Where in Canada can you spot dolphins, palm trees and beach parties in February? In an alternate universe, the answer is Jamaica – one of a select few Caribbean islands that might have become Canadian provinces if history had unfolded a bit differently.

Canada will get four million new citizens, frontiers on the equator, a three-hundred-million-dollar market, plus calypsos and cricket if the majority of the British West Indians succeeded in their bid for union.
CASTRIES, St. Lucia, B.W.I. --Two small, passenger carrying. cargo vessels, the Federal Maple and Federal Palm, have now celebrated more than two years Of plying the Caribbean. Although these comfortable little ships of 3,200 tons are not well known in the travel industry in the United States, or even in Canada, where they were built about three years ago, they are carrying an increasing number of tourists. The vessels have been nicknamed "the Caribbean's wonderful mystery ships." The mystery is who owns them and what is to become of them. They came from Canada as a gift to the prospective Federation of the British West Indies when the federation seemed a certainty only a few years ago. Under the plan of those days, the islands of the British West Indies were to be federated as an independent member of the British Commonwealth.
