Today, Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown and Ontario PC Northern MPPs Vic Fedeli (Nipissing) and Ross Romano (Sault Ste. Marie) wrote to MPP Lou Rinaldi and invited him to visit beautiful, opportunity-filled Northern Ontario.<\/p>\n
Lou Rinaldi has been coming under fire at Queen\u2019s Park for referring to Northern Ontario as \u201cNo Man\u2019s Land.\u201d He has since refused to apologize, and has challenged PC MPPs to \u201ctake it outside\u201d for bringing it up during Question Period.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile I\u2019m disappointed that MPP Rinaldi has neglected to apologize for his hurtful comments referring to Northern Ontario as \u2018No Man\u2019s Land,\u2019 it\u2019s time we turn this negative story into a positive,\u201d wrote Brown in his letter to Premier Wynne and MPP Rinaldi. \u201cThat\u2019s why, on behalf of Northern Ontario PC MPPs, I\u2019m taking this opportunity to personally invite MPP Rinaldi to come visit Northern Ontario and see everything it has to offer. I suspect that after witnessing Northern hospitality firsthand, your views on the region will change for the better.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe North, especially my riding of Nipissing, has so much to offer,\u201d added Fedeli in a separate letter. \u201cNipissing truly has a limitless potential in many fields, from tourism to resource development and well beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why, on behalf of my constituents and with the permission of the Premier, I\u2019m taking this opportunity to personally invite MPP Rinaldi to come visit Nipissing to paddle the Lavase River with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are a city filled with wonderful tourist attractions that serve to promote our history as one of the oldest cities in the country,\u201d added Romano who detailed some of Sault Ste. Marie\u2019s history in his invitation.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you can see, my home of Sault Ste. Marie has so much to offer to the rest of Ontario and the world. That is why, on behalf of my constituents and with the permission of the Premier, I would like to take this opportunity to invite MPP Rinaldi to join me in my constituency,\u201d Romano concluded. \u201cI suspect that after this experience, MPP Rinaldi will have a greater appreciation of this region than before.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
