If you are on Linux you can run: lynx -dump -source
http://ontario.ca/mininglands

Which shows some html and within it:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;
URL=/mbs/keywords/keywords.nsf/GoTo/mininglands?OpenDocument">

Which in turn, redirects to:
http://www.mndm.gov.on.ca/mndm/mines/lands/default_e.asp

BTW, there is some very weird stuff there...

A better thing to do is to modify the header using a php code like this:
<?php header('Location:
http://www.keywords.gov.on.ca/mbs/keywords/keywords.nsf/redirect?readform&kywrd=mininglands');
?>
