The high cost of living in northwestern Ontario has become the main concern for many area residents.
A poll conducted by Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty during a telephone town-hall meeting this week found most want Ottawa to make live more affordable.
"We've got a health tax. We've got HST. We've got an electronics's tax, an eco tax and of course, the price of electricity continues to rise," says Rafferty, "and so people are finding it very difficult to make ends meet."
Health Care and the Economy were ranked low by the 2,500 people who participated in the survey.
