📢 Great news, Ontario!
Starting today, all grocery and big-box stores are now able to sell beer, wine, cider and ready-to-drink alcoholic beverages, including large pack sizes. As we launch the last phase of the expansion, we are creating new opportunities for local retailers and Ontario-made producers to grow their business.
We promised to deliver choice and convenience when buying and selling alcoholic beverages and with today’s expansion, we got it done.

Ontario is bounded by Quebec to the east, Manitoba to the west, Hudson Bay and James Bay to the north, and the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes to the south.

Terrance Stanley Fox CC OD (July 28, 1958 – June 28, 1981) was a Canadian athlete, humanitarian, and cancer research activist. In 1980, with one leg having been amputated due to cancer, he embarked on an east-to-west cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Although the spread of his cancer eventually forced him to end his quest after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339 mi), and ultimately cost him his life, his efforts resulted in a lasting, worldwide legacy. The annual Terry Fox Run, first held in 1981, has grown to involve millions of participants in over 60 countries and is now the world's largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research; over C$850 million has been raised in his name as of September 2022.[1]

🍁Dire « oui » au bonheur
Dire « non » à la mauvaise humeur,
Dire « peut être » à l’avenir,
Dire « je ne t’oublie pas » aux souvenirs,
Dire « adieu » au stress,
Dire « pourquoi pas » à la paresse,
Dire « j’ai compris » aux erreurs,
Dire « plus jamais » aux jugements de valeur,
Dire « pardon » à la peine,
Dire « bye bye » à la haine,
Dire « heureusement que tu es là » à l’humour,
Dire « pour toujours » à l’amour,
Dire « reste là » à l’envie,
Dire « je t’aime » à la vie !🍁

Forests
70 million hectares – or 66% of Ontario’s land – is classified as forested land. By area, these forests represent about 18% of Canada's forests and 2% of the world's forests. Harvested wood is used to make building materials, pulp and paper and a wide range of other value-added products, such as furniture and flooring.
But there is more than one kind of forest in Ontario. These include the deciduous forest of southern Ontario and the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Forest of central Ontario. Northern Ontario is home to both the Boreal forest and the Hudson Bay Lowlands forest. A very small region of southern Ontario also includes Carolinian forest, which is home to the Kentucky coffee and sassafras trees – both species that can’t be found anywhere else in Canada

En novembre 1885, l'épidémie de variole qui sévit à Montréal depuis le printemps recule enfin.
Le Maire de Montréal, Honoré Beaugrand a fortement incité les Montréalais là se faire vacciner mais devant la résistance de certain, les vaccinateurs ont dû parfois être accompagnés par des policiers.
