The Bush administration appears to have annexed a major Canadian landmark as part of a slick new campaign to promote U.S. tourism and welcome foreign visitors to America...
About four minutes into the seven-minute production, viewers are treated to the impressive sight and sound of water roaring over Niagara Falls before the screen shifts to the Lincoln Memorial.

I believe the original boundary split the Horseshoe Falls almost exactly in two. I do have the original description from the Treaty of Ghent and a VERY old map. Regardless, the Horseshoe has always been the dominant depiction of Niagara Falls.
This means war!!! The evil bush administration and the neocons strike again. Jail them all immediately.
Crossing the Peace Bridge into Canada from Buffalo and the driving along the Niagara River is also more scenic..compared to driving over Grand Island, NY to get there.
I learned something today. that third smaller waterfall is called the bridal veil falls I never knew that. i thought it was just part of the American falls.
Almost? So if it isnt entireley on the Canadian side, and it isnt the US, what country is the rest of it in? Whaaa....? It's in the US? But that would mean this is a non-story!

After returning from his trip, his dissertation was published in England. I have the original publication in my library.
Still, today's Niagara Falls is but a shadow of itself in the 18th century. Then all the water flowed over the Falls. Today a massive quantity is diverted into the hydroelectric system to make power for the two great cities it has created ~ Toronto and Buffalo.

Partly because the American side of the Niagara River is riddled with old (and abandoned) chemical factories, and the N.F./N.Y. city administrations have always been among the most corrupt around...
And as far as blaming Bush — the area has been one big Dem stronghold for the longest time now.
How about it is a shared landmark and folks like to visit both sides of the falls?
