It's so bad that we have little time to focus on federal issues.
As for our population issues, there really isn't anywhere in Northern Ontario seeing continuous population growth. The best hope in the future for growth will likely be for Sudbury and North Bay because of their proximity to large markets and connections with 4-lane divided highways.
We are a large gap between the East and West in Canada and many opportunities here are squandered and/or prevented by outside forces. Many people here are saying "give me a break" when they see Albertans complaining because here we have TWO levels of government who often aren't working in our best interests. At least in Alberta they don't ALWAYS have that.
