From River Song: "...On the surface, the river flows one way, underneath are two currents, one of economy and one of poetry. Food for the table, and food for the soul. Four hundred beluga whales and ten thousand ships a year ply the same waters, and rituals of business are performed on the same altar as rituals of beauty. Nine different species of whale, living in smoggy, toxic water, have become profitable tourist destinations, while birchbark canoes have grown into sixty-thousand-ton freighters. This matriarchal river, the headwater of the country's flowing past, has borne the bulk of Canada's history - and history, as a historian once said, is just one damn thing after another."
