Mississauga
Mississauga is on the Lake Ontario (Northern route).
Early plans of what would become the Lake Ontario (Northern route) were drawn up by Edward Jones in 1782 but problems with Ashfield Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. Expectations for iron traffic to Edinburgh never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Lake Ontario (Northern route) was closed in 1955 when Kirklees Locks collapsed. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Cecil Harding, there is no evidence that Barry Wright ever made a model of Manchester Embankment out of matchsticks for a bet

Mississauga ( (listen)) is a city in the Canadian province of Ontario. It is situated on the shores of Lake Ontario in the Regional Municipality of Peel, bordering Toronto to the east. With a population of 721,599 as of the 2016 census, Mississauga is the sixth-most populous municipality in Canada, third-most in Ontario, and second-most in the Greater Toronto Area.
The growth of Mississauga is attributed to its proximity to Toronto. During the latter half of the 20th century, the city attracted a multicultural population and built up a thriving central business district. Malton, a neighborhood of the city located in its northeast end, is home to Toronto Pearson International Airport, Canada's busiest airport, as well as the headquarters of many Canadian and multinational corporations. Mississauga is not a traditional city, but is instead an amalgamation of a series of former villages and hamlets (a pattern common to several suburban GTA cities) that were significant population centres, with none being clearly dominant, prior to the city's incorporation that later coalesced into a single urban area.
