Black Sees Empire Diminished

The plot is like something out of a Mordecai Richler novel. Sharp-eyed, compulsive-smoking Jewish guy from, of all places, small-town Manitoba goes nose to nose with equally sharp-eyed, private-school-educated WASP from Toronto for the big enchilada.This article was originally published in Maclean's Magazine on August 14, 2000

BlackBerry Limited

BlackBerry Limited (formerly Research In Motion) is a mobile communications company. Founded in 1984 by Mike Lazaridis and Doug Fregin in Waterloo, Ontario, the company released its first device — a pager capable of email — in 1999. Following the release of its first smartphone in 2002, BlackBerrys quickly became must-have pieces of technology, first among business people and later the general public. However, in the early 2010s they struggled to keep pace with the competitive smartphone market. In 2016, the company announced it would outsource all hardware production to other companies, instead focusing on software development. Today, BlackBerry is credited with putting Waterloo on the map as an innovation hub. The business trades under the ticker BB on the Toronto Stock Exchange and BBRY on NASDAQ.

Blackout Hits Ontario and Seven US States

A voltage fluctuation in some Ohio transmission lines. Then, at 4:11 p.m. n a muggy August Thursday, a faster-than-you-can-blink reversal in the flow of current, suddenly sucking away a city's worth of power from the eastern half of the continent.

Blindness and Visual Impairment

In Canada, as well as in many other countries, blindness is defined in such a way as to include persons who have some sight. The expression 6/60 (20/200) means that persons considered legally blind must come within 6 m of an object in order to see it, while persons considered sighted (i.e., 6/6 vision, 20/20) can see that same object from 60 m. Persons with a visual field of less than 20 degrees in diameter are also considered legally blind in Canada. This definition of blindness provides a practical model for organizations such as social-service agencies, educational, medical and government institutions. The Canadian Council of the Blind reported that approximately 1.2 million Canadians were living with vision loss and blindness in 2019.
