Forget about free trips from Canada to US and vice versa. The new rules that asked Americans and Canadians to have a passport traveling through their border could cost both countries billions of dollars in lost tourism revenue. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty with the premiers from Quebec, New Brunswick and Manitoba will try to convince U.S. officials to ease travel restrictions on Canadians, during their visit to Washington later this month.

If we want to see more young Ontarians we have to support families with children more. Premier Dalton McGuinty's Liberals promised during 2003 election $300 million in provincial funds on child care.

A lot of lawyers want to work for big corporation, but a small number of them wish to be a JP. Because of a chronic shortage of justices of the peace many of charges across the GTA are being dropped.

A 16^th birthday of Carrie-Ann has become a last birthday for some guests. Shortly past midnight on Sunday morning a 17-year-old died, and two were injured, one of them very serious. Who are they? What has happened in this yellow stucco home on Scarborough Heights Blvd?

What does cold weather bring to us? Multiple layers of clothing on our ladies that make them a little bit thicker than usual, but can't make them less beautiful. Snow keeps the streets without dust and the grass with moisture when the snow melts. Icy wind "push" more people inside taxicabs.
