Recent Covid 19 Epidemic created severe changes to the health and welfare throughout the entire world. Millions of people were infected and hundreds of thousands passed away. This created major downgrading to most economies. Russia invaded the Country of Ukraine, which had produced major food supplies and consumables for the world. Russia continues to totally destroy this counties infrastructure and have tortured, killed thousands of women, men and children. Russia may consider using nuclear warheads if any country gets directly involved with this conflict.

Recently, Canada has some Provinces that want to have more independence from the Federal Government in Ottawa. Future Canadian Confederation ?

Now, the Federal Government is proposing to make electoral boundary changes, thus reducing the number of Northern Ontario Ridings from 10 to 9 , reducing our voice and providing less effective and minimal representation and funds.

Nickel Belt would become Manitoulin Nickel Belt which includes a very large riding stretching from the USA border East , encompassing Manitoulin Island, French River, Noelville, Espanola, Elliot and more outlying areas. Sudbury will also have minor changes.

Our Provincial Government changed the landscape in the Sudbury Area in 2000. All outlying towns in the area, had to be amalgamated with the City of Sudbury creating twelve wards, One City One Service, known as Greater City of Sudbury. Since amalgamation residents have suffered with shortfalls and inequalities. Infrastructure deficit is over Two Billion Dollars and increasing, outrageous increase in taxes with reduced services throughout all areas.

We the residents of Northern Ontario are not in favour, regarding this proposed change. Northern Ontario encourages people to relocate to our area, not leave. Thank You.
