Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Our drive back to Canada was fairly uneventful and even the wait at the border wasn't too long - an hour and a half or so. We reached Toronto airport at 7pm.

Minden, Ontario
One thing about a dog is that you get regular outdoor exercise no matter what the weather.

Haliburton County The summer back home in Canada was to allow me time to do some paperwork. Last year it was mild until January so I took my time but one day I woke up to snow. This year November had weather of which any February would be proud. Winter is great in Canada except for the driving. You even have to drive if you want to see Santa Clause. Taking the dog for a walk is pleasant enough in good weather but when the walk entails drudging through snow it gets tiring. The dog doesn't seem to notice a difference. [View Full Entry]
