The leader of the Northern Ontario party is calling for the resignation of Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi.
The Liberal member continues to face the heat after he was heard in the Legislature referring to northern Ontario as “No Mans Land”.
Trevor Holliday says the comments by Rinaldi are an insult to our residents, but also shows the lack of respect to our First Nations who had many of their traditional lands stripped from them when the province was first being formed.
Holliday notes the government continues to ignore the north and the comments show their total and utter disrespect for the region.
He adds at Queen’s Park, the north is just seen as a nuisance with no value other than a place to dump their nuclear waste.
Holliday says he won’t site idle while the government treats us like second class citizens.
He’s also calling on Premier Kathleen Wynne to issue an apology.
