The Ontario court decision was appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, which ruled by a 7-0 decision in 1987 that the full funding of Catholic schools was constitutional.

Drew was to lead the Conservatives to victory in the next election starting an incredible run of forty-two straight years of political power in Ontario until defeated in the 1985 election.

 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.

 Ontario Tories re-elected--Harris government will intensify class war
Ontario's right-wing Tory government was re-elected with a comfortable legislative majority in Thursday's provincial election.
In 1998, the Ontario Federation of Labour scuttled a wave of mass protests against the Harris government and plans for a one-day, province-wide general strike ostensibly so that the unions could concentrate their resources on defeating Harris at the polls.
In the run-up to the 1999 Ontario election, the unions split over tactics, with the Canadian Auto Workers spearheading a campaign for “strategic voting”—that is a vote for the Liberals wherever the Liberal candidate was best placed to defeat the Tory nominee.

 The Middle-Class Plague: Epidemic Polio and the Canadian State, 1936-37
The Ontario government’s high level of financial involvement in polio treatment and after-care support during and after this epidemic reinforced the growing value of "state medicine," and set important precedents in its subsequent expansion, especially in the face of worsening polio epidemics in the 1940s and 1950s across Canada.
In Ontario, parents grew desperate for any kind of preventive measure as the 1937 epidemic spread and news of the potential value of the nasal spray generated increasing demands that it be given by private physicians.
In Ontario, by 1930, the OSCC recognized that polio was "the most important cause of crippling, accounting for as much as 40% of the total number of handicapped children."(109) This percentage grew alarmingly in 1937.

Elected in 1934, with a five-year mandate, "Mitch's" Liberal Government still had two years to serve, but by winning another general election, "Mitch" would be entrenched, not for two years, but for five more, a total of eight.
Chief personal satisfactions to the chub-cheeked Premier were three: the defeat of handsome, dapper Earl Rowe, new Conservative leader, the victory of Gordon Conant, Hepburnite, at Oshawa—scene of last April's C. strike against General Motors, squashed by "Mitch"—and a Liberal victory in northern Ontario, stronghold of the C.

I am reminded of the 1989 N.L. provincial election where more Newfoundlanders and Labradorians voted Tory and wanted Tom Rideout as their premier, but Liberal Clyde Wells won it because his votes were neatly concentrated in a seat-friendly way.
During the last election I was left off the voters list, which is more common than it used to be because of recent changes in how they put the list together.

 Rubidge Notes
The genealogy of the Rubidge family was particularly well documented for the generations born between the 1700's and the late 1800's mainly in an attempt to prove legitimate claim to a fortune left in Chancery which was eventually secured by one Mengini-Jones, a female relative who married an Italian.
In 1936, the Department of Railways and Canals was amalgamated with the Department of Marine and the Civil Aviation Branch of the Department of National Defence to form the Department of Transport.
As an observer and as a generalizer, then, Dr. Rubidge was energetic and bold, adding much to the store of geological facts and thought, though working hard throughout in his professional practice, and often suffering from ill-health.

If you're wondering why it took the U.S. government so long to bust a pot dealer, it's because until the Marijuana Stamp Act was passed - on you guessed it, Oct. 2, 1937 - cannabis wasn't illegal.
Certainly, it had been vilified in newspapers with headlines such as "Murder Weed Found Up and Down Coast: Deadly Marijuana Plant Ready for Harvest That Means Enslavement of California Children."Neither was it deemed as some benign recreational drug by the nation's law enforcement hierarchy.
