Safer Roads Are Not Optional
Northerners are tired of unsafe road conditions, prolonged closures, and preventable collisions. Public safety is not optional — it is a basic obligation of government.
MPP Guy Bourgouin has introduced multiple legislative proposals to improve road safety in Northern Ontario. These are practical, necessary measures that would save lives. Ford’s Conservatives have refused to adopt them — and have failed to introduce any alternatives of their own.
Even more troubling, Conservative MPPs representing Northern communities have remained silent as our concerns go unanswered. Northerners are being ignored while conditions on our highways continue to put families, workers, and first responders at risk.
If the government will not act on its own, Northerners must hold them accountable.
Use the tools below. Raise your voice. Make it impossible to ignore us.
