	Politics of Ontario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The political party that wins the largest number of seats in the legislature normally forms the government, and the party's leader becomes premier of the province, i.e., the head of the government.
		The functions of the sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II, are exercised by the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario.
		In general, Ontario is a mixed bag in terms of political trends, despite the fact that the federal Liberals dominated from 1993 to 2004 due to a 'divided right' between the centrist Progressive Conservative Party and strongly conservative Canadian Alliance; the united right of the federal Conservatives has reduced the dominance.

	Ontario - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Ontario is the most populous and second-largest in area of Canada's ten provinces.
		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 American states of Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.
		A political stalemate between the French- and English-speaking legislators, as well as fear of aggression from the United States during the American Civil War, led the political elite to hold a series of conferences in the 1860s to effect a broader federal union of all British North American colonies.

		We will start in 1919 with the changes in the political landscape that occurred as soldiers returned from four years of futile slaughter, to find that the democratic rights they fought for were still not attained by working people, be they industrial workers or farmers.
		Ontario suddenly found itself governed by a group of farmers and working men who never - certainly not at this time - expected to be elected as a government.
		In Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan, farmers and labour provided the core of the CCF and leading Progressives/Farmers were among the CCF's founders.

		But she did offer this hint: of that $23 billion Ontario contributes over what it gets back from Ottawa, she said 60 per cent can be chalked up to the province's strong tax base, the remaining 40 per cent to "unfair" federal programs.
		And Ontario is hardly alone in attacking the "fiscal imbalance," a major gripe of Quebec's Jean Charest, among other premiers.
		No sensible Ontario premier would bank on sustained support from other provinces in a political row; the ingrained anti-Central Canada instinct across the country is too strong.

		Politics in Ontario took a turn for the deathly a couple of weeks ago, then it went away.
		In the first half of the last century, political leaders in the West were preoccupied with two huge wars ("politics by other means"), a depression and a Cold War.
		By the century's end, though, politics was, ostensibly, about anything but life and death: ideas and theories on markets, free trade, liberating individual initiative from the burden of government.

	International Higher Education--7/5
		Glen A. Jones is associate professor of higher education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto, 252 Bloor St. West, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 1V6, Canada.
		A wide conglomeration of labor and social organizations have organized a series of "Days of Protest" in different Ontario cities designed to demonstrate opposition to the policies of the Harris government, including a two-day protest on October 25th and 26th in Toronto where the entire transit system was shut down on a workday.
		On the other hand, the "drifting" nature of Ontario higher education continues; this previously stable network of arrangements and mechanisms is now moving, but there is no clear sense of direction and some concern as to whether there is anyone at the wheel.

	The Politics of Power: Ontario Hydro and Its Government, 1906–1995 by Peter Wylie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		He places his findings within the theoretical frameworks of modern political science, focusing mainly on the postwar boom years of 1945–73, but with considerable detail and insight into the earlier years and less on recent times.
		Mixed in are tales of dirty politics, conflicts of interest, and influence-peddling (for example, Freeman argues, Adam Beck’s methods must be distinguished from his more honourable objectives), but this account is no muckraking potboiler.
		A remarkable aspect of Ontario Hydro, which set it apart from almost every other public utility in the world, was its unique accounting of each municipality’s ‘equity’ in the corporation, detailing each one’s sinking-fund contributions to the retirement of the corporation’s debt.

		The flag of Ontario was established 'An Act to provide a Provincial Flag for Ontario (The Flag Act 1965)', which "assented to" on 14 April, received Royal Approval on 11 May, proclaimed on 13 May (published in 'The Ontario Gazette of 15th May) and came into effect on 21 May 1965.
		At the request of the provincial government, the Standard of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario was the first in a series of new Vice-Regal standards approved by the Governor General, acting in the name of The Queen.
		The flag used by the Legislative Assembly of Ontario (LAO) is derived from the Coat of Arms of the LAO and as far as I am able to assess, it is very close to being a banner of arms.

		One of Noel's chief arguments is that historians have been misled by the heated rhetoric of political combat into underestimating the fundamental political stability of the nineteenth century.
		Paralleling the rise of financial brokerage in the form of joint-stock companies and the floating of bond issues, the political manager's task was `to put together supra-local coalitions in a legislature where loyalties were notoriously unstable but where control of all the prizes of office had at last been concentrated' (117).
		Mowat's political success rested not only on his deft manipulation of patronage, but on the popularity garnered by his skilful promotion of a greater Ontario, particularly with the protracted Manitoba boundary dispute.

		Tonight's provincial leadership debate in Ontario was in essence a political non-event, but the outside activities were truly bizarre and more than a little scary.
		Outside the CBC TV studio in downtown Toronto where the electoral slugfest was to take place, about forty or fifty Tory supporters with blue signs had squared off with a similar number of New Democrats with their orange and fl, and the two camps were energetically berating one another across a ten-meter wasteland.
		Politics in Ontario in the 21st century are definitely enough to ruin the heartiest appetite.

		And the economic cost to Ontario, the country's manufacturing heartland, could in turn have a disastrous economic impact on Canada as a whole, chamber president Len Crispino argued Wednesday.
		However, "the idea that Ontario is heading for have-not status is something I find hard to believe," said the Toronto MP and former Royal Bank chief economist.

		Here in Ontario, Piper's ex-employer is one of the prime movers behind the single most embarrassing issue Rae's government has faced: the bitter fight over changes to the NDP's labor legislation.
		One consequence of this caustic debate is that investors are being told that Ontario is not a good place to invest and many, including the Europeans and Japanese, are sitting on the sidelines.
		When the NDP came to power in Ontario, Hill and Knowlton made a transparent attempt to bring some well-known NDPers onto their staff, in addition to Piper, to curry favor with the new regime.

		In Ontario, though, the NDP was far behind the Liberals and far behind their percentage of the popular vote in every Western province except Alberta.
		If left-wing voters in Ontario stuck with the NDP the way they did out West, the Conservatives would have probably done quite a bit better this time, and would have better prospects in future elections.
		The first thing to note is that this budget shows Ontario running a deficit for three years before returning to a balanced budget in the fourth year (just in time for the election.) Budget deficits, while sometimes justifiable, are generally regressive, because government debt is held disproportionately by the more affluent in society.

		In contrast, Graham Whites The Government and Politics of Ontario offers a much more practical (not to mention an accurate) approach to the study of Ontario Politics.
		Although somewhat dated now, the essays still offer an interesting analysis of the nature of politcs in Ontario, and the manner in which Harris and his accomplices managed to Trojan Horse the Tories into Queen's Park and systematically overhaul the government of Ontario.
