No ... the one of second choice. "Liberty Enlightening the World" (Lady Liberty) was originally a gift from France to Egypt....
Was the Statue of Liberty a gift from the people of France?
Just Wondering

Must have been made in France like the statue .
Yet you housed them on Ellis Island until they could be properly vetted and screened for all manor of disease .
Perhaps the land itself is cursed. Indians and Whites didn't seem to hit it off at all. In hindsight would they have fought harder or just do a mass suicide type of thing?? How many of those immigrants were in jail first or just knocked out and woke up when the boat was already at sea? Let the poor in and the ones already there are the ones that get richer rather than the immigrants if you look at the bigger picture. Make it just barbaric enough that the elite and educated will stay where they are with their money.
Space is not an issue and all weather roads may not even be needed as a hovercraft ferry service would be able to deliver emergency supplies and the winter supplies can be stock piled by barges during open water. No need for a screening at the point of refugee status take them all as they come and make it a 2 year stay at the Bay before integration into Ottawa life. Rather than make it 'the Jungle II' have it as modern as possible as far as 'hobbies' go as you get to sit around indoors for 6 months and the bugs in the summer means inside would be the preferred location.
Perhaps seals can be trained to pull the kayaks around rather than the house dog pulling a sled.
They would be the perfect population for a help center as they get to practice their English and their patience at the very same time.
Cannon fodder for the Indian wars. We could always house them around the Hudson Bay in self-sufficient housing and at the same time make the 'igloo' design something that can be stacked for transport of many shells in a single load. IKEA type of add-ons could be chosen by the one buying the shell. This clip below is also an option and it could be house or garage.

Trojan Horse filled with money so they would let them keep Quebec.
Did they check the nearest bar?? They would be the ones ordering 'Another round for me and my Friends.' in French with a bit of an Irish accent.. We they chased out of the homeland by things intentionally being made so tough that North America was the only good move left on the table??

"Manner" of disease. A "manor" is a big house.
And thanks for lying. Nobody was ever "housed" on Ellis Island, except those with diseases, in the hospital, or those with criminal records, in the detention center. The average processing time was 2-5 hours. They were asked 29 questions. We turned back 2% of immigrants.
Complete lie. Ellis Island was a processing center. We ran up to 5,000 people per hour. It was not a quarantine facility.
Grosse Isle has a much darker history than Ellis Island, Mowich.
It is a huge Irish cemetary for one.
My own family history touches on the other, darker part. During WWII, my uncle was a Captain in the Canadian Army, also, a newly graduated Veterenarian in 1940. He and his whole class of graduates were scooped up by the Army to study "tropical diseases".
Grosse Isle was Canada's biological weapons research facility and my uncle was actively working on weaponizing Anthrax, there. One day, a seal broke in a lab and he and his buddy contracted anthrax. Penicilin was a recent invention, not yet deployed but the Army got hold of a small, raw experimental sample of it. They ran it through them over and over, distilling it out of ther urine and running it through again. My uncle survived. His mate did not.
My uncle always had crummy health and a lot of pain and the explanation was "tropical disease". We only learned the truth in the 1990s when he was released from the Officials Secrets Act (just before it caught up to him and he died). Canada was by no means alone. Everybody did this. The Japanese were the most successful at developing and using bioweapons. We also had stocks of gas and we were the smaller partner in Project Manhattan.
Grosse Isle is hopefully, a monument to the dead Irish but the other part should be remembered, as well. I'll bet that it isn't.
hey stupid...
think before quoting someone.
the Mowich link was a related reply to pgs and nothing to do with your little treatise there slim.
ellis ain't even mentioned there.
it's a Canadian historical link little small man.
about our own immigration and quarantine practices on our island, long before ellis got into the game.
ya follah?
as you were.
anyway...
after a time, yep.
1921 Post-war immigration quickly revived and 560,971 immigrants passed through Ellis Island in 1921. The first Immigration Quota Law passed the U.S. Congress, adding to the administration problems at Ellis Island. It provided that the number of any European nationality entering in a given year could not exceed three percent of foreign-born persons of that nationality who lived in the U.S. in 1910. Nationality was to be determined by country of birth, and no more than 20 percent of the annual quota of any nationality could be received in any given month. The total number of immigrants admissible under the system was set at nearly 358,000, but numerous classes were exempt.
1924
The Immigration Act of 1924 further restricted immigration, changing the quota basis from the census of 1910 to that of 1890, and reducing the annual quota to some 164,000. This marked the end of mass immigration to America. The Immigration Act also provided for the examination and qualification of immigrants at U.S. consulates overseas. The main function of Ellis Island changed from that of an immigrant processing station, to a center of the assembly, detention, and deportation of aliens who had entered the U.S. illegally or had violated the terms of admittance.
The Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island
How's tricks, candy?
Here's a quote. Actually, it's the title:
Canada’s Ellis Island
Let's see you lie your way out of this one. Or just run away to your safe space, snowflake.
You claimed Ellis Island isn't mentioned in the article.
It's in the title.
You're a liar, and the evidence is right there, snowflake.
Back to not reading your sh*t. You huddle in your snowflake safe space now, hear?
right dummy, just like I'm Canada's Clint Eastwood, living in Hollywood North.
give it up little small man.
you answered her too quickly and likely never opened her link.
contempt prior to investigation.
you fail kid.
thanks for playing though. :lol:
Canada's "Ellis Island" would be Pier 21 in Halifax.
https://www.pier21.ca
Montreal and Quebec City were also huge ports of immigration entry.

Funny, you say all this stuff you can't possibly know in support of your accusation.
My evidence is right there for all to read.
Nighty-night, snowflake. Make sure to apply butthurt cream. . . liberally.
*snerk*
yeah...so who was lyin'...pgs or mowich?
and uh son, I never go anywhere. I'm always here.
and...and, if you think for a second that you could ever make me 'butthurt', then your arse is suckin' wind. Lol.
well alright then. in the spirit of the season I suppose.
a long time ago a dude named pgs said something something "Yet you housed them on Ellis Island until they could be properly vetted and screened for all manor of disease" racist something something to our little billy jack fellow.
to which madame mowich added (yes, we did the same and/or more) here in cannuckistan back in the day and long before ellis island was a tourist trap....then she provided a link detailing some stupid island in the gulf of st lawrence.
then mr pony boy yammers on and tried to shut down the two members via ye olde grammer-nazie and some pontification about his wee island of wretchedness...he was partly correct but then all wrong because in the later years ellis became a kinda guantanamo bay holiday inn thingie...hard vetting and basket-deporting the innocent deplorables of the day.

so I says to the wee man, I says:

ellis ain't even mentioned there. (because 'there' implies the link of course, the story, the guts of it, but slim wanted to get pissy about the word ellis being the title of the main article, was rolling his lawyer pen around his fingers and such, lookin' cool 'n' sh!t... so I may have to just pat him on the head a little later on, we'll see how he behaves)
it's a Canadian historical link little small man.
about our own immigration and quarantine practices on our island, long before ellis got into the game. (some learnin' for the cuck)
ya follah? (a neat little homage to that brilliant movie 'the sting')
also, our internet warrior was wrong about it being just a processing center natch because I gave him da facts about the trumpian antics that shook down the island back in '24.
The main function of Ellis Island changed from that of an immigrant processing station, to a center of the assembly, detention, and deportation of aliens who had entered the U.S. illegally or had violated the terms of admittance.
finally after some dancing from the little man, he called it a night but he'll be back for more.
there's really nothing left to say about the issue other than he made a mistake and I was polite enough to mention his shortcoming to him, to enlighten him, to gently spank his buckskin. some versions of the story have him killing all the residents of whoville but it's generally agreed that his fetid heart grew ten times and he bought all the girls a pair of xmas shoes. the villagers made locutus a saint and there were bumper crops until this very day.
and that is how the mean old lawyer came to know the true meaning of festivus. :icon_smile:
praise be to kek.
