Robert Fleming Gourlay was a Scottish
farmer who came to Upper Canada to settle for land.land. He wrote a guide to help other immigrant farmers. He noticed that government- controlled lands stood in the way of settlers being able to build roads that could connect them to villages and each other.The government kept Crown reserves, land which it sold off from time to time to bring in revenue. Clergy reserves were set aside to make sure that many Protestant churches were present in Upper Canada. Land was also set aside for other uses, such as providing timber to Britain’s Royal Navy. In 1819 the government banished him from Upper Canada for inspiring a protest.
