Gene Wilburn who created the wonderful page Northern Journey Online (www.interlog.com/~njo/ forwarded this request to the Northwest Passage (cdnfolk listserver). I thought it warranted being put here and took the liberty of copying it. Might be a good test of the Mudcat communities resourse base.

Here's a good one. Any Canadian folksongs in FRENCH that mention LAKE ONTARIO.
If you know any, please send them to me and I'll forward them along. [Gene Wilburn ]
