Parry Sound/Muskoka MPP Norm Miller shares his views of what he experienced during a tour of downtown Brussels on Friday as Oak
Ridges MPP Frank Klees and Grey -Bruce -Owen Sound MPP Bill Murdoch look on when the three Conservative MPPs came to the area to
help develop the PC policy platform for this fall's provincial election.

Viewing the boarded -up buildings as
they talked to the businesses still
surviving in downtown Brussels, three
Progressive Conservative MPPs said
Friday the McGuinty government is
favouring urban centres over rural
Ontario.
"The Liberal government has made a
two-tier Ontario - there's no doubt

the big city but we'll show them in the
next election," said Grey -Bruce -Owen
Sound MPP Bill Murdoch.
"We've been split into two Ontarios -
rural and urban and that's a very
dangerous polarization," added Oak
Ridges MPP Frank Klees, adding that

playing that role," said Klees.
Lisa Thompson, president of the
Huron -Bruce Provincial PC
Association, said the MPPs toured the
village to discover rural concerns and
what rural Ontario needs to prosper.
"We don't want huge hand-outs. We
want little sparks that grow into flames
of development," she said.
Huron East Coun. David Blaney, who
