A Progressive Conservative member of the Ontario legislature thinks Toronto should become its own province.
The member for Bruce-Grey-Owen-Sound, Bill Murdoch, made the radical proposition at a meeting of the Bruce County Federation of Agriculture.
He says rural Ontario is fighting a losing battle against what he calls "a Toronto mentality.''
Murdoch says Toronto decision-makers ignore rural voices and create policies that hurt agriculture and hamper rural food processors.
Murdoch says making Toronto the eleventh province is the only way rural Ontario will get a voice.
