...this bounty hasn't come worry free. The intricate Canada-U.S. grid that links energy producers and consumers--and that makes it so profitable for B.C. Hydro to transmit power south--is in growing disarray. The consequences could be even higher prices and more uncertain supplies for Canadians as well as Americans. "We need a stable energy system on the continent," says Ray Hart, deputy director of the Department of California Water Resources. "I don't know if we'll get it." In particular, rising doubts about deregulation could impede Canadian plans to finance increased energy production, which...
Canada and the U.S. are in a kind of energy symbiosis. In 1999 Canada exported more than 38 million MW hours, but the number has reached as high as 50 million in recent years. In turn, U.S. demand is an important factor in building many Canadian energy projects. The hunger for power in the Western U.S. spurred plans to build more than 4,000 MW of new generating capacity in Alberta over the next five years, and a dedicated transmission line south to capitalize on American demand has also been on the provincial wish list. Similarly, Ontario and Quebec...
What might have been a competent formulaic romance earns an added luster in A Student of Weather (Counterpoint; 368 pages; $24) thanks to Canadian author Elizabeth Hays' deft variations on and additions to familiar themes.

Maurice Dove ought to fall for the beautiful and virtuous Lucinda, who runs the household in place of her deceased mother, but it is Norma Joyce, plain and engagingly...
fifth in the conference with nine goals and 32 points.

The two Canadians are the only players in the conference who average more than two points a game...
...composer of Take Five claimed he wanted his alto saxophone to sound like a dry martini. Desmond's wish came true on this 1975 cool-jazz masterpiece, finally available on CD after two decades in limbo. Backed up by Canadian super-guitarist Ed Bickert, Desmond, who died in 1977, spins out long, pungent melodic lines that float through the air with luminous grace. Best of all is a slyly witty version of Things Ain't What They Used to Be that would have made Duke Ellington grin...
