A Toronto journalist who is critical of two new ridings proposed for Northern Ontario is being criticized by the Northern Ontario Party. Josh Dehaas says the two ridings, which will be mostly be made up of First Nation communities, will dilute the vote of Torontonians. Dehaas says the newer ridings will have a smaller population but just as much say. However the NOP dismisses this argument. The party also has no problem with First Nations having more representation at Queen’s Park. The NOP says Dehaas seems to belittle the new ridings because of the fact they will have mostly First Nation people.
