Toronto is unrealistically cold these days for a tropic city. As most Ontariar-iar-ians know, we live BELOW the 49th parallel in Rio de Toronto. To get TO the 49th parallel, now sealed by GB and frends, you have to go WAY up north in Ontariar-ia-rio. It definitely reminds me of the far north, freeze und drie.

I used to live at Fhart MacMurray, of oil sand supreme (largest oil reserves of any country in the world by an order of magnitude or two) at the very tip of the Albertoid/Artic border perhaps at 58 degrees north. There you would expect totally frigid air, but lo! It was WARMER than Calgary, which was 500 miles south. Why? The JET stream, which due to its shape of flux sends warmer of colder air whither it bends. Coldest day in FM was perhaps a balmy 25 below C in January.

The Fhart, as it is affectionately called was where we started the CANADIAN MINING NEWSLETTER in 1994, which was to destroy and promote many a mining stock in its brief but ~brilliant~ career. Actually it was nascent in Timmins in 1993, but did not get interneted until later. Incidentally, the Fhart is the MOST computerized town in Canada by some sort of flake statistic, they were fond of quoting. Greaseheads. Go figure.

WTZ management changes

I liked this:

<"The changes we announced today are clear evidence that Western Silver is serious about moving its Penasquito project forward and is prepared to acquire the skills necessary to make this happen," said Mr. Corman.

Western Silver Corporation is a publicly-traded mineral exploration company focused on discovering and developing silver properties in the Americas. The Company's primary project, the 100%-owned Penasquito property in central Mexico, is emerging as a large silver-gold-lead-zinc district with significant exploration upside. Penasquito has been independently confirmed as one of the largest undeveloped silver deposits in the world and is economic at current metal prices. Western Silver also has an interest in the San Nicolas zinc-copper project in Mexico with Teck Cominco and owns the Carmacks Copper Project in the Yukon. The Company, which is internationally recognized for its technical ability, is listed on the American (AMEX:WTZ - News) and Toronto (TSX:WTC - News) stock exchanges>
