Over the last 5 years, Northern Ontario has continued to lose population under the Wynne’s government. The latest census data have shown that Northern Ontario has lost over 2600 of its residents in the last 5 years. Kirkland Lake has suffered the greatest loss with a decline of approximately 6 % of its population, followed closely by Elliot Lake with 5.3 % of its population leaving. This is compared to Southern Ontario who population has increased dramatically during the same time span. Toronto’s population increased by 4.5 percent and the fastest growth has been seen in the GTA’s commuter cities of Shelburne, Milton and Bradford. Where they saw their population increase by over 25%. Why is Northern Ontario’s population shrinking when the population …show more content…
We are being starved and robbed from every time the 3 establishment based parties are voted in. They all give false hope when they say and I quote. They say they will shine a light on the issues. We say enough with the smoke and mirrors. When you keep robbing from and treating us as a colony, then many will move to find the jobs. Another alternative is they move away because of the unaffordable cost of living due to the colder weather of Northern Ontario. When will they listen? Simple answer is NOT one of the big parties will grow a set and commit to Northern Ontario's future. Resource manufacturing needs to be here! Hydro needs to be at cost! Healthcare and education need to be maximized. Think of the costs that are associated with the hospitals running here with less and less funding and staff. Yet thousands are paid, for the travel grants for Northerners to travel for medical. This in turn forces them to take uncomfortable transportation (if there is any) when they are in excruciating pain. Therefore, there is one simple fix. Northern Ontario needs to finally be treated like a people and deserve to be heard. This is why the Northern Ontario Party is here and the only party who demands its candidates to represent the voters first! The documentary "The Hole Story" explains in depth on how the establishment has robbed from Northern Ontario with the least investment
Remember when the liberals promised to the additional medical services that never happened? Did you know that there are still only 27 doctors/100,000 people in Nunavut? This is clearly not enough and since we know that, we will send more physician! You see?Justin Trudeau and the liberals don't get it or know how it feels because they aren't in the same case but we are different and we will make an actual change.

Ontario is such a vast province that many of its residents often refer to it as two separate entities: Southern Ontario and Northern Ontario. While these divisions may share a name and capital city, the similarities between them seemingly end there. Southern Ontario consists of millions of people from different cultures over-crowding towns like Cobourg, cities like Kingston, and metropolises like Toronto. Congestion on the 400 series highways and "Super" schools are a natural occurrence for many in the South. Northern Ontario is made up of a limited number of people, mainly of First Nations and French descent, living and working in small rural towns like Geraldton and cities like Thunder Bay. Barren, unmaintained "bush" roads, and schools of less than 200 students, are the way of life for the people of the North. Summer time in Southern Ontario is long, hot and humid;
It has now been over two, and a half years since us citizens have decided to nominate Justin Pierre James Trudeau as the 23rd Prime Minister of Canada. Justin Trudeau may be an appealing Prime Minister to many, but many Canadians are failing to understand that he is forbidding Canada to propel forward and to meet its true potential in many facets. Not many actions Justin Trudeau raised have affected Canada vastly in the past two years, at least not for the good. Trudeau has also been operating in contrast to his pledges such as the tax promises. ( Financial Post, 27 Sept. 2017.) Ever since November 2015 (when Trudeau was elected), citizens (especially middle class) had high hopes, and were lead to dismay, and over the course of time, began
The issue of electoral reform has become more important than ever in Canada in recent years as the general public has come to realize that our current first-past-the-post, winner-take-all system, formally known as single-member plurality (SMP) has produced majority governments of questionable legitimacy. Of the major democracies in the world, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom are the only countries that still have SMP systems in place. Interestingly enough, there has been enormous political tension and division in the last few years in these countries, culminating with the election results in Canada and the USA this year that polarized both countries. In the last year we have seen
These challenges include unstable economic conditions, especially for communities tied to natural resources as was seen in the forest sector crisis. Also, limited employment opportunities often lead to youth out-migration and higher proportions of seniors. According to the analysis of 2001 Census data for migration, it was shown that communities with the lowest percentage of in-migrants tend to be Aboriginal and forest dependent, while communities with the highest percentage of in-migrants are in the southern parts of the region and based on mining. The Census Research stated that the economic growth in Northern Ontario has been significantly less than the provincial due to the declining of the population. The Northern Ontario’s population density is described as 1 person per kilometer, while Southern Ontario’s population density is 104 people per kilometer. Another major obstacle that faces the enterprises as well as the residents of Northern Ontario is the geographical isolation. There is a limited transportation options, and infrastructure constraints. There are many issues over high gas prices as well as high air transportation
Since the beginning of Canadian history, regionalism has had a prominent effect on the country`s political system. The concept of regionalism can be defined as a political ideology grounded on a shared sense of place or attachment and is discussed in terms of Canadian society, culture, economy and politics.1 From the days of confederation, Canada has developed into regional cleavages and identities based on various geographical characteristics, traditional lifestyles and economic interests. Two of Canada`s greatest regionally distinct political cultures are known as Western alienation and Quebec nationalism.2 Historically, the lack of regional awareness and accommodation within Canada’s central government has given rise to a great deal

Detroit, once the New York City of its time, nick named the “Motor City” as it contained one of the leading car manufacturing centers of the automobile industry. As a metropolis for the first half of the twentieth century, Post World War II, Detroit became an economic fortress and focal point in American History. Detroit’s economic stronghold placed the city in a position that was once beneficial. From the surging employment opportunities perpetuated by the booming automotive market to the development, and implementation of substandard housing and the casual labor market, Detroit became the land of opportunity that loomed with an air of new beginnings. Today, however, Detroit continues to reap the aftermath of contradictory political
This policy memo is addressed to Congressman David Joyce who represents the 14th District of Ohio. Congressman Joyce is a Republican who could be considered a moderate conservative on an ideological scale, meaning that he is about halfway between moderate and far-leaning right (Rep. David Joyce, 2016). Issues that Joyce works toward are the economy and jobs, which is his number one priority, and is also against regulations and taxes. Joyce is heavily involved in energy with a focus on supporting the coal, wind, and natural gas industries, in addition he is against policies that may burden small businesses. The Great Lakes and environment are a priority for Joyce as he wants to protect the Great Lakes, but mainly for economic purposes. Joyce has sponsored three bills that work to protect and/or restore the Great Lakes. He has not been vocal in regards to whether or not he believes in climate change, although his stance toward coal and natural gas would suggest that he may not, although this may be solely to protect Ohioan jobs. Additional issues that he works toward are defense & national security, health care, the national debt, tax reform, veterans, and seniors (Issues & Legislation, 2016).

Each and every one of the world's many nations is unique in its own way. No two nations are the same in terms of the way they live. Whether it is driving on the right or left side of the road, pronouncing words a certain way or using hand gestures to communicate different meanings, each nation of the world has something that allows it to stand out. This uniqueness can come from certain religions, cultural practices, geography, history or from a multitude of other reasons. Despite this, a unique nation usually gains its originality and identity from its people. The way the people interact, live, work, play and have come to exist dictate how others perceive them as a culture. Canada is a provocative country with a divergent population.
Where I live is one of the greatest neighborhoods in the city to live in; however it does have its draw backs. Importantly it has nearly everything a resident might want, beautiful picturesque scenery, proximity to shopping, and many of the cultural centers. Nevertheless the roads can be some of the most congested in town, and the streets are not safe to walk late at night.
