McKay on the Campaign Trail

The official start to the provincial election is still a few days away, but that hasn't stopped candidates in Kenora-Rainy River from stumping for votes.

Progressive Conservative candidate Rod McKay was in Fort Frances yesterday to speak to party faithful and area business leaders.

"Basically the north, we get ignored in so many ways," says McKay. "We have policies that are set in Toronto that dramatically effect the way we live and the way we operate in northern Ontario with no consideration for the impact of those decisions. That's one of the reasons why I want to win this election and try to make some change in that area.

McKay also wants to help break down barriers that hurt area businesses to be competitive.
