Don't Short Change Thunder Bay

NDP Leader Andrea Hogarth  announcing support for Thunder Bay during flood June 2012

Sadly the committee came up short, managing to raise 1.2 million dollars which was disappointment to many. The next disappointment came when the provincial government announced that would only give 20 cents for every dollar raise, instead of the 2 dollar match that had previously been promised.

Yesterday, however, both NDP Leader Andrea who promised that “Thunder Bay will not be forgotten” and Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne brought up the issue in the Ontario house of commons. Both Leaders demanded to know why Thunder Bay is being “shortchanged”, and why the government is not giving the promised amount to a city that is still struggling. The video was released on youtube and has over 120 views already considering it is an Ontario Caucasus meeting, which are not the most popular video's on the site.
