Re: Election - what does it mean ?
I'm just on my way out to the airport, but I had a few minutes to spare and read the rest of the on topic postings (I skipped the juvenile stuff) and I can see that people have actually started to sensibly discuss our election and the policies of our political parties.
That's great, regardless of how you finally vote, as at least it will be based on some research and some real facts about Canadian politics.
Have a nice weekend, I certainly will.

Re: Election - what does it mean ?
To all effects and purposes ONTARIO DOES NOT HAVE A PNP
It has a "pilot program", introduced maybe 18 months or two years ago now, with very narrow job fields (mainly medical IIRC)
To talk about "Ontarios PNP" is very misleading. As far people applying for residence in Canada go, it might as well not exist.
PNPs overall account for only what, less than 5% of all migration?... Thats the problem. Ontario maybe doesnt suffer too badly as its the premier point of arrival for all the people with skilled worker visas who applied to come to Canada 5 or 6 years ago or whatever the wait is now, but the lack of a PNP isnt helping any either.

The 5% of migration that you mention is going to be increased if greater quotas are given to PNP.

Oh, hang on, it seems we were doing just fine for the first 55 posts in this thread before some frothing loon sent us careering off the rails with a one sided sycophantic homage to Steven Harper...

Is that the E&C on King West? It was closed for refurb a couple of weeks back, don't know if it's reopened yet (I would pop down and take a look, but I'm not in the office today). Fullers is/was quite acceptable.

However, if need arose, I could find King West.

I think there are two. I think the one he's talking about is closest to the Sutton Place.
