Now your talking Doug, Timmins should be the Northern capital of Ontario and the North should KEEP ALL its tax generated $$$$, this way we too could have new roads every few years and not a new road every 40 - 50 yrs. ya i know keep dreaming,we cant stop the Money leaches from bleeding the north dry of our resourses and our $$$$$.Its more important for Ottawa and Toronto to have that 6 lane road heading east and west than it is to have a 1 lane thats in decent condition go across the north,actually its pretty funny when you think about it, this road is known as the trans canada highway, unfortunately for the most part this road is a joke, full of cracks,potholes that can tear off a wheel even on tractors. Not saying its all bad but for the majority it is.
just my 3cents worth
