 CC10: Ontario Goes Hemp   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Here, on the lawn of the Laprise family farm in Kent County, Ontario, our hemp hosts, Jean Laprise and his partner Claude Pinsonneault, welcomed 500 specially invited hemp industry stakeholders to examine the fruits of their labour and hear the good news of things to come.
Today, August 7th, the Ontario Minister of Agriculture, Honourable Noble Villeneuve, would formally announce the gift of a cool half million dollar grant towards basic hemp research, ending forever the chill of reluctance of the Ontario government to participate in the reimplementation of industrial hemp.
Last summer, the Ontario Agriculture Minister himself visited the Laprise/Pinsonnealt test plots and was so impressed that he alerted his federal counterpart to green-light funding for hemp.

 Landon, The Buxton Settlement in Canada
The Buxton, or Elgin Association Settlement, in Kent county, western Ontario, was in many respects the most important attempt made before the Civil war to found a Negro refugee colony in Canada.
In population, material wealth and general organization it was outstanding, and the firm foundation upon which it was established is shown by the fact that today, more than half a century after emancipation, it is still a prosperous and distinctly Negro settlement.
The western peninsula of Ontario, lying between Lakes Huron and Erie, was long the Mecca of the fugitive slave.

It is proposed in the following work to give some account of the history of the early settlements of Negroes in Kent county, Ontario, and to make a study of the mental capacity of Kent County coloured children.
While there are ample data available of the findings of many investigators from the testing of American Negroes, no attempt has been made to examine the mental capacity of any reasonably large group of Canadian Negroes.
As a matter of fact, there are at present very few districts in Canada in which Negroes are found in comparatively large numbers, Kent County, however is such a district.
