Marando pitches northern investment in leadership bid
He would redirect funding from Highway 413 to northern roads and health care.
Ontario Liberal leadership candidate Dylan Marando says Northern Ontario should receive more health care funding per resident and more highway investment to meet needs he argues Queen’s Park is overlooking.
In an interview with the Miner and News, Marando outlined proposals he would pursue if he became premier, including a northern economic opportunity zone and a dedicated treatment centre in Northwestern Ontario.
The zone would offer lower personal and corporate income taxes, faster project approvals and higher per-capita investment in public services. Its boundaries and the details would be developed with northern communities.
“The north makes a unique economic contribution to our province, and that contribution isn’t always captured by the policy agenda of Queen’s Park.”
Marando said that consultation would include municipal leaders and representatives from the public and private sectors. He suggested communities north of the French River as one possible basis for the zone, rather than a settled boundary.
Northern highways
Marando would seek to twin as much of Highways 69, 11 and 17 as possible, while considering a 2+1 design where engineering challenges, costs or community concerns make twinning less practical.
He did not specify which stretches of Highways 11 and 17 would take priority or when construction would begin.
He said highway expansion would improve safety, access to services and the movement of goods. To help pay for it, he would redirect resources from Highway 413 and the proposed tunnel beneath Highway 401, neither of which he would pursue.
He also said major southern highway investments would wait until meaningful progress had been made on twinning the major northern routes.
“I’d rather start with twinning, twin as much as we can and then have 2+1 as the backup rather than the default.”
Marando acknowledged some communities may favour 2+1 as a faster or more affordable option and said he would be open to that approach where it meets local needs.
Health care and treatment
Marando said northern hospitals and other health care facilities need funding formulas that account for the higher cost of delivering services in northern and rural communities.
He would pair increased funding with provincial support for recruitment incentives and more opportunities to train health care workers through northern colleges and universities.
“Hospitals and other health care facilities in the north should expect an increase in funding.”
He said the workforce challenge extends beyond doctors and nurses to personal support workers, custodial and kitchen staff, clerical workers and other health professionals.
Asked about reliance on agency nurses and other temporary staff, Marando said the Ford government’s staffing and funding approach is hurting hospitals’ ability to recruit and sustain services. He did not outline a specific plan to replace agency staffing.
Marando also opposed the expansion of privately delivered, publicly funded health care and said he wants private, for-profit providers out of long-term care and seniors care.
“I would treat universality and public financing of our health care system as absolute bedrocks.”
According to the province, Ontario’s community surgical and diagnostic centres deliver OHIP-insured services outside hospitals and cannot charge patients for insured services. They may also offer uninsured services.
Marando’s platform calls for publicly funded psychotherapy, counselling, addiction treatment and other evidence-based mental health services under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan.
When asked whether he would support a dedicated treatment centre in Northwestern Ontario, he replied, “The short answer is absolutely.”
He said recruitment incentives and expanded northern training opportunities would help staff a centre, although he did not identify a location, opening date, or budget.
His addiction proposals also include banning online gambling, rather than only its advertising.
Housing and community safety
Marando said addressing homelessness requires more supportive, co-operative, non-profit and public housing, alongside mental health care and addiction treatment.
He would give Ontario municipalities revenue equivalent to one percentage point of the HST, describing it as permanent, predictable funding that would strengthen their ability to respond to local needs.
“There isn’t a neat and tidy answer to the challenge of homelessness.”
Asked about reducing crime beyond expanding jail capacity, Marando said his approach would focus on the opportunities available to young people, including keeping them in school, improving graduation rates and helping them move into post-secondary education and employment.
“Gangs don’t compete with other gangs. Gangs compete with our schools.”
He criticized government advertising promoting expanded jail capacity and said the province should work toward reducing the need for prisons.
Development and affordability
Asked to assess Greg Rickford’s performance as minister of Indigenous affairs and First Nations economic reconciliation, Marando declined to discuss his individual record. He instead criticized the Ford government’s focus on the Ring of Fire and its approach to consultation.
Marando said the province should pursue economic opportunities across the north and allow more time for Ring of Fire development if that is needed to build partnerships with First Nations.
The Ontario government says it has partnership agreements with Aroland, Webequie and Marten Falls First Nations as part of its Ring of Fire infrastructure plans, and describes First Nations as partners in northern development.
Marando said his proposal to speed up approvals would require more resources for consultation and regulatory review, not less.
“The speed that I’m talking about isn’t about cutting corners. It’s about devoting more resources to the consultative process and the regulatory approval process so that we can arrive at genuine partnership faster.”
On affordability, Marando proposes provincial income tax relief for Ontarians under 35 earning under $50,000. Asked what he would offer older residents, he pointed to extending rent controls to all buildings and sales tax relief on necessities such as internet and cellphone service.
He also proposed eliminating provincial corporate income tax for small businesses during their first five years of operation, saying he hopes they would pass some savings on to consumers.
Marando did not provide an overall cost or financing plan for his proposals during the interview. He identified cancelled southern highway projects as a source of funding for northern highway expansion.
The Ontario Liberal Party is scheduled to announce its next leader Nov. 21.

Feds investing $1 billion for road to Ring of Fire in Ontario: Carney
Feds investing $1 billion in road to Ring of Fire
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Christopher Katsarov
Prime Minister Mark Carney says his government is putting down $1 billion to help build the road to the mineral-rich Ring of Fire region in northern Ontario.
The region is said to be rich in nickel, chromite, copper and gold and Carney says it will secure Canada's critical mineral supply chain.
The area sits partially in the James Bay lowlands, part of North America's largest wetland, and is home to a number of remote, fly-in First Nations.
Earlier this year, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced construction had begun on two of the roads that will eventually connect the provincial highway system to the mining area some 500 kilometres north of Thunder Bay, Ont.
Ford had long called for the federal government to match his government's $1-billion investment in the road project.
The province has signed partnerships with three First Nations who want the road, while many others are decidedly against it.

12 livres de croissance personnelle qui pourraient changer ta vie
Tu as fini l'école et tu as aucune idée quoi faire du reste de ta vie? Perso, j'ai commencé à lire des livres de croissance personnelle au début de la vingtaine. Quand j'étais jeune, j'avais une confiance en moi inébranlable et je me voyais au volant de ma BM, vivant dans un condo au Vieux-Port à 25 ans. Yeah right.
Il y avait tellement un grand écart entre la vie que j'avais en tête et mon quotidien (cet article témoigne de mon emploi du temps) que je me suis mise à faire énormément d'angoisse et à me sentir déprimée.
Ça a l'air super cliché, mais la lecture de plusieurs livres de type «psycho pop» m'a vraiment aidée. Bien entendu, lire un livre du genre ne changera pas ta vie du jour au lendemain. En fait, ta motivation va être ultra haute durant les jours suivant la fin du livre...puis l'angoisse revient. J'ai réalisé que c'est la lecture de plusieurs ouvrages sur différents sujets, étalée sur plusieurs années, qui a rebâti mon estime personnelle et ma facilité au bonheur.
PS: L'erreur à ne pas faire est d'acheter des livres sur le bonheur. Il vient tout seul quand tu fais la paix avec toi-même et que ton mode te vie te rend heureuse.
Voici donc une compilation de livres que j'ai beaucoup aimés, en français et en anglais:
I Am That Girl d'Alexis Jones
Ce livre m'a fait comprendre à quel point il faut travailler FORT pour se rendre où on veut. La pensée magique que tu vas devenir directrice de j'sais pas trop quelle entreprise avant 30 ans en étant lazy AF, ben tu dois l'effacer de ta tête immédiatement. Aussi, elle explique comment prendre du plaisir en trouvant ta passion.
L'art de la simplicité de Dominique Loreau
Si ton tiroir à maquillage est rempli de 42 produits que tu n'as pas utilisés depuis que tu sortais au Fuzzy et que tu gardes du vieux linge du Forever 21 en te disant que ça va revenir à la mode (tsé au pire tu peux le racheter à 12$ si ça revient en 2021), tu dois lire ce livre. Ça a été mon introduction au minimalisme, et maudit que je me suis sentie mieux après m'être débarrassée de trop de choses auxquelles j'étais attachée pour les mauvaises raisons.
Ces Françaises qui ne grossissent pas: Comment font-elles? de Mireille Guiliano
J'ai probablement lu 15 livres traitant de méthodes pour perdre du poids. Le hic? Tous les livres parlaient de régimes. Bien entendu, aucun n'a réellement changé ma façon de m'alimenter, jusqu'à ce que je découvre ce livre, qui traite davantage de la perception par rapport à la nourriture. As-tu déjà vu une Française ultra mince qui se privait de manger plein de cheese?
Sur le même sujet, ce livre de Dominique Loreau est également excellent (minimalisme dans l'assiette): L'art de la frugalité et de la volupté, inspiré de l'alimentation des Japonaises.
Strong Looks Better Naked de Khloé Kardashian
Moment cocasse: je suis à Vancouver dans un café et un beau jeune homme trop sociable vient me faire la jasette et me demande ce que je lis. Oui, il y a Khloé Kardashian à moitié nue sur la couverture. Mon frère a ri de moi quand j'ai recommandé ce livre à sa blonde... mais je promets que c'est inspirant. La plus jeune des Kardashian a toujours été considérée comme le vilain petit canard de la famille et a struggle toute sa jeune vingtaine avec son image personnelle (prise de poids, trop de boisson, déboires personnels, etc). Le livre parle de sa prise en main.
Le Secret de Rhonda Byrne
Oui, le livre qui a mauvaise réputation. Non, c'est pas le nom d'une secte! Perso, la loi de l'attraction a changé ma vie pour vrai. Quand je crois quelque chose avec AUCUN doute, genre il va y avoir un parking dans la prochaine rangée, ça arrive. Si le sujet t'intéresse, je te suggère de regarder ces 2 vidéos: Comment j'ai utilisé la loi de l'attraction pour perdre 70 livres et Comment arriver à la vie de tes rêves.
Je recommande aussi Le pouvoir de la même auteure, qui décrit la loi de l'attraction d'une façon plus simple. #fulllove
Le Why Café de John P. Strelecky
J'ai lu ce livre en quelques heures seulement. Si tu ne sais pas ce que tu veux dans la vie, tu dois lire ça. Une magnifique histoire qui t'aidera à trouver ta passion/mission personnelle et qui t'aidera à cesser d'accorder de l'importance aux choses (ou gens) qui grugent ton énergie.
Du même auteur: Le Safari de la vie (pour trouver tes 5 grands rêves de vie). PS: Je ne recommande pas Le Why Café 2.
Tremblez mais osez de Susan Jeffers
J'ai lu ce livre dans un moment hyper stressant de ma vie, à la croisée des chemins. Je devais prendre une grande décision concernant mon avenir professionnel et personnel, et ça m'a vraiment aidé à sauter dans le vide. Sans aucun regret! La vie de tes rêves est déjà en cours. Suffit juste de plonger dedans pour de vrai.
Who Moved My Cheese? de Spencer Johnson et Kenneth Blanchard
C'est mon chum qui l'a acheté et perso, le titre ne m'avait pas convaincue. Tu dois vraiment passer outre la couverture style années 80, ça vaut la peine! Si tu as de la misère à dealer avec le changement, ou si quelque chose qui s'en vient te fait peur, tu dois lire ceci. C'est un genre de fable super cute et vraiment efficace.
Le grand saut de Russ Harris
Ce livre m'a fait comprendre que des pensées négatives, c'est TRÈS normal. Tout le monde en a...tout le temps...même le Dalaï-Lama. L'auteur enseigne de bonnes façons de vivre avec et aide à chasser cette angoisse quotidienne.
Sur le même sujet, Le piège du bonheur m'a aussi aidé à gérer mes pensées pas lfun. Il ne faut jamais confondre pensées et émotions!
En passant, je te recommande d'écrire dans tes livres et de noter les pages les plus inspirantes. À laisser tout près de ton lit ou bien à un endroit stratégique pour que tu puisses lire un p'tit passage dès que tu te sens comme d'la marde. Parce que c'est toi la personne la plus importante de ta vie.
