Gravelle said, “It’s too little, too late for Doug Ford and the Conservatives to claim they have Northern Ontario’s back now.They voted against boosting our Northern Health Travel Grant by $10 million to help people traveling long distances to access specialized medical care. They voted against increasing funding for the ONTC bus service to buy more buses and increase service to more communities. They voted against establishing a basic income pilot in my hometown of Thunder Bay. And they voted against our $1 billion commitment to get shovels in the ground and build all-season road access to the Ring of Fire.  The Conservatives have a consistent record of voting against what matters most to Northerners.  Our Ontario Liberal team has three Cabinet Ministers, including myself, who call Northern Ontario home and we’re at the table for every discussion and every decision.”

If this is true why is Ford changing direction now and being all nicey nicey to the people in the north?  Because he wants/needs the votes! It’s too early for me to judge but I think this is a lot of political bull, just telling the masses what they want to hear to get the vote.  I for one will be scrutinizing every word of the party leaders to try to determine who is really going to light the ring and not just wave the match.   That’s who will get my vote.
