NDP CANDIDATE MEETS COUNCIL
By Glenna Burns
Sean Conway, the New Democratic Party provincial candidate for the Peterborough-Kawartha riding met Trent Lakes Council at their regular May 15 meeting. After introducing himself as a member of Curve Lake First Nations, a Peterborough resident and small business manager, the enthusiastic and well-spoken candidate asked council what issues were important to Trent Lakes citizens. Councillor Peter Raymond outlined three areas of concern: public transportation, health care, and hydro bills. Conway pointed out that the former Mike Harris government (Conservative) downloaded transportation costs, including roads to the municipalities. The NDP party platform promises to return 50 percent of that funding. He also cited the Curve Lake First Nation public transit model that Conway thinks would work for areas like Buckhorn with provincial funding. Conway explained that a big factor in rising health care costs and hospital crowding is coming from a lack of universal dental care. He said that the NDP platform outlines how universal dental care would help reduce costs and improve health. Electricity costs have been a common beef for years in Ontario. Once again Conway blamed the former Harris government for beginning the process of selling off the distribution of electricity to private corporations. Rural Ontarians pay more for hydro electricity because of this. Conway told council the NDP plan is to get back this part of hydro electricity distribution, which will lower costs for rural users. Policing costs have become the burden of every municipality since the downloading years ago. Conway
