<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 9, 2006) The arrest of 17 Muslim men and boys in a Toronto suburb on terror charges has triggered a new debate over Canada&apos;s approach to immigration.

But some Canadians — including members of the Muslim community — worry that a growing number of immigrants don&apos;t share common values with their fellow citizens. Brian Mann reports from Toronto.

<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 1, 2004) The &quot;Spirit of Ontario&quot; has been tied to its dock in Rochester since the ferry company suspended service in September after less than three months of daily trips to Toronto.   Mayor William Johnson says meetings this week are aimed at convincing the city council and Rochester&apos;s state Legislature delegation that quick action is needed on his plan to save the ferry.  The Rochester-Toronto boat is one of two high speed ferries that began  operations on the Great Lakes this year.

<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 30, 2003) Ontario appears to be ready to take more steps to protect the environment on the north side of the Great Lakes.

That means diverting 60 percent of the province&apos;s garbage from landfills within the next five years, which could be good news for landfills south of the border. As the Great Lakes Radio Consortium&apos;s Dan Karpenchuk reports, the city of Toronto is taking the lead.
