NEWSROOM@EAP.ON.CA PRESCOTT-RUSSELL

“Ontario can lead Canada in job cre- ation again, but for that to happen, the vital role of agriculture to our whole economy can no longer be ignored by an urban-focused government,” PC leader Tim Hudak said during a visit to Glengarry-Prescott-Russell this week. Hudak was in the region promoting the Conservatives’ Paths to Prosperity: Respect for Rural Ontario, a white paper on the economy. “Agriculture supports our overall econ- omy,” Hudak said. “In addition to being a mainstay for jobs across rural Ontario, thousands of jobs in urban centres de- pend on food processing alone.

The ensemble features a turntable, a vinyl LP, an eight-track player and a cassette player. The MacPhersons and Jarrett Taillefer were among the volunteers re- ceiving, and doing some heavy lifting, at theWEEE collection.
