yes, it would be crazy! North American economy would be in even worse shape than it is now! That's partly why having the Great Lakes system makes such sense. It opens up places like Chicago, Milwaukee, Gary, Indiana and Burn's Harbor, Rochester, Cleveland, Toledo, Saginaw to International shipping via the St. Lawrence Seaway. Most of the road salt used in those cities and surrounding communities comes from Goderich, Ontario (a small town of about 15,000, and one enormous mine), and it comes in on Canadian ships throughout the shipping season.
