	Ontario - MSN Encarta
		Ontario’s longstanding public utility, Ontario Hydro, was restructured by the Electricity Act of 1988.
		Ontario plants produce enough refined petroleum not only to meet provincial needs but also to export small amounts to other provinces and to the United States.
		This is somewhat misleading because 90 percent of the people in Ontario live in less than 10 percent of the land area, all of it in the south.

		The QEW is signed with a dark blue-on-yellow provincial highway sign with the letters "QEW." For the most part, the 400-Series Highways were not touched in the mass-downloading of highways.
		While this route is not a provincially maintained highway, it is numbered in sequence with the provincial highways and is very much related to the rest of the system.
		Ontario is unique among all Canadian provinces in that it is the only one which actually has a county/regional road configuration.

	Highways
		My interest in highways has constantly been there, but it was not something that I talked about much for many years, because I assumed there was nobody else out there as interested as I am.
		During the same year, the Historical Highways Society of Ontario (HHSO) was formed by some fellow Ontario roadgeeks, to preserve the history of what was once a large King's Highway network in the Province of Ontario.
		Highway historian and HHSO co-president Cameron Bevers discusses the development of the King's Highways throughout the past 85 years, including the building of the QEW and Highway 401, the different route number shields used over the years, and the mass highway downloading of the late 1990s.

	Highway 401 - the Story.html
		Interestingly enough, there was strong pressure on the government to toll the partially built Highway 401 in the mid-1950s, as the driving public became frustrated with what was seen as the snail-like pace of construction.
		Highway 401 was also conceived as a completely controlled-access highway on a separate alignment from start to finish, bypassing all the cities and towns along its length.
		Highway 401 construction was delayed in part, because of material and manpower shortages after World War II and onset of the Korean war in 1949.

	TRAFFIC JAM: The Back Bumper License Plates Page
		Ontario's provincial highways are becoming a kind of endangered species these days.
		Highways 2 and 401 basically ran parallel, so despite the history of the road, it was cut up into strings of county roads with different numbers.
		The Ontario highways up in the northern half of the province are fewer in number and more spread out, and as far as I know, they aren't going to be changing with the times, aside from stretches of road within town limits.

		In this era of highway downloading which has seen all of the Gardiner Expwy (Former Hwy 2) and a part of the QEW given over to the City of Toronto, it seems that the Don Valley will remain in city hands and Hwy 404 will most definitely not be extended southward.
