Despite public outcry, the Nickel Belt riding will become Manitoulin-Nickel Belt, not only erasing a Northern Ontario seat, but also limiting representation for Francophone and Indigenous people, MP says
On Feb. 10, the Federal Electoral Commission released its highly anticipated final report for the Province of Ontario. The report highlights impactful changes for Northern Ontario.
However, once again Northeastern Ontario was sacrificed in favour of a growing population in Southern Ontario. Northwestern Ontario was spared, maintaining the three seats that it previously held. The Nickel Belt region had one of the highest number of submissions to the Federal Electoral Commission in the province. Most of the submissions were in opposition to the commission’s proposed boundary changes.
Despite that win, I have heard from residents in Wanup, Wahnapitae, Coniston, Garson, Falconbridge and Skead who are unhappy with their communities being shifted to the Sudbury riding, and once again excluding the Francophone residents within those communities, particularly in Coniston and Garson.
