How do we get northwestern Ontario issues on the radar at Queen's Park?
That was the topic at a panel discussion at the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association conference in Thunder Bay.

"I was very surprised to hear (municipal leaders) had given two standing ovations to Premier Dalton McGuinty," says Blizzard, "in light of the far north act that was passed against serious opposition from northwestern Ontario that the crowd could have been a lot more critical."
Others says northerners need to focus attention on a couple of key issues at one time.
