When did Ontario become a province?
The Province of Ontario came into existence on July 1, 1867, the date of Confederation. The pre-Confederation Province of Canada was severed into the provinces of Ontario and Quebec in order to reflect the conflicting political interests of the English-speaking inhabitants of the region of Canada West, and the French speaking inhabitants of the region of Canada East, respectively.
This division reflects the earlier division of the original Province of Quebec - which was formed when Britain acquired the colony of Canada from France - into the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, which was done to allow those of English descent and those of French descent respectively to live by their respective laws and customs. They were reunited into the [United] Province of Canada by the Act of Union 1840under the hopes that it would help assimilate the French speakers, and in an attempt to strengthen British North America from US invasion.

Who is the leader of the party machine?
A "political" machine is a local or state political organization that is successfull at winning elections, in many cases by unfair use of the political process. The "machine" influences party leaders and party members and is headed by a "Boss." The boss hands out favors to keep the "members" in line and to make sure they "get out the vote" during elections. Perhaps the most famous of the American political machines was Tammany Hall, the name for the Democratic political machine run by "Boss Tweed" in the late 19th centrury. The organizational leader of a political party (like the Democrats or the Republicans) is simply known as the Chairman of the Party. MrV

Not entirely. It is really more of a drama, because it is only on once a week and most soap operas tend to be on 3-5 times a week, also soap operas have omnibuses (a replay of all the weeks' episodes in one) on the weekend, Waterloo Road doesn't do this, also Waterloo Road has series and episodes and it is also available to buy on DVD, but to the likes of Coronation Street, it doesn't sell any of it's episodes in series (unless it is a very special episode eg. The Tram Crash).
Hope this helps!
