Northern Ontario - Northern Ontario Northern Ontario is that part of the Canadian Northwest Territories which was transferred to the province of Ontario in 1882 and 1912 -- roughly speaking, all of Ontario northward from Georgian Bay, the French River and Lake Nipissing. Northern Ontario covers 1 million square kilometres and constitutes 90 per cent of the surface area of Ontario, although it contains only 10 per cent of the population. Most of Northern Ontario is situated on the Canadian Shield, a vast rocky plateau. The climate is characterized by extremes of temperature, extremely cold in winter and hot in summer. The principal industries are mining, forestry, and hydroelectricity. For some purposes, Northern Ontario is further subdivided into Northeastern and Northwestern Ontario. When the region is divided in this way,.

Canadian Politics in 2003 - it was not enough to unite the two parties. In 2002, Stephen Harper was elected leader of the Alliance, and in 2003, Peter MacKay replaced Joe Clark at the helm of the PCs. Although MacKay had won the leadership by making a deal at the convention with David Orchard, in which he promised not to seek any electoral cooperation with the Alliance, he soon entered talks with Harper to merge the two parties. On October 16, 2003, a merger deal was announced: if approved by the memberships of both parties, they would merge into the Conservative Party of Canada. Orchard filed suit to stop the merger vote, but on December 5, 96 per cent of Alliance members approved the deal, and the following day, 90 per cent of Progressive Conservative members.

MCTV - is a system of four television stations in Northern Ontario, Canada, affiliated with the CTV Television Network. The MCTV stations are: CICI-TV - Greater Sudbury, Ontario CKNY-TV - North Bay, Ontario CITO-TV - Timmins, Ontario CHBX-TV - Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario MCTV was created in 1980 when Cambrian Broadcasting, which owned the CTV affiliates in Sudbury, North Bay and Timmins, merged with Mid-Canada Television, which owned the CBC affiliates in the same cities. This twinstick structure was permitted by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission because these were small markets, unable to support two commercial stations competing for advertising dollars. MCTV later acquired Huron Broadcasting, the CTV/CBC twinstick in Sault Ste. Marie, and was in turn acquired by Baton Broadcasting in 1990. Baton eventually became the sole corporate proprietor of CTV..
Media in Canada - cable packages, the cable company is not required to discontinue the American service A further set of Canadian and American special interest channels are offered as extended cable packages, which are available for additional fees.

As well, a package of pay TV channels is also available for further fees, including movie networks and American superstations (which are often WB or UPN affiliates.) These services, however, require a descrambler box. Cable companies now offer digital cable packages in most Canadian cities, including a number of channels which have been licensed exclusively for.
