Excerpt from Champlain; A Drama in Three Acts: With an Introduction Entitled Twenty Years and After

The mixing up of joint-stock mercantile adventure with projects of colonization was the first of Canada's perplexities of rule. The trader, naturally looking for immediate returns and abnormal percentages, is instant enough in making advances to his adventurous agents, while promising trade centres are being located. This, however, continues only for a year or two. In the matter of colonization, the cupidity of investors and the cheese paring of competition too often encourage a neglect' of the means that make for the development of a country as a place of permanent abode. Even with the dividends at their highest, the trading adventurer is nearly always too eager to secure for himself alone the skimmings of the milk-pot.
