To the editor:
I'm writing in response to the article,"Bold Prediction" regarding the Ring of Fire mining boom. I appreciate Keith Hobbs's enthusiasm and certainly agree with him that Thunder Bay is the true capital of Northern Ontario, but the reality is that the Ring of Fire project will be another case of Southern Ontario taking resources out of the North and giving nothing back.
Ontario produces about $10 billion worth of minerals per year. Why then are Northern taxpayers treated like second class citizens, forced to resort to begging for doctors and money for roads and bridges? I have zero confidence that there will be any provincial money put back into our area as a result of this project. I'll believe it when I see it.
