From the supplier: The Ontario provincial government allowed the joint investment of municipal funds following years of prompting from the Municipal Finance Officers' Assn of Ontario (MFOA). The new legislation led to the creation of investment fund CHUMS Financing Corp in Nov 1992. The CHUMS fund was initially targeted at the municipal sector. The new legislation, however, aims to expand the fund's operation to other public agencies. The advantages of CHUMS as a joint investment fund include competitive short-term returns, ease of use, daily liquidity, security of capital, professional investment management and safe custodial services.

Product Description
Founded in 1914, the United Farmers of Ontario (UFO) became a significant force in the province, winning the most seats in the 1919 provincial election and forming a governing coalition with the Independent Labour Party. The UFO and its companion organisations, the United Farmers Cooperative Company (UFCC) and the United Farm Women of Ontario (UFWO), flourished, achieving much of its success by challenging those who controlled the economic, political, and social structures in Ontario and advancing an alternative vision of democracy that sought to maximise citizen participation in the decision-making process. By the mid-1920s the UFO had gone into a period of decline from which it never recovered. The promise of equality hoped for by UFWO members never materialised and the UFCC, once a key component in the development of an alternative vision, began to focus more on profits than on politics.In "Ringing in the Common Love of Good" Kerry Badgley explores both the rise and the fall of the UFO, focusing on the Ontario counties of Lambton, Simcoe, and Lanark.He challenges the liberal-capitalist interpretation that the movement was nothing more than a group of impatient Liberals, as well as the Marxist view that the UFO consisted of self-interested independent commodity producers. Badgley argues that as the UFO broke free from hegemonic forces it developed alternative economic, political, and social visions, but that it was these same forces, combined with internal struggles and a conservative leadership, that ultimately resulted in the decline of the movement as a vehicle for democratic change in Ontario. Kerry Badgley is an archivist at the National Archives of Canada. ... Read more

Product Description
Electricity in Ontario has historically been generated from hydroelectriciy, coal, and nuclear power. Amidst aging infrastructure and diminishing capacity combined with escalating demand, Ontario's electricity policy must contend with growing concerns about air pollutants, global warming, and the environmental impacts of fossil fuel production. Sources of hydroelectric power in the province are limited, while nuclear power is expensive and raises safety concerns. In turn, green energy is also costly and in some cases intermittent. As a result, Ontario's electricity policy requires careful balancing of environmental goals and values against costs that must be borne by consumers and taxpayers.

Current Affairs brings together the views of a number of international experts on electricity and environment along with commentators familiar with Ontario's situation to begin a discussion of these issues. The contributors suggest that in Ontario, as in other jurisdictions, solid environmental policy must be married with thoughtful information programs and regulations to encourage the behavioural and institutional changes that will lead the region to a sustainable electricity future. ...

Product Description
Unlike every other developed nation in the world, in the 1980s there were few midwives in Canada and their practice was neither legal nor officially recognized. Ontario midwives and their supporters pushed to integrate midwifery into provincial health care systems and by 1993 had successfully established an internationally renowned model. Ivy Lynn Bourgeault analyses the struggle to professionalize midwifery in the context of contemporary negotiations between women, as both consumers and providers of health care, and the state. Push! offers an historical account of the forces behind the integration of midwifery in Ontario, including public interest in funding midwifery services and the impact of political lobbying. Bourgeault also explores the specific features of Ontario's respected model, including the use of independent practitioners, government funding for a self-regulatory college, a university-based education program, and the provision of midwifery care in both home and hospital settings. ...
