Ontario is bounded on the north by Hudson Bay and James Bay, on the east by Quebec, on the west by Manitoba, and on the south by the U.S. states of Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.
Ontario's right to Northwestern Ontario was determined by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in 1884 and confirmed by the Canada (Ontario Boundary) Act, 1889 of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

 SJCRuling
The marriage restriction is rational, it argues, because the General Court logically could assume that same-sex couples are more financially independent than married couples and thus less needy of public marital benefits, such as tax advantages, or private marital benefits, such as employer-financed health plans that include spouses in their coverage.
First, the department's conclusory generalization-- that same-sex couples are less financially dependent on each other than opposite-sex couples--ignores that many same-sex couples, such as many of the plaintiffs in this case, have children and other dependents (here, aged parents) in their care.
The Massachusetts Constitution empowers the General Court to enact only those orders, laws, statutes, and ordinances "wholesome and reasonable," that are not "repugnant or contrary" to the Constitution, and that, in the Legislature's judgment, advance the "good and welfare" of the Commonwealth, its government, and all of its subjects.

His recent election to the office of President of the York Pioneer and Historical Society was a happy recognition of his service to the Society and of his personal worth.
Generation after generation evidently caught the spirit of their forefathers, for there has been handed down from father to son a strong tradition of the worship of the true God, and a stern requirement to parental obedience that success might follow.

 Canadian Archaeological Association   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
In Ontario, archaeology is an activity licensed by the Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation, whose officials review and comment on the work of license holders.
It was recommended, therefore, that archaeologists in Ontario should seek to negotiate protocols with Aboriginal communities, where they have not already been established, in order to address that professional responsibility as well as to ensure the continuing conservation and protection of archaeological features.
On November 30, 1993, the former Ontario Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation released their revised working draft of proposed legislation, prepared by ministry staff, based on a report from the Minister's Advisory Committee on New Heritage Legislation (MAC), which was charged with developing a stakeholder's consensus on what new legislation should say.

Ontario shares with bordering states, namely Lakes Superior, Huron (which includes Georgian Bay), Erie, and Ontario (for which the province is named; the name Ontario itself is a corruption of the Iroquois word "Onitariio" meaning "beautiful lake" or "Kanadario," variously translated as "beautiful water").
The British North America Act 1867 section 69 stipulated "There shall be a Legislature for Ontario consisting of the Lieutenant Governor and of One House, styled the Legislative Assembly of Ontario." The assembly has 103 seats representing ridings elected in a first-past-the-post system across the province.
The title of Prime Minister of Ontario, while permissible in English and correct in French (le Premier ministre), is generally avoided in favour of "Premier" to avoid confusion with the Prime Minister of Canada.

However, if the leader of the governing party is changed shortly before an election is due and the new leader is not a Member of Parliament, he or she will normally await the general election before running for a seat.
An election for every seat in the Commons (a general election) is called at most 5 years after the previous one; however, the prime minister has the power to call a general election at virtually any time.
Customarily, when a majority government is in power, elections are called 3.5 to 5 years after the previous election or as a de facto referendum if a major issue is at hand (the last of these being the 1988 election, which revolved around free trade with the United States).

Hitler confided to General Bock at the time: "Had I known they had as many tanks as that, I'd have thought twice before invading." But there was no turning back for Hitler--he believed he was destined to succeed where others had failed, and capture Moscow.
Although some German generals had warned Hitler against launching Operation Typhoon as the harsh Russian winter was just beginning, remembering the fate that befell Napoleon--who got bogged down in horrendous conditions, losing serious numbers of men and horses--Bock urged him on.

We are introduced to them here, his great- grandfather who owned a watermill in Formosa, Bruce County, Ontario, his grandfather who left that relative prosperity (the trees were giving out) to head west in 1905 (the year Alberta was created, the same Alberta Kroetsch has created), with his father, Paul Kroetsch.
In 1951 he went east, stopped in Winnipeg long enough to have appendicitis, ran a catering company warehouse in Churchill, and then spent three years as civilian director of Information and Education at the United States Air Force Base in Goose Bay, Labrador.
