Yesterday I had to set up mouse traps in the greenhouses because something - I thought moles- was eating the little pepper sprouts. This morning one trap had a dead mouse. So I have set them all again for tonight and hope to catch something - just so the plants don't get all eaten. It is nice today, and mild temps but with rain this afternoon and as a result, the snow is disappearing nicely.
The Government has sold our server ONTERA, to a private provider - Bell Aliant. Two years ago they announced that the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission (ONTC) was to be privatized. The ONTC has several business assets including the rail freight, rail refurbishment, the Polar Bear Express, and motor coach service, and the telecommunications company called Ontera. The passenger train from Toronto to Cochrane was cancelled immediately, but public and local government lobbying has resulted in announcement that all the other assets will remain publicly-owned. So I don't know what will happen with our services through Ontera- I expect for sure that our costs will increase and the news paper article states job loses. And today the CBC announced drastic cuts to services. where does it all end? Anyway, time for bed. Hope all is well with you folks? Take care.
