"Social class and financial means would often determine how an immigrant reacted to the experience of moving to Upper Canada. But Upper Canada also had a way of levelling people, of making them change their priorities. Many younger children of English aristocrats or pensioned-off army officers came with their families to settle in the colony. The their chagrin, they found they had to do most of the back-breaking labour of building and maintaining a farm themselves. Cheap labour and good, respectful servants were hard to come by. In Europe, overpopulation and a lack of labour laws made poorer people desperate for employment, so upperclass people could live apart from the so-called lower classes. This was not the case in Upper Canada. Most settlers found they needed their neighbours, and socialized with them, no matter what their background. "

Why is lower Canada called lower Canada when it's really higher?
It's not based on the location on a map. It is more geographical. The "lower Canada region" is more upriver on the St Lawrence. The higher up the river, the "lower" you are. Upper Canada or "Ontario" is located at the tip of the river. Settlers arrived through the St Lawrence and believed the entrance to the river was lower, and the end of the river was higher. ============================================================ "Upper Canada" and "Lower Canada" were named because of their relative elevations and their relative locations on the St Lawrence watershed. Upper Canada was upstream, and at a higher elevation; Lower Canada was downstream, and at a lower elevation.
