The Ontario Linux Fest was announced for 25 October 2008, so don't make any plans for that day in case you are in Ontario or its surroundings! Judging by the feedback received from last year's edition, the Linux Fest scheduled for October might be very successful.The location for Ontario Linux Fest 2008 will be the "Days" Hotel and Conference Center, Toronto Airport East. If you attended last year's Ontario Linux Fest, you will come across some things that are already familiar, such as the "Hands On Demo Room" and "Birds of a Feather Sessions". A welcome party, just like the one from Ontario Linux Fest 2007, plus a wrap-up reception will make things even more fun.The exhibition area and the dot-org pavilion that you encountered at the 2007 edition, made their way into this edition too.

In Wait list for autism therapy growing, critics charge the Star.com reports that "the wait list of autistic children who are eligible to receive intensive behavioural intervention therapy, or IBI, reached 1,148 on March 31, up from 985 last year." NDP critics argue that the government is moving at a slow, even glacial, pace resulting in many children "rotting on the vine" in the words of NDP critic Andrea Horwath who was also quoting parents she had met at a town hall meeting. The article describes spending increases by the McGuinty government but does not really describe a plan for getting children off the autism wait lists.When I was in Ontario last week, as part of the Medicare for Autism NOW! campaign, I had the privilege of meeting some Ontario parents and discussing autism

The Ontario government used Earth Day to introduce legislation banning the use and sale of pesticides for cosmetic purposes, taking aim at more than 70 chemicals found in 300 products. "Our generation has taken to the cosmetic use of pesticides, I think perhaps unwittingly not fully understanding the dangers it represents to ourselves but most importantly to our children," Premier Dalton McGuinty said. Health advocates applauded the new bill arguing the effects of chemicals on young children and pregnant women can lead to cancer or neurological problems. The government is currently undergoing consultations to firm up the list of prohibited chemicals but many large retailers have already announced they will stop selling the products and increase the use of alternatives.

Hamilton is a port city in the Canadian province of Ontario. Conceived by George Hamilton when he purchased the Durand farm shortly after the War of 1812, the town of Hamilton has become the centre of a densely populated and industrialized region at the west end of Lake Ontario known as the Golden Horseshoe. On January 1, 2001 the new City of Hamilton was formed through amalgamation of the former City with the constituent towns of the Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Municipality. Since 1981, the metropolitan area has been listed as the ninth largest in Canada and the third largest in Ontario. Traditionally, the local economy has been led by the steel and heavy manufacturing industries. Within the last decade, there has been a shift towards the service sector, particularly health

Today is Ontario’s first statutory holiday which celebrates the family. Our Premier Dalton McGuinty officially introduced this holiday after some 20 years of anticipating another day off. In our society work consumes a large majority of our time and energy. In a time of constant change and the advent of newer technology which supposedly makes our lives easier, one would think that there would be much more time for family, however this is not the case at all. There is a huge pressure on workers to climb the corporate ladder and earn more money not only to survive but to make sure our family survives well. In 2005, Statistics Canada found that 40% of stressed out men and women attributed their strain to work pressures and the next 10% attributed their source of stress to money struggl

Thanks 911blogger and Reprehensor for this! On Wednesday, February 13th, Barrie Zwicker was invited to be a guest on the publicly funded TV Ontario television program, "The Agenda with Steve Paikin". The episode was originally billed as "Paranoid Political Imagination - Understanding conspiracy theories: Why do some people see things that most don't", this was on Monday the 11th. The "agenda" seems to have been to have Zwicker on the show, showcase him as a paranoid "Conspiracy Theorist" and then have a panel follow up and explain why he was a paranoiac. However, Zwicker was so damn good in the opening segment with Paikin, that the episode was re-named, "Barrie Zwicker - Conspiracy Anyone?", and split into two distinct segments, the first with Zwicker, called "The Interview - Fact or ficti

By: Thomas Ahrens Organic farming is not new to Ontario. To a limited degree, it has been practiced for a number of years on small private farms that catered to the needs of a very select group of consumers, who it seems, knew something that the majority did not. Today, people are clearly apprehensive about the quality and the safety of the food they buy, and consumers have the right to be concerned. Every week there is a new report that focuses on some problem in the food industry. Stories of genetically altered food, e-coli outbreaks, and the use of growth hormones have caused many Canadians to re-evaluate the food that they feed their families.In addition, recent media attention focusing on the health of our environment gives consumers another reason to consider purchasing eco-friendly organic food products. Canadians that are worried about their family's health, and the health of the planet, are turning to organically produced food products such as organic beef. Certified Ontario

Ontario’s superintendent of financial services should review the use of the verbal threshold for establishing serious and permanent injury and/or the use of a Cdn$30,000 deductible to discourage plaintiffs from pursuing smaller auto negligence claims, according to the summary of findings in the Civil Justice Reform Project. The author of the Civil Justice Reform report, former associate Chief Justice of Ontario Coulter Osborne, released his findings in November 2007. Smaller auto negligence claims represent 21% of the province’s Superior Court of Justice claims, Osborne noted. In his report, Osborne noted Ontario’s Bill 198 amendments to the Insurance Act in 1996, as well as its associated regulations, are intended to minimize smaller auto negligence claims.

By: Craig Esson When they take their Ontario winter time resort holiday, vacationers expect to experience crisp clear days in a landscape draped in a fluffy white blanket of fresh fallen snow. They want to be able to skate or fish on glass smooth frozen lakes and they want to ski or snowmobile on an adequate base of snow. Over the last few years, Ontario resort owners have found that they can no longer count on the abundant snowfalls of the past that attracted a steady stream of vacationers and guaranteed resorts a long and profitable winter season. The current trend in Ontario's weather of milder winter time temperatures and reduced snowfall could prove disastrous for Ontario's resort industry. However, by following the guidelines stated below, you will be well on your way to creating a memorable winter getaway in Ontario's resort region regardless of what the weather brings.If you are insistent upon having a winter getaway filled with outdoor activities that require a great deal o

The legal test for negligence — which would absolve an outdoor equipment provider of liability in a personal injury case — is “not perfection but rather to design a product so as to eliminate any unreasonable risk of foreseeable injury,” the Ontario Superior Court ruled in Enslev v. Challenges Unlimited Inc. And although an outdoor swing designer might have foreseen operator error during the use of the product, the consequences of the operator error nevertheless could not have been predicted, the court found. The decision upheld a waiver of liability contained in a signed contract between a Cleveland House (a Muskoka resort) and Challenges Unlimited, an outdoor equipment supplier. via

You've probably been following this idea. The Plain Dealer's Maggi Martin reports today that an ombudsman group of NE Ohioans were in Canada this week and that Ontario has agreed to fund a rather expensive study regarding the validity of a ferry (cargo and passenger) from our Lake Erie shores to Ontario. Places like Ashtabula, Cleveland and Mentor are vying for the honor. The article says Ashtabula is ahead of the game because they already have the proper docking system. Cleveland's Port Authority is lobbying heavily. You can read about it here.Maybe it's just me, but I say let the Ferry go to whomever can do it most cost effectively. It will help our Cleveland economy no matter where it is, imho. We can host the 3C Corridor rail plan!Peace Out -3C

Why Having A Favorite Ice Hockey Team Is Important For Your Self By Johnny McKenzie, Thu Dec 8th Over the years that I have been a fan of ice hockey I havealways had a favorite ice hockey team that I have cheered for. I have to admit that my favorite team has changed every now andthen though, but that is merely because I have been movingaround from city to city. I guess that humans somehow change their emotions depending onwhere they life. One big reason for this might be that it is easier to cheer forthe same ice hockey team as your hockey friends cheer for orpeople at your workplace cheer for. Having a favorite ice hockey team that you can identify yourselfwith can in many cases be good for your self confidence though.For example you and those around you will always know where youstand. This is something that can be important in many cases. The one thing that I love the most though is that you go to anice hockey game with your fellow hockey fans buddies; it almostfeels like the peopl

I have a couple of friends who work for the Ontario Ministry of Education. Canada has no national special education law; each province may adopt their own regulations.Because of my background, I was most interested in dispute resolution mechanisms. In Ontario there is a special education Appeals Board, but school districts are not obliged to implement their decisions. Instead, most special education disputes are contested in the Ontario Human Rights Commission. A denial of FAPE essentially constitutes unlawful discrimination on the basis of handicap under the law there. There is also a major lawsuit pending involving preschool children with autism alleging handicap and age discrimination as well as violations of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. For more information, see www.edu.gov.on.ca and www.ohrc.caThis system is very different than our due process hearing (with embedded resolution session) system that we have adopted in the United States. I think that it is beneficial to

On a long weekend in summer, Ontario's famed Algonquin Provincial Park hosts about 25,000 campers -- about the same number as Mississagi Provincial Park receives all year. The difference is largely a matter of longitude. The further north you travel, the fewer people you're likely to run into. If you are planning a camping trip this year, here's a list of Northern Ontario's family friendly provincial parks.

Ontario Place is a multiple use entertainment and seasonal amusement park owned by the Province of Ontario. Located on the shore of Lake Ontario, just south of Exhibition Place, it is approximately 4 km west of downtown Toronto.Opened in 1971, it consists of three artificially constructed, landscaped islands. Attractions are spread throughout the parkThis was 148 kms drive for us. I have a backup driver now, so mostly sit and guide(not yet relax) ;) Parents can enjoy water slides with their family, while kids are the stars with all the rides open for them. Even toddlers have a seperate area where they have their own mind games.

Even though Mike Colle took the fall in this scandal, those who are to blame are actually the Liberals themselves, especially Dalton McGuinty.Mike Colle, Ontario's Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, tendered his resignation, but he'll remain an MPP in the riding of Eglinton-Lawrence. This happened thanks to a report released by Ontario's Auditor general Jim McCarter revealing that $32 million was scandalously given out to ethnic organizations without any accountability.Indeed, we can tell very easily that Dalton McGuinty, Ontario's Premier, didn't want to deal with this political scandal. Think about the upcoming provincial election of October 10! Even though Mike Colle took the fall in this scandal, those who are to blame are actually the Liberals themselves, especially Dalton McGuinty (photo).Last March, the New Democratic Party (NDP) demanded explanations about why $200,000 was granted to what was described as the Iranian-Canadian Community Centre.

I’ve designed several fountains that are supposed to make their own music. In principle, they are similar to a player piano or a wind-up music box. They use the water’s behavior and natural sounds (splashes, trickles, flowing past fins, etc.) to make specific “notes.” One of these days, I’ll actually construct some of these. In the meantime, there is the interactive musical fountain at the Ontario Science Center. (I’m not Canadian, so I fixed the “re” on the end there for ya.) This is one I really must go see some day soon. I absolutely love that this piece is designed for people to get in, on, around, and to play with.

Nancy from Ontario writes:I am in a situation where both my parents are 80+, live in Charlottetown and each of them had at least one stroke and are unable to care for themselves. I live in Ontario and feel helpless. The doctor advised they should be in a place where they can be taken care of . I asked my younger sister to find a place and let them live their remaining years in peace. She decided to allow them to stay in their home and she will look in on them daily.They live in a two storey home are the doctors advised for them not to use stairs and they are constantly up and down the stairs. I now found out she has full access to their finances and so that explains to me why she suddenly stepped in and is taking care of themPrior to that the only time my parents seen her was when she needed money. She now tells me she had Power of Attorney all taken care of and there is nothing I can do, because I told her I would have dad's bank records checked if the time came that I needed to.My p

The government of Ontario is looking at implementing a recycling fee for electronic goods. Televisions, computers and other electronic gadgets may soon see an increase in price to off-set the cost of recycling them. While Environment Minister Laurel Broten wants the fees to be covered by the companies that produce the goods, Gemma Zecchini, a spokesperson for Waste Diversion Ontario feels certain that if this bill passes, consumers should expect to be shelling more out of their pockets. British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Alberta already pay an electronic eco-fee. via news 1130 image via shopsite consumers, electronic gadgets, electronic goods, environment minister, government of ontario, News, Politics, recycle, recycling, waste diversion ontario

Barton Street Warehouse 3copyright Gordon LevertonTwo of my cyber chums, Gord Leverton and Vivien Blackburn are both heavily involved with 'art shows' in their respective local areas at the moment. Both also use pastels in their artwork. In my opinion, they both do excellent work and I'm highlighting below the various opportunities to see their work in person in the next couple of monthsGetting your work shown seems to me to be directly related to the effort made by an artist to finding opportunities to show their work. Lots of opportunities exist at a local level for all artists - and you can find them and make them work for you if you put some effort into making it happen. I think both these artists are an excellent example of the type of person who gets actively involved with local groups and creating/making opportunities to show their work in both local exhibitions and galleries. This in turn helps to generate exhibitions of their work further afield.This weekend Gord Leve

Après la Colombie-Britannique et l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard, l’Ontario sera la troisième province à tenir un référendum sur la réforme du mode de scrutin. L’Assemblée des citoyens sur la réforme électorale de l’Ontario a en effet décidé aujourd’hui de recommander à la population ontarienne l’adoption d’un nouveau mode de scrutin de type proportionnel: Après plusieurs mois d’apprentissage, de consultation et de délibération, la première assemblée de citoyens de la province a décidé de recommander l’adoption d’un nouveau système électoral en Ontario : un système de représentation proportionnelle mixte. L’Assemblée s’est employée à déterminer quels principes nous tiennent le plus à cœur, lorsqu’il s’agit de notre système électoral, et a pesé les diverses options qui en découlent. Ce processus a permis aux citoyens de s’exprimer directement sur le choix que nous devons avoir, aux élections, et sur la façon

Iran’s costly paradeToronto Star05 Apr 2007Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad relished his moment in the limelight yesterday, lecturing Britain and the United States before “pardoning” and freeing 15 British sailors who never should have been held captive in the first place. Parading them for the cameras one last time to say how grateful they were to be “forgiven,” he even joked about their

Loft living is at its finest in Toronto, and the market is booming. There are literally dozens upon dozens of loft developments under construction in Toronto, and competition is tough. For many people interested in purchasing living space in a new loft development, the search begins early and it is grueling.One thing that makes finding a loft so difficult is that 50 percent of loft developments are sold before the building is listed on the public market. This means that people wishing to buy a loft must do a lot of research and try to secure a loft before construction is completed. If they are successful, there are many rewards. Many lofts in the Toronto area increase in value anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 on the day that they are placed for sale on the public housing market.Lofts are distinct from condos in that they feature exposed ductwork, exposed beams and columns, few interior walls, and high ceilings. They are very open spaces, commonly two stories high and have a lot of orig

Pendant qu’une coalition voit le jour au Québec afin de mousser l’idée d’une Assemblée nationale élue à la représentation proportionnelle et que plusieurs quotidiens, dont Le Devoir et Le Soleil (pas de lien disponible), prennent position en faveur d’une telle réforme, l’Ontario pourrait possiblement tenir un référendum sur la question l’automne prochain: Réforme électorale La proportionnelle mixte à l’étude Radio-Canada.ca Mise à jour le mardi 3 avril 2007, 11 h 02 L’Assemblée des citoyens sur la réforme électorale en Ontario songe à recommander l’adoption d’un système électoral proportionnel mixte. Si ce mode de scrutin était adopté, certains députés provinciaux seraient élus à la majorité simple, comme c’est le cas présentement, et d’autres seraient nommés en proportion des votes obtenus par leur parti. La proposition étudiée prévoit une Assemblée législative de 129 députés:

I am sure that by now some of you know where I work: Posno Flowers. I thought I would talk about that in this post because I have never really mentioned what I do and much about me. So I work at a flower store… and I love the shopautodotca seocontest. I am actually pretty proud of myself with regards to the website. I know it is nothing fancy but I am really new to this and the page was not really designed for any other purpose than to succeed in the search engines. We already had two sites that are offered by the florist organizations, but these are designed to do badly in the search engines in my opinion. They don't let you change any of the tags or title and there is very little you can do (you get this crummy little dashboard where you can change the price of the flowers and change your greeting and make coupons and dumb stuff). I figure FTD and Teleflora do it that way to be democratic because there are a lot of other florists in the area that they provide sites to. So the only

When it comes to old-fashioned charm and beautiful outdoor attractions and scenery, one cannot go wrong when planning a visit to Bayfield, Ontario. For more than a century, visitors have been attracted to this idyllic region filled with tree-lined streets and breathtaking outdoor attractions. Situated next to Lake Huron, Bayfield is also a prime destination for those looking for water-based adventure.One of the major attractions of Bayfield is its quaint main streets, which are home to an amazing array of clothing boutiques, shops, and art galleries. Here you will find anything that your heart desires in the many unique shops that line the picturesque streets. When you get tired of shopping, Bayfield also offers many footpaths and walking paths that are great for sightseeing and taking a stroll down to the marina.Another great attraction is the Folmar Windmill. This operative windmill is used as both sawmill and gristmill, and is open to the public during the summer months. The windmil

Crash!! How can you be prepared for a vehicle accident? Perhaps your reaction time was just a little too slow, or the weather conditions really did mean slow down. Well, now what?Vehicle collision is an everyday, worldwide occurrence. When automobile accidents happen, most people are not prepared for the initial impact, nor for the subsequent impact on their daily life and the inconvenience that usually follows.For most people the second largest investment you will make is the purchase of a vehicle. The aftermath of an auto accident is a very stressful time. Getting back on the road after an experience of shattering glass, crunching steel and squealing brakes can be an overwhelming task to take on in an already busy day. If you could eliminate the disadvantages of living in a large city - the high cost of living, the lack of natural attractions, and the hustle and bustle of city life - while at the same time enjoying all of the advantages of city life, you would consider yourself prett

Gary Bettman announced North Bay the winner after the Leafs-Habs game last night. Cornwall came in second. Way to go, Robert! North Bay gets $50,000 for arena upgrades, the pre-season NHL exhibition game between the New York Islanders and the Atlanta Thrashers on September 17, and the city will also be featured in a national one-hour CBC Television special to air in the fall. The community reached out to displaced Hurricane Katrina children by asking them to join their annual pond hockey tournament. North Bay embraced the unique initiative as sponsors paid for their flights, accommodations and meals during the three-day trip.I guess that really helped their cause.There really is much that I can say right now that won't sound like poor sportsmanship, so I will say congratulations to the city of North Bay. Feel free to sound off any joys or frustrations in the comments section.

This time it's a group called Secular Ontario that has suddenly decided to take on a 210-year old practice of saying the Lord's Prayer in Ontario municipal courts.Using the traditional Christian prayer in council is illegal and sends the wrong message, says Sheila Ayala, a member of Secular Ontario.'I think what they're saying at council meetings when they say the Lord's Prayer is that this council is only for Christians — it's not for anyone else. And that's wrong.'— Sheila Ayala, Secular OntarioThe real question is what do they really want to replace it with? Oh of course, nothing. Notice how it's not a religious group complaining but a secular group. Western society in its desire for political correctness has for some strange reason placed secularism as the default belief system. Instead of celebrating different religions, political correctness advocates supressing them all in favour of non-religion. We saw that with the controversy over the Christmas trees in an Ontari

FIAT, the parent company of Alfa Romeo, is considering launching its return to North American soil using Ontario as its home base. So says CTV News, though FIAT chairman Sergio Marchonne has not acknowledged any talks with Ontario's government-- but has set a goal of building a New World Alfa Romeo by 2012. Ontario can bank on a small home-field advantage; Marchionne was raised and educated in the Toronto area. A joint venture is possible, given that any Alfa will initially be a low-volume niche vehicle. Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, General Motors and Honda are all well-established manufacturers in Ontario. The downside: most of these Alfas are destined to be sold in the U.S. Building cars in Canada is a mighty pricey proposition. Besides, could a car built by a bun
