Well, that's all very impressive, however, if this is a point of
national pride, perhaps they should check a map because Oil Springs is
in southEASTERN, Ontario. *I'd hate for all of that celebratory
Labatts and back bacon to go to waste because people were driving
aimlessly around the wrong part of the Province! *:-)


Speaking of aimless....

Now clicky on Lambton County.. there you will find Oil Springs... in
SOUTH WESTERN ONTARIO.
I live 30 KM from there...


Do you have a Tates compass? Maybe that explains why you're lost.
After all, he who has a Tates, is lost.


Actually the village is in the WESTERN part of the Niagara Peninsula
which is in EASTERN Ontario.

Right, David... *pats him on the head*... now Google for South Western
Ontario's cities..see what you get, and where it gets you.
