Statement by david wootton

As an Ontario taxpayer, I'm tired of all my tax money going to support Toronto. Now they want my money to build a casino in Toronto which will further destroy the economy of the Niagara region. It is long past due that this government spent some money in the rest of Ontario. I had to leave Ontario twice in my life to find employment and my son had to emigrate to New Zealand four years ago for the same reason. We need a government that will stimulate Hamilton's economy and I can't think of a better way than improving our transportation system by building LRT in Hamilton. Simultaneously, the government should be connecting all of our metropolitan areas with GO transit. It is absolutely ridiculous that the center of a metropolitan area of nearly 800 000 is no longer connected to the outside world by rail. 60 years ago as a child, I remember taking the train out of Hamilton. The McGuinty government does not have my vote until investments are made in Hamilton
