...still hard for many to acknowledge. Ontario Premier Mike Harris raised Canadian eyebrows last month when he suggested that his province placed its highest priority on relations with the states of the U.S. Midwest. "I really see you as very, very strong allies," he told a meeting of Great Lakes Governors in Cleveland. "More so than many parts of Canada." The implication that Ontario might line up with Michigan, Wisconsin or Ohio against sister provinces--or even Ottawa--if economic interests required it was hard to miss. Was this sedition...
...automotive industry. The so-called automotive alley of assembly plants and partsmakers that stretches from Toronto and London, Ont., to Detroit is one of the world auto industry's most productive centers. But autos are nothing like the whole picture. Energy exports, shipping and other transportation links across the Great Lakes and a growing e-commerce further cement the relationship.

The Fanny of the novel, a mousy poor relative come to live in the eponymous great house, is here, like the author, a witty observer of the swells at romantic play. She's also the patient, strong-willed mistress of her own romantic destiny who finally achieves her long-desired true love. The movie may not entirely please Austen purists, but it is well acted, and it achieves a strong, smart, engaging life...
