Report by W. L. Mackenzie King, C.M.G., Deputy Minister of Labour, on the need for the suppression of the opium traffic in Canada.

Another option would be to look at articles on opium in the British Colonist, for example from 1905 to 1910.

PS.Here is a summary of the footnote information from class today:

When to use footnotes:

• Quoting (author's words must be in quotes)

• Using another author's ideas or findings

• Quotes longer than 2 lines are single-spaced and indented on both sides

• Use quotes sparingly (especially for secondary sources) - better to summarize and explain in your own words

Footnotes are not necessary for own analysis, common knowledge, intro/conclusion

Recommended: 3-5 footnotes per page
