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.
