The conference was a huge success for its time, attracting almost 100 papers and more than 150 participants. We have come a long way since then! VLDB conferences attract today hundreds of submissions and participants. Thanks to the efforts of programme committees, authors, and the VLDB Endowment over the years, VLDB conferences constitute today a prestigious scientific forum for the presentation and exchange of research results and practical experiences among members of the international Databases community. VLDB conference regulars are familiar with Canada. This is the third time the conference is visiting, after Montreal (1980) and Vancouver (1992.) In all three occasions, the Canadian Databases community served as backbone for the organizing and the programme committees. At the same time, as with other years, the committees that put together this conference were international, with participation from all regions of the globe. We are grateful to all members of these committees for their time and efforts. Special thanks to Tamer Özsu, the general programme chair of this year’s conference; also Kyu-Young Whang, who served as the VLDB Endowment liaison. Their spirit of cooperation throughout was invaluable. Of course, the technical programme is not the only attraction of this year’s conference. The conference hotel is located in the core downtown area of Toronto, within walking distance of museums, parks, shopping areas and tourist attractions such as the CN tower, the Harbourfront or Lake Ontario. Toronto has been called the most multicultural city in the world and while here, you will have the opportunity to visit neighborhoods that have the distinctive ethnic flavour of parts of the Far East and Europe. More than that, Toronto is a well-run, safe city that visitors enjoy visiting and revisiting. Welcome to VLDB’04 and Toronto. We hope that you enjoy both the technical programme and the city!! John Mylopoulos General Chair, VLDB’04 VLDB 2004 3 TORONTO - CANADA WELCOME TO VLDB 2004 WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE TECHNICAL PROGRAM CHAIRS Welcome to the 30th International Conference on Very Large Databases (VLDB'04). VLDB Conferences are among the premier database meetings for dissemination of research results and for the exchange of latest ideas in the development and practice of database technology. The program includes two keynote talks, a 10-year award presentation, 81 research papers, 26 industrial papers (9 of which are invited), 5 tutorials, 2 panels and 34 demonstrations. It is a very rich program indeed. This year we witnessed a significant jump of submissions. There were 504 research and industrial paper submissions, accounting for about 10% increase over last year and about 7% increase over 2002. Consequently, the competition was fierce with an acceptance rate of 16.1% for research papers and about 40% for industrial papers. The technical program is the result of efforts by a large group of people. Three Program Committees were formed along themes (core database, infrastructure for information systems, and industrial and applications) consisting of 137 colleagues, each of whom reviewed about 13 papers. Raymond Ng and Matthias Jarke handled the tutorials, Jarek Gryz and Fred Lochovsky selected the panels, Bettina Kemme and David Toman assembled the demonstrations program. We thank them all for helping us put together an exciting program. M. Tamer Özsu Donald Kossmann Renée J. Miller José A.

  • Private Bankers in Ontario Hayseed Capitalists: Private Bankers in Ontario
    HAYSEED CAPITALISTS: PRIVATE BANKERS IN ONTARIO HAYSEED CAPITALISTS: PRIVATE BANKERS IN ONTARIO by STEPHEN EDWARD mORNING, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University August, 1994 -- -- --- - --------------- DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (1994) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Hayseed Capitalists: Private Bankers in Ontario AUTHOR: Stephen Edward Thorning, B.A. (University of Guelph) M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVJSOR: Professor John C. Weaver NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 502 ii ABSTRACT The structure of the Canadian banking system, and the establishment of strong chartered banks at a relatively early stage, have overshadowed banking institutions that operated outside the chartered system. The non-chartered or private banks can be categorized into three groups: the joint stock banks of the 1830s, the urban private bankers who appeared in the 1850s and after, and the small-town private banks of the post-1868 period. AJI three types of private banks were established to fill perceived niches in the chartered bank system. Those of the 1830s possessed an anti-establishment, hinterland bias. The urban private bankers specialized in savings and foreign exchange transactions, and often branched out into insurance, debentures, and ultimately stocks and bonds. The small town private banks began and prospered when the needs of small hinterland communities outpaced the inclination and ability of chartered banks to provide them with banking facilities. Unlike the urban private bankers, those in small towns offered a full range of banking services, and they often acted as insurance and real estate agencies as well.

  • An Architectural Chronicle, 1829-1964
    The architectural and historical research staff of the CIHB annually prepares about 25 research papers on buildings under consideration for national commemoration by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. Wider studies are also conducted into the history of functional types of buildings such as court houses and town halls, the definition of Canadian architectural style and the analysis of Canadian construction technology. In order to complete these short and long term projects CHIB's architectural historians and analysts must draw from a number of locations including local, municipal, provincial and federal offices, museums and archives and from records held by private companies and citizens. The principal sources required for building research already available from these repositories include municipal and county records, building contracts and specifications, Public Works and/or Chief Architects' records in federal and provincial governments, business and private papers of architects and contractors, magazines, newspapers, city directories and visual documentation including building plans and elevations, maps, both historical and modern, photographs, prints, birds' eye views and fire insurance atlases. While these sources are far from exhaustive (or exhausted), Canadian archives must radically increase their acquisition of other material if the future needs of architectural research are to be met. Besides ferreting out papers of architects, builders, contractors and craftsmen, archives should establish contact with existing companies and individuals to emphasize the value of record preservation. The "how to" world of historical trade journals, building supply catalogues, construction pamphlets, architectural pattern books and carpenters', engineers' and mechanics' handbooks also deserves further attention by archivists. More private letters, diaries, trade bills and account books dealing with buildings under construction should be preserved.

  • TINKER, TORY, WOBBLER, WHY? the Political Economy
    TINKER, TORY, WOBBLER, WHY? The Political Economy of Electricity Restructuring in Ontario, 1995-2003 by CHARLES FRANCIS JAMES MARTIN A thesis submitted to the Department of Political Studies in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen's University Kingston, Ontario, Canada August 2007 Copyright © Charles Francis James Martin 2007 ii ABSTRACT The Ontario Tories' 42-year hegemony in government (1943-1985) was wrought through clever policies which often utilized Crown institutions to promote prosperity or to oblige or mollify vying interests. Ousted in 1985, though, they used their time in opposition to revise the Tory doctrine. In the 1995 election, the Tories emerged a tougher, more truculent group quite unlike their predecessors. Campaigning on their Common Sense Revolution (CSR) platform, they promised to eliminate red tape and vowed to obliterate all ostensible economic barriers which were impeding commerce in the province. In the CSR, the Tories identified Ontario Hydro (OH), the province's lauded publicly-owned power monopoly, as a troublesome and inefficient Crown entity which required fundamental reform. Portions of OH, they hinted, would likely be sold. Once elected, the Tories worked hurriedly to demolish OH and destroy public power in Ontario. For nearly 100 years, OH proved a pivotal component within the province's political economy for its provision of affordable, reliable power and its function as a policy tool to incite and direct development. A Tory government fought to instigate public power in the early 1900s and, in the late 1900s, a Tory government was fighting vigorously to rescind it. Why would they now renounce Crown power? It is the intent of this thesis to elucidate the Tory government's involvement in the transformation of Ontario's electricity industry from 1995 to 2003.

  • Casa Loma and the Gothic Imagination
    Peter Coffman Casa Loma and the Gothic Imagination n 1911 , Sir H enry Pell att commissioned the architect E.J . I Lennox to build him a new house. ' The result was the most ex­ travagant hom e that Toronto would ever see (fig. 1 ). Most Torontonians would say that Casa Loma has a great deal to an­ swer for. In a conservati ve, p olite city that has always valued dis­ creet understatement, Casa Lorna is neither conservati ve, polite, discreet, nor understated . Locals tend to regard it as som ething of a joke, or simply as a huge fake. Moreover, Casa Loma has been all but ignored by scholars.' Even Marilyn Litvak's biogra­ phy of Lennox never addresses the questi on of why Pell att and Lennox decided to build a medieval castl e in Toronto 3 Roger Hall's review of Litvak's book in the Globe an d Mail newspa per Fig. 1. Casa Lorna, from the northwest. refers simply to "the whatever-it-is-eclecticism of Casa Lom a."' (Photo: Peter Coffman) The purpose of the present p aper is neither to praise Casa Loma nor to bury it, but to give some substance to that "wha tever-it-is" by setting it into an appropriate architectural and intell ectual contex t. The key lies in identifying Casa Lorn a's true architectural lineage. The noti on that Casa Lorna is a "fake" is rooted in a mis­ understanding of that lineage; it assumes that Casa Loma is a fake medieval castl e. A "fake," however, must be meant to fool someone, and Casa Loma could never have been intended to fool anyone.

    HCBC ARMORY AND LINEAGES OF CANADA Comprising the Lineage of Prominent and Pioneer Canadians with Descriptions and Illustrations of their Coat Armor, Orders of Knighthood, or other Official Insignia. BY HERBERT GEORGE TODD HERBERT GEORGE TODD, Editor 39 EAST 42nd STREET NEW YORK Copyright, 1913 hy Herbert Qeorge Todd FROM THE PRESS OF THE NYVALL PRINT. 1876 BROADWAY. NEW YORK PREFACE T^HE purpose of this work is to give a short sketch of the lineage * of prominent persons in Canada to-day, with notes of anything of interest or importance regarding any ancestor, and especially to record, briefly but permanently, the achievements of those who, having served their country with distinction, have passed away, but whose names should not be dropped or their deeds forgotten, as is necessarily the case in reference works the scope of which is limited to the living. It was intended at first to confine the work to families of early settlers; but it cannot be overlooked that Canada, though old in tradition, is yet, in its broad expanse, but a new country, whose citizenship is constantly being augmented by new comers from the older stock of the mother lands. The scope of the work, therefore, will include those who, however recent, are intentionally residents in Canada. The work will portray the armorials of such of the families herein em- braced as have coat-armour and are accustomed to use it, for the recognition and preservation of those cognizances borne by our forefathers lend to enhance the interest and value of family history. The Heraldic Addenda contain the arms of notables connected with the events in Acadia, New France, and the two Canadas.

The backgrounds of the builder of Casa Loma , the castle itself, and the organ will be covered separately so that the reader may gain the proper perspective of this magnificent under­ taking. THE MAN: Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, CVO, DCL, VD. The builder of Casa Loma was an extremely wealthy man - he had to be! The landmark which he created stupifies the imagination in all areas: cost, magnitude, quality of construction and furnishings. Sir Henry was born on January 9, 1859 in Kingston, Ontario and spent his life as a resident of that city and on farms he owned nearby in King and Whitby. His father had come from England and was a senior partner in the brokerage firm of Pel!att and Osler. The son, after attending Upper Canada College, went directly into his father's firm and his business career began when he was fifteen years of age! The firm was eventually dissolved, and father and son established Pellatt and Pellatt. The son began to make some very shrewd investments, the greatest being his acquisition of stock in the Northwest Land Company at a time when few businessmen had faith in the northwest.

  • The Ontario Experiment: Hydroelectricity, Public Ownership, and Transnational Progressivism, 1906-1939
    The Ontario Experiment: Hydroelectricity, Public Ownership, and Transnational Progressivism, 1906-1939 by Mark McIntosh Sholdice A thesis presented to the University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History Guelph, Ontario Canada © Mark Sholdice, January 2019 ABSTRACT THE ONTARIO EXPERIMENT: HYDROELECTRICITY, PUBLIC OWNERSHIP, AND TRANSNATIONAL PROGRESSIVISM, 1906-1939 Mark Sholdice Advisor: University of Guelph, 2019 Professor Alan Gordon The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario (HEPCO) has been studied as a major factor in the province’s economic development and domestic politics, but its central place in international policy debates has been less recognized. This dissertation argues that the HEPCO should be understood within the contexts of progressivism and transnationalism. The commission was a characteristic product of the international Progressive Era, meant to address fears of monopoly capitalism and social inequalities, alongside regional economic underdevelopment. The HEPCO must also be understood in transnational terms, as it came to influence and was influenced by debates over the public ownership and regulation of electricity in the United States during the Progressive Era. This transnational influence was uneven but cumulative: over time, American progressives became more comfortable and familiar with the commission, and increasingly used it as a model for their policy proposals, just as the private electricity industry regularly vilified it. American progressives’ interest in the commission began in the 1910s and 1920s, aided by classic “vectors of diffusion” such as individual promoters, conferences, and fact-finding trips to Ontario. The “Ontario experiment,” as it came to be known, increasingly served as a model, such as in New York State, where it influenced Franklin D.

Is there, then, a special way in which Canadians are committed to the idea of survival? That such a commitment has shaped our literature is one of the basic themes of Margaret Atwood's first critical work, Survival (Anansi, $3.25), in which, following the example of Northrop Frye in The Bush Garden and D. G. Jones in Butterfly on Rock, she outlines yet another schematic view of the nature of writing in Canada. There can be no doubt of Margaret Atwood's qualifications for this kind of task. In less than a decade since her first book of verse appeared (other than a brief pamphlet in 1961 ) she has established herself as one of the leading poets of this country, and her two novels, The Edible Woman and Surfacing, have ex- tended into wider frames that extraordinary intellectual clairvoyance which has enabled her to see so many human predicaments with a lucidity that many people find distressing because it endangers their images of a safe life.
