Support separation

Dear sir:
This letter is directed to all northerners whether or not you have strong views regarding the cancellation of the spring bear hunt.
Premier Mike Harris and company sold us out for votes, without a doubt. What is their next move? All of our hunting and fishing rights? Why not! They have shown their true colours with respect to how much input we have in their decision affecting Northern Ontario.
Another frightening aspect of this whole mess is the utter abandonment by our own elected member, Howard Hampton, who has publicly stated that he agrees with the cancellation of the hunt.
How can this be? Isn’t this guy supposed to be looking after his constituents’ interests? Apparently not!
Perhaps as northerners, we should be giving serious consideration to Robert Woito of Marathon, who is attempting to sever Northern Ontario politically from the south. I have received a letter from him, and although he is not a politician himself, he is prepared to support competent people who will make a move towards separation of Northern Ontario from the south, and failing that, to establish a “regional government” that will deal with northern issues.
I, for one, will help to do everything possible to dethrone those pompous bureaucrats who are so intent on destroying the northern way of life.
Anyone interested may write to Mr. Woito at Northern Ontario Coalition, P.O. Box 603, Marathon, Ont., P0T 2E0, or e-mail rwoito@marathon.lakeheadu.ca
Yours truly,
H.F. Bell
