"This is why it's so important to go out and vote!"
It is important to vote so that the elected politicians are what the electorate wants and is better represented.

"Why can't current political leadership not see the enormous potential of the Ring of Fire and the entire northwestern Ontario,"

Because we vote in not very competent people. Why else?

These non-competants spend our money on commities insted of learning for themselves what and who they represent in government. That is a sign of lack of leadership skills.

Sorry folks, this is not quite on topic for this forum but I can not resist.
