A proposal to raise gas taxes and the GST in Ontario to pay for mass transit in the Toronto area is getting the cold shoulder in northwestern Ontario.Yesterday Metrolinx suggest a five cent a liter increase in the gas tax and a one percent increase in the GST to help ease traffic congestion in the Golden Horseshoe area.
Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell says the government needs to see the issues facing the entire province not just the GTA.
Campbell says the government needs to find ways to fund infrastructure that's fair for everyone.
Kenora Mayor Dave Canfield says the province has already made gas prices too high and doesn't need
another increase.
