 For many years now, there’s been an on-going discussion about whether the quality of education in Ontario is actually improving or not. And there’s every indication that education, and access to post-secondary education in particular, will be a hot button issue in the upcoming provincial election.
According to a poll conducted this month by a group of student associations, education is a priority for residents of this province. In fact, nine in ten Ontarians believe post-secondary education is important to the economic prosperity of the province.

A furnace has an expected lifespan of 18-20 years. So if a newer furnace starts to malfunction, it is often a result of clogged vents.
Drifting snow or snow slides from roofs can bury a furnace air intake pipe. A buried vent means the furnace is starved for the air it needs for combustion. A common symptom of the blockage is the furnace continuously trying to start up, but never actually turning on. So before making a panic phone call for furnace repair, go outside and check that the air intakes or the outlets for your furnace are clear of snow.
