"IRISH EMIGRATION TO CANADA" In 1822 the British parliament voted 30,000 pounds to finance a large and experimental emigration plan to transport poor Irish families to Upper Canada. Economic conditions in Ireland played a part in forming the plan. Ireland in the 1820's was an economic "basket case". The value of Irish goods was low, potato crops were meager (the Irish Potato Famine was still decades away however) and population in Ireland was increasing dramatically.
