Trent-Severn Waterway.
More on the Trent-Severn Waterway in a moment.
I’ll finish out the Brighton area by mentioning the two golf courses in the vicinity – the Barcovan Golf Club and the Timber Ridge Golf Course.
The Barcovan Golf Club is in the community of Carrying Place right next to the Murray Canal and places we have been looking at, and is a semi-private, 18-hole golf course said to have been designed in 1964, and a family-owned business since 1973.
First opening for public play in 2001, the Timber Ridge Golf Course is a challenging 18-hole golf course in Brighton.
Now I am going to head over to the Trenton area.
Trenton is a large community situated on the Bay of Quinte.
The places I have highlighted to look at are Centennial Park; the Canadian Forces Base Trenton; the Canadian Pacific Railroad Bridge; the Trenton Greenbelt Conservation Area; and the Trent-Severn Waterway.
First, Centennial Park.
Centennial Park is located in the center of Trenton on the Bay of Quinte and the mouth of the Trent River.
There is a community arena here, as well as an amphitheater, splash pad, skate park, sports fields, baseball diamonds, playground and trails.
It also hosts many community events, like fireworks and festivals.
Next, the Canadian Forces Base Trenton is operated as an air force base by the Royal Canadian Air Force, and is a hub for air transport operations in Canada and abroad.
It first opened in 1931, and today is Canada’s largest air force base.
It is also an airport of entry and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency.
The use for civilian aircraft is permitted for emergencies and MEDEVACs only, and the border agents can only handle general aviation aircraft for up to fifteen passengers.
CFB Trenton is also in a linear relationship to the racing oval at the previously-mentioned Brighton Speedway Park like we have seen at other places along the way.
The Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) Railway still has a significant presence in Trenton, a vital point on the CPKC network in Ontario with tracks running through the area and connecting with other cities, as well as having an historical railway importance.
Like Toronto, Trenton was the location of a roundhouse, but unlike Toronto, the roundhouse that was once here has been long-gone for all intents and purposes, and the physical infrastructure was repurposed over the years for things like use as a warehouse for a pool and spa company and as a Brazilian kick-boxing emporium.
The CPKC Railway Bridge crossing the Trent River was said to have been built in 1914, the first year of World War I, for the Canadian Pacific Railway.
It is 1600-feet, or 488-meters, -long, and 70-feet, or 21-meters, -high.
The Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern merger took place on April 14th of 2023, combining to form the first single line railway connecting Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
Next, the Trenton Greenbelt Conservation Area has a waterfront trail for walking, cycling, wildlife viewing, and boat launching.
Consistent with my findings of railroads running alongside of waterways in countless places, the trail was built over a former rail-line.
The Trenton Greenbelt Conservation Area provides direct access to the Trent-Severn Waterway system for boating and recreation.
Now I am going to look at the Trenton-Severn Waterway and the Kawartha Lakes Region north of where I have been looking.
The Trent-Severn Waterway is a 240-mile, or 386-kilometer, -long canal route that connects Lake Ontario at Trenton to Lake Huron’s Georgian Bay at Port Severn.
It has been called one of the finest, interconnected systems of navigation in the world
We are told that canal construction started in 1833 and it was completed by 1920, when the first complete transit of the waterway took place in July of that year.
I find it interesting to note that the waterway goes through the Kawartha Lakes region, and looks broken-up by all the lakes.
The Finger Lakes in Western New York on the other side of Lake Ontario have a similar-looking long and narrow appearance, and major canal running through the region as well.
The Erie Canal in New York State runs for 351-miles, or 565-kilometers, between Lake Erie at Buffalo to the Hudson River near Albany.
It was said to have been constructed starting on July 4th of 1817 and first opened on October 26th of 1825.
I am taking time on this subject right now because I find this whole region to have a very intriguing appearance that I don’t believe is the result of glacial activity during the last ice age which we have been taught.
The issue is when and how what we see in our world came into existence – slowly and over geologic time vs. suddenly and catastrophically.
Academia supports Uniformitarianism without question as the only explanation for what we see in today’s world, but I believe there is plenty of evidence to support my working belief that what we see in our would today came into existence suddenly catastrophically, and not that long ago, both in what we would call the natural world and in all the things that don’t add up in our historical narrative.
Like for one example that we have been consistently seeing, why on Earth would yo go through all the effort of building railroad and streetcar lines, only to abandon and remove them a relatively short-time later?
I think what we see in our world today was the result of the deliberate destruction of the original energy grid which all of this infrastructure was an integrated part of.
There are also waterfalls in the Kawartha Lakes region and on the Trent-Severn Waterway, like the waterfalls I found in the Finger Lakes region and the Erie Canal in the last part of this series.
I am going to be looking specifically at Ranney Falls, Healey Falls, and Fenelon Falls.
First, Ranney Falls.
The Ranney Falls on the Trent River in the Ranney Gorge and located in Ferris Provincial Park on the Trent-Severn Waterway.
They are 13-feet, or 4-meters, -high, and 262-feet, or 80-meters, -wide, across the width of the Trent River.
Locks 11 and 12 of the Trent-Severn Waterway are called the Ranney Falls Locks, the first of two flight locks on the waterway.
They are located at the south end of the town of Campbellford.
Flight locks on canal systems are defined as a series of locks like stairs to move boats up or down steep inclines.
The Ranney Falls Generating Station is in Campbellford in the vicinity of Locks 11 and 12, and began operating in 1922.
It has a maximum generating capacity of 10 MW.
Lock 8 (Percy Reach), Lock 9 (Myers), and Lock 10 (Hague’s Reach) are right before the stretch of the Trent River that Ferris Provincial Park is on.
This is Lock 8 at Percy Reach.
It is located at the end of a dead end road, and is popular with boaters because of its secluded location and excellent fishing.
It is near the Murray Marsh Natural Habitat Area and the Walkworth Golf Club.
Hikers can take the Centennial Trail from Lock 8 to Lock 9 at Meyers, which is the short distance of 1-mile, or 1.6-kilometers, from Percy Reach.
Lock 10 at Hague’s Reach comes next.
Lock 10 is described as a quiet, secluded lock station with a large tract of isolated land to roam on the island adjacent to the lock.
Next, the Healey Falls on the Trent River further up the waterway near Campbellford.
Healey Falls have a height of 33-feet or 10-meters, and are 328-feet, or 100-meters, -wide across the Trent River.
A large dam sits at the top of the falls, which affects the flow of the waterfall, from more to less.
Like Ranney Falls, there is a generating station at Healey Falls.
We are told it began operating in 1913, with a maximum operating capacity of 18 MW.
Also like Ranney Falls, Locks are nearby – in this case Locks 15, 16 and 17.
Fenelon Falls is further west of Healey and Ranney Falls, and still in the Kawartha Lakes region.
The Fenelon Falls are on Fenelon River on the Trent-Severn Waterway between Sturgeon Lake and Cameron Lake, and are located within the town named Fenelon Falls.
They are 23-feet, or 7-meters, – high and a width of up to 164-feet, or 50-meters.
We are told the Fenelon Falls earliest generating station was built in 1893 by the Fenelon Falls Electric Light Company.
It is located in-between the falls and Lock 34 of the Trent-Severn Waterway.
We are told the Victoria Railway reached Fenelon Falls in 1876.
By 1893, it had been absorbed by the Grand Trunk Railway, and in 1923, by the Canadian National Railway.
The line was abandoned in 1983, and the tracks removed in 1984.
Today it is the Victoria Rail-Trail that is 34-miles, or 55-kilometers, in length used year-round for all kinds of recreational activities.
Now I am going to head over to the Kingston area at the entrance to the St. Lawrence Waterway, and take a look there and at the two waterfalls nearby – Napanee and Yarker.
First, Kingston.
Kingston, on the northeastern end of Lake Ontario, is at the beginning of the St. Lawrence River and the entrance of the Cataraqui River, the south end of the Rideau Canal.
It is nicknamed the “Limestone City” because of the many limestone buildings here, used extensively in historic structures, like early homes, government buildings, and fortifications, we are told from its time as Canada’s first capital.
Kingston was named as the first capital of the United Province of Canada on February 10th of 1841, and its time as Canada’s capital ended in 1844, only three years later.
I just want to point out that limestone was a common building material in the ancient world, and used in constructions like the Pyramids of Giza…
…and the Western Wall, also known as the “Wailing Wall,” an ancient limestone wall in the old city of Jerusalem.
I am going to start at Kingston Harbour at the entrance to the Cataraqui River, which is also the southern end of the Rideau Canal.
I am going to specifically look at the Murney Tower National Museum; Fort Frederick and Fort Henry – all part of the Kingston Fortifications National Historic Site – and the grounds of the Royal Military College of Canada.
The Murney Tower National Museum is described as an historic Martello Tower.
In our historical narrative, we are told that Martello Towers were small, circular defensive forts built across the British Empire in the 19th-century for such reasons as coastal defenses.
This one was said to have been built in 1846 as a defensive fortification during the Oregon Crisis.
The Oregon Crisis resulted from tensions international border disputes between the United States and Canada that was resolved with the signing of the Oregon Treaty on June 15th of 1846 that established the 49th-Parallel as the border between their territories in the Pacific Northwest.
The Murney Tower’s construction was said to have started in February and ending by June, just as tensions with the United States eased.
These days we are told it showcases 19th-century military and domestic life in Kingston.
Fort Frederick is located on Point Frederick on the grounds of the Royal Military College of Canada.
Its construction is also dated back to 1846 and the Oregon Crisis.
The fort consists of earthworks surrounding a Martello Tower.
We are told that a fort at the location of Fort Henry was said to have been constructed during the War of 1812 on Point Henry to protect the Kingston Royal Naval Dockyard – today’s Royal Military College of Canada – from a possible American attack during the war, and to monitor maritime traffic on the St. Lawrence River where it meets Lake Ontario.
We are told that in 1830, a larger fortification was built to maintain protection of the dockyard and also protect the southern entrance of the Rideau Canal.
Today it is a significant tourist attraction.
The Royal Military College of Canada is a military academy that was first established in 1874 and conducted its first classes in 1876.
It has conferred undergraduate and graduate degrees since 1959.
The Royal Military College Memorial Arch is on campus.
It is described as a war memorial arch that was said to have been constructed in starting in 1923 and completed in 1924 to commemorate the ex-cadets who had lost their lives in all military conflicts.
From 1788 to 1853, it was the location of the Kingston Royal Naval Dockyards.
All British garrisons were withdrawn by 1870.
It was the only Royal Navy Base on Lake Ontario, and during the War of 1812, we are told that it countered the nearby American Navy Base at Sackett’s Harbor in New York we are told that it countered the nearby American Navy Base at Sackett’s Harbor in New York that I talked about in the last part of the series that also had historical forts.
Next I am going to look further up the Cataraqui River from Kingston Harbour and the Rideau Canal Locks, which is all part of the Rideau Canal system, as well as what’s found at Canadian Forces Base Kingston.
The Cataraqui River is described as the lower, natural river section of the Rideau Canal that connects Newboro Lake to Lake Ontario in Kingston, and part of the 126-mile, or 202-kilometer, -long historic Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Waterway that links to the Ottawa River and Ottawa.
The Rideau Canal system was said to have been built after the War of 1812 for river defense.
We are told the construction started in 1826 and it was completed by 1832, and that it was used for commercial purposes for only 22-years, because the opening of the Prescott and Bytown Railway opened in December of 1854, providing a faster way to transport goods than the canal.
Like the Trent-Severn Waterway, it is a major recreational route for boaters these days.
The Rideau Canal Locks 46 through 49 are located in the community of Kingston Mills, and are the southernmost locks in the Rideau Canal.
They are located at the outlet of Colonel By Lake where the CN main railway line crosses the Cataraqui River.
We are told Kingston Mills developed because of a series of falls on the Cataraqui River.
A grist mill and saw mill were said to have been built in 1784 by the British government on the falls to serve the Loyalist settlement at Cataraqui, now Kingston.
Later, in 1914, is the year we are given for the construction of a power generating station, which is still in use.
The construction of the four locks at the location was said to have taken place under the supervision of Lt. Col. John By between 1826 and 1832.
In our historical narrative, Ottawa, the national capital of Canada, was founded as Bytown in 1826.
We are told Bytown came about as a direct result of the construction of the Rideau Canal, which was said to have been built by Lt. Col. By, and opened in 1832.
Bytown was said to have grown because of the Ottawa River timber trade.
Bytown was incorporated as a town on January 1st of 1850, and this was superseded by the incorporation of the city of Ottawa on January 1st of 1855.
This is a depiction of Lower Town in Ottawa in 1855.
Lower Town is said to be the oldest part of the city.
Our history tells us that on New Year’s Eve of 1857, Queen Victoria was presented with the responsibility of choosing the location for the permanent capital of Canada, with Ottawa being described as a small, frontier town.
The Parliament buildings were said to have been constructed between 1859 and 1866, in an architectural style called Gothic Revival.
This is a view of Parliament Hill from the Rideau Canal.
Next, Canadian Forces Base Kingston started out as Camp Barriefield, a military base that was established when World War I started in 1914.
Nowadays, It is a large training base that has 46 lodger units, which are military units that are stationed there but are administratively under a different command.
The Garrison Golf and Curling Club on the base is a private club primarily for military personnel that first opened for use in 1971, and has been a frequent host of Ontario and Canadian championships for the Canadian forces.
The Canadian Forces Base is on either side of King’s Highway 2.
King’s Highway 2 was once the primary east-west route across the southern portion of Ontario, with its beginnings in 1794 as the Governor’s Road.
Prior to the 1990s, Highway 2 went through most of the major cities in southern Ontario, including Windsor, Brantford, Hamilton, Burlington, Mississauga, Toronto, and Oshawa.
Since then the completion of other highways, like the 401 and the 403, by-passed Highway 2 as the main highway, and it has not been a part of the provincial highway system since 1998.
We are told that Highway 2 had notable interactions with railways along the way, where we are told it often ran alongside, or crossed early railway lines.
Next, Napanee and Yarker Falls to the west of Kingston.
First, Napanee Falls are described as a long, gentle step falls on the Napanee River, about 197-feet, or 60-meters, long, right behind Dundas Street, the main street of town of Napanee.
Dundas Street is part of the former provincial Highway 2, also known as Kingston Road, and travels from downtown Toronto to the west and Kingston in the east.
The Napanee Overhead Railroad Bridge is near the Napanee Falls.
It is a massive CN Railway Bridge over the Napanee River, with four, stone-arch spans that go over Camden Road, and four, plate-girder spans, that go over Dundas Street and the river.
But there’s not a whole lot of information available to find out about it, including a construction date and the name of the builder.
Next, the Yarker Falls to the northwest of Kingston, also on the Napanee river, are located in the center of the town of Yarker, just downstream from the bridge crossing the river..
They are only visible from the bridge because the falls are surrounded by private property.
There used to be a tea room that overlooked the falls, but the tea room has been permanently closed.
The Cataraqui Trail runs near the Yarker Falls, a year-round, multi-use rail-trail that runs from Strathcona, near Napanee, to Smith’s Falls, passing through Yarker.
Now I am going to start the journey up the St. Lawrence River and the Thousand Islands, as we make our way towards the St. Lawrence Seaway within the river that connects Lake Ontario with the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the North Atlantic Ocean.
The Thousand Islands are a North American archipelago that consists of almost 2,000 islands in the St. Lawrence River between Canada and the United States.
They stretch for about 50-miles, or 80-kilometers, from Kingston.
Some of the Islands are in Ontario and some are in New York.
I am going to be looking specifically at Wolfe Island; the Rock Island Lighthouse; Boldt Castle and the Boldt Castle Yacht House; the Sunken Rock Lighthouse; the Thousand Island Country Club; the Sisters Island Lighthouse; Singer Castle on Dark Island; the lighthouse on Crossover Island; the Prescott Heritage Harbor Lighthouse; Fort de la Presentation Site; and the Old Docks.
First, Wolfe Island.
Wolfe Island is the largest of Canada’s Thousand Islands, and located at the entrance to the St. Lawrence river.
It has a resident population of approximately 1,400 people, which increases in the summer months, and is accessed from the mainland by ferry.
We are told that a canal was constructed across Wolfe Island starting in 1852 as part of a plan to ship goods from Cape Vincent, New York, on one side of the island to Kingston on the other.
Since there wasn’t a direct railway link between the two, a system of steamships towing barges carrying rail cars was planned, but by 1892, the canal was no longer in use because it wasn’t serving its intended purpose.
The Rock Island Lighthouse comes next.
The Rock Island Lighthouse and island is owned by the State of New York and operated as Rock Island Lighthouse State Park.
The tower here was said to have been constructed in 1848 for aiding navigation in the Thousand Islands Region; refitted in 1855 and rebuilt in 1882; and moved in 1903.
The light was decommissioned in 1955, and in 2013 it opened to the public as a state park.
Just a little ways upstream from the Rock Island Lighthouse, we come to Heart Island, and the Boldt Castle and Power House; Wellesley Island and the Boldt Yacht House and Thousand Islands Country Club; and the Sunken Island Lighthouse.
First, the Boldt Castle and Power House.
Boldt Castle was named after turn-of-the-century German-born American businessman, George C. Boldt, who was the proprietor of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City and the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia.
As the story goes, we are told that in 1900, he wanted to build a huge masonry structure, one of the largest private homes in the United States, and engaged an architectural firm and hundreds of workers to build a six-story castle on Heart Island as a present for his wife.
Construction ceased however when his wife died in 1904, and he never went back to Heart Island.
This is the Boldt Castle Power House and Clock Tower, which is located on the eastern end of Heart Island, it was said to have been designed to look like a medieval tower.
It rises out of the St. Lawrence River from an underwater shoal.
It housed two generators that would supply electricity to the entire island.
Sadly, much of the original equipment has been lost, with only a few pieces remaining on display.
On the neighboring Wellesley Island, we find the Boldt Yacht House and the Thousand Islands Country Club.
The Boldt Yacht House was said to have been commissioned by George Boldt to house the many yachts he owned.
It was said to have been built in 1903, and had five structural elements: a circular tower containing reception rooms; a central group of three yacht bays; a large east yacht bay; a combination office and storage wing with a crenellated tower; and a large caretaker’s residence.
The Thousand Islands Country Club is the premiere golf resort on the Thousand Islands.
The Old Course was said to have been built in 1894, and is one of the oldest golf courses in the United States.
The Sunken Rock Lighthouse is on what is called Sunken Rock or Bush Island.
It was said to have been constructed in 1847 at the same time as the Rock Island Lighthouse, and is on top of a reef.
The tiny island is completely occupied by the lighthouse and the boathouse.
It is within sight of Boldt Castle.
The next places we come to from here are the Sisters Island Lighthouse; the Singer Castle on Dark Island; and the Crossover Island Lighthouse.
The Sisters Island Lighthouse sits on top of a shoal of rock that presents as three small islands known as the “Three Sisters.”
It was said to have been built in 1870.
These days it is a private residence.
The Singer Castle on Dark Island comes next.
The Castle, also known as “The Towers” was said to have been built between 1903 and 1905 for Frederick Gilbert Bourne, the fifth president of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, for which tons of granite were said to have been quarried from the nearby Oak Island and transported over ice and water.
The castle features 28-rooms which can be accessed by a network of secret passageways that are accessible from different locations, like the library.
It served as a private residence for the Bourne family until the mid-1960s.
It was opened to the public for tours in 2003.
___________________________________
Next, the lighthouse on Crossover Island.
It was said to be named for its location near the point where vessels following the shipping channel crossed over the International Boundary between the American channel and the Canadian channel prior to the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway.
A lighthouse was said to have been constructed there first in 1847, and it was deactivated in 1941.
It has been a private island and residence since 1960.
The next places that we come to from the lighthouse at Crossover Island are Ogdensburg, New York, with Fort de La Presentation and the Ogdensburg Harbor Lighthouse; and Prescott, Ontario, with Fort Wellington; the Prescott Heritage Harbour Lighthouse; the Prescott Golf Club; and the Windmill Point Lighthouse.
Ogdensburg on the New York-side of the St. Lawrence River at this location serves as the first U. S. port on the St. Lawrence Seaway, with customs service and rail access.
Fort de la Presentation was said to have been built as a mission fort where the St. Lawrence River and the Oswegatchie River meet in 1749 by French Sulpician priest Abbe Picquet to convert members of the Iroquois Confederacy to Catholicism.
We are told it was abandoned by the French in 1759 when the British approached during the French and Indian War.
After the British victory of 1760 with regards to the French and Indian War, the French ceded their Canadian territory to Great Britain, who renamed it “Fort Oswegatchie.
It was under British control until Jay’s Treaty in 1796, when the redefinition of the northern border caused the land to be taken over by the United States.
The Ogdensburg Harbor Lighthouse is also situated at this location where the St. Lawrence and Oswegatchie meet.
It was said to have been constructed in 1834, and though it is privately owned, it is still being used as an aid to navigation and is available for public events.
Prescott is on the other side of the St. Lawrence River in Ontario.
We are told the area was settled by American Loyalists in 1787 after the American Revolutionary War.
Prescott’s harbor developed in the early 19th-century, notable for its freight forwarding businesses, which shuffled Great Lakes freight between Prescott and Montreal.
Fort Wellington in Prescott was said to have been built between 1813 and 1814 by the British during the War of 1812.
It was designated as a National Historic Site in 1920, and transferred to what is now Parks Canada in 1923.
Once upon a time, Fort Levis was said to have been built by the French in 1759 on an island in the St. Lawrence River, which would have been in-between Fort Wellington in Prescott and Fort de la Presentation in Ogdensburg.
Our historical narrative tells us that the French surrendered the fort to the British in 1760 in the French and Indian War.
We are told the fort was abandoned in 1766, and later submerged by the St. Lawrence River during the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway in the 1950s.
The Prescott Heritage Harbour Lighthouse is located close to Fort Wellington and the Old Docks.
This lighthouse was said to have been constructed in 1908.
The Old Docks in Prescott refer to the old railyards and ferry on the St. Lawrence River, which were used for transshipment from 1854 to the 1970s, when they were closed.
The docks were said to have been constructed in 1812, and used for ships moving goods between Prescott and Montreal, with a rail-link to Ottawa opening in 1854.
The old railyards, which had a roundhouse, is now on a rail trail called the Prescott Riverfront Trail.
These places are right next to the Prescott Golf Club.
Established in 1939, the Prescott Golf Club is known for being located near the historic Prescott Junction railway site, and the golf course absorbed some of that land.
In our historical narrative, the Bytown and Prescott Railway began operating in 1854, connecting Ottawa and Prescott, and we are told that was followed by the construction of the Grand Trunk Railway mainline between Toronto and Montreal, which connected to the Bytown and Prescott Railway at Prescott Junction.
The Windmill Point Lighthouse is relatively close to these other locations in Prescott on the St. Lawrence River.
The Windmill Point Lighthouse was said to have been constructed as a windmill in 1832, and that in 1872 it was converted to a lighthouse, and became operational in 1874, serving until 1978.
Today it is a National Historic Site administered through Parks Canada.
Next, comes the Iroquois Lock & Dam on the St. Lawrence Waterway, located near Iroquois, Ontario.
The Iroquois Lock & Dam manages Lake Ontario’s water-levels vital for controlling flow and preventing floods.
As such, it allows vessels to transition from the deeper Lake Ontario into the St. Lawrence River by managing water-level and currents.
We are told that Iroquois, Ontario, was known for its historical significance as an indigenous gathering place, and that it was relocated from the original village due to the creation of the St. Lawrence Seaway, and that the original village is the Iroquois Golf Club.
As previously mentioned, we are told the St. Lawrence Seaway was constructed between 1954 and 1959 to allow deep-draft vessels from the Atlantic Ocean to reach the Great Lakes that included a series of locks and hydroelectric power dams, and created a continuous deep-water route.
Next, we come to the Long Sault Dam and the Eisenhower Lock, and the Moses-Saunders Power Dam and Powerhouse, and the Snell Lock.
The Long Sault Dam and the Eisenhower Lock are near the Massena, New York-side of the St. Lawrence Seaway.
The Long Sault was the name of a rapid that created a navigation barrier through much of its history.
The Long Sault Dam is a spillway structure controlling waterflow from Lake Ontario, and working with the nearby Moses-Saunders Power Dam.
The Long Sault Dam releases excess water.
The Eisenhower Lock provides a 38-foot, or 12-meter, lift for ships heading upstream.
It is one of two locks near Massena that work in tandem with each other.
The other is the Snell Lock, and it has a lift of 45-feet, or 14-meters.
Both are part of the Wiley-Dondero Canal that raise or lower vessels depending on their direction of travel.
The Moses-Saunders Power Dam near Cornwall, Ontario, supplies around 2,000 MW of power total to both Ontario and New York through the Robert Moses Generating Station on the United States-side, and the Robert Saunders on the Canadian-side.
The Lost Villages were ten communities in Ontario near Cornwall that were submerged during the construction of the Moses-Saunders Power Dam complex.
On July 1st of 1958, a large cofferdam was demolished, allowing the flooding to begin, and in four-days time, these communities were underwater.
I would say there are countless examples of hydrological systems being used to flood ancient communities happening in our historical narrative.
For one example, I can think of places like Celilo.
The Dalles Dam is a concrete, run-of-the-river dam spanning the Columbia River, said to have been built between 1952 and 1957, roughly the same period of time as the St. Lawrence Waterway was said to come into existence.
The city of The Dalles was said to be a major Native American trading center for at least 10,000 years, and that the general area is one of North America’s most significant archeological regions.
In 1957, the rising water filling The Dalles Dam submerged the Celilo Falls, and the village of Celilo, the economic and cultural hub of Native Americans in the region, and said to be the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in North America.
The last place I want to look at before I end this post is what we find on the St. Lawrence Seaway heading into Montreal, Quebec – the Beauharnois Powerhouse & Lock; the Soulanges Canal; the Cote St. Catherine Lock and the St. Lambert Lock.
The Beauharnois Generating Station and dam was said to have been constructed in three phases, starting in 1930 and completed in 1961.
It was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1990.
It is capable of generating almost 2,000 MW of electrical Power.
We are told that the original Beauharnois Canal was built in 1843 on the south-side of the St. Lawrence River, but that the Soulanges Canal on the north-side of the St. Lawrence River superseded it when it was said to have been built in 1899.
Then between 1929 and 1932, during the Great Depression, the present-day Beauharnois Canal was built as part of the hydroelectric power complex project with the generating station and dam.
Then in the 1950s, we are told that two locks were added as part of the St. Lawrence Seaway project, which then superseded the Soulanges Canal.
There are several railway crossings over the Beauharnois Canal, including the historic Grand Trunk Railway bridge, said to be an early railway structure notable for its engineering in the 1850s that was part of the Montreal to Toronto line.
Next, the Cote St. Catherine Lock and the St. Lambert Lock.
The Cote St. Catherine Lock is an important part of the Lachine section of the St. Lawrence Seaway, by-passing the Lachine Rapids to lift ships between the St. Lawrence River and Lake St. Louis.
Lastly, the St. Lambert Lock.
The St. Lambert Lock is the first lock of the St. Lawrence Seaway, located at the Port of Montreal at the western end of the Montreal Harbour.
It is a single-chamber lock that is surrounded by road and railroad infrastructure, requiring traffic re-routing during transits.
The Lachine Section of the St. Lawrence Seaway includes the South Shore Canal with the Cote St. Catherine and St. Lambert Locks, by-passing the Lachine Rapids.
The Lachine Canal runs across the north-side through Montreal Island from Lachine to the main harbour.
I find the same patterns everywhere I look, of man-made canals and lakes.
Here are some examples from the research I did for “Pyramid Alignments on the Earth’s Grid and What They Reveal – Teotihuacan to Giza Part 3: Europe & Egypt.”
On the coast of western France where this alignment enters Europe, I found the “Canal des Etangs,” which translates to “pond canal” in English, that was formally opened for use, in 1864, which was in the same period in our historical narrative as the American Civil War.
The “Canal des Etangs” links Lake Hourtins and Carcans at its northern end, located in the Hourtin Dunes and Marshes National Nature Reserve and the largest freshwater lake entirely in France and part of the “Great Landes Lakes”, through Lake Lacanau, another of these lakes, with the Arcachon Bay at its southern end.
The section of the “Canal des Etangs” that connects Lake Lacanau with Arcachon Bay is called the “Canal du Porge,” and has six locks.
Among other canal systems, I also found the Rhone-to-Sete Canal where this alignment leaves the coast of southern France
It runs for 61-miles, or 98-kilometers through wetlands, from Beaucaire on the Rhone River to Sete at the edge of the “Etang du Thau” or “Thau Pond.”
We are told that construction of the Rhone-to-Sete Canal started in the 17th-century and was finally completed in 1808.
This is a very watery location for such a huge undertaking as building a sophisticated engineering project like a canal, especially starting in the 17th-century.
I looked at this subject in-depth for the first time in 2020 where I did research work on reservoirs, dams & hydrological systems in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and the South Pacific, and found that the advanced engineering involved in all these projects was worldwide with the same characteristics.
I believe all that the hydrological-engineering technology we are seeing everywhere was pre-existing too, and the “construction” was just re-starting the infrastructure for present-day use.
Keep in mind that the Welland Canal back in St. Catharines, Ontario, at the beginning of this journey is considered part of the St. Lawrence Waterway, and the entirety of Lake Ontario is in-between this two places.
It is my belief that Lake Ontario was formed relatively recently, along with the other Great Lakes.
I think what we see today with the Great Lakes, and many lakes for that matter, was the result of a deliberately-caused cataclysmic event that destroyed the Earth’s original energy grid.
This event caused the land to undulate and buckle, causing among other things, swamps, bogs, deserts, dunes, and whole land masses to submerge or shear-off under new seas and oceans.
I have come to believe that the circuit board of the Earth’s grid system was deliberately blown 0ut by one or more forms of directed frequency or energy of some kind into different places on the Earth’s grid, either at the same time, or different times within a finite period, because there’s just so much devastation on the entire surface of the Earth.
I also believe that those behind the destruction of the energy grid ushered in the creation of a New World Order built on top of the ruins of the Old World, and that what we think of as modern infrastructure because that was what we have been told in the official narrative, was actually pre-existing infrastructure, including railways, canals, and airports among the many examples available to choose from that we have seen throughout this series on the Great Lakes.
In the next part of this series, I will be looking at the American-side of Lake Erie in “North America’s Great Lakes – Part 7 Lake Erie from Buffalo, New York to Grosse Ile, Michigan.”
