Ontario Getting Involved in Toll Threat

The Ontario government is promoting a need for continued dialogue with Couchiching First Nations
Aboriginal Affairs Minister Chris Bentley says the province is open to ongoing talks instead of the band moving ahead with a planned toll booth on Highway 11 to back demands.
The federal government has also indicated a willingness to talk, but there’s no indication that any meetings have actually been set up.
Couchiching has cited a number of reasons for the May 21st toll, including the lack of compensation for land used to build the highway through its community.
