The readers of, “Hey Rocky, Who Took Northern Ontario?” report:

 “Many politicians will no doubt blush when they read the legitimate criticisms in Steven’s tale.” S.S.

“I chuckled all the way through this book-it’s funny, disturbing and informative.” L.M.

“What a timely tale Hey Rocky is. It’s hilarious but terribly sad in many respects as the north of Ontario is wasted by a callous government in the south.” R.E.

Is the North/Northwest of the Province of Ontario a historical anomaly that’s creation was one large political error, its inhabitants doomed to perpetual servitude from a distant urban parliament in Tarana and the GTA? Are northern politicians who represent 75% of the geography of Ontario willing to remain insipid bystanders in a legislature where they have no effective clout for their constituents? Do northerners have any control over their destiny? Will they ever have a voice in their own forests where MPP’s from Sault Ste Marie to the Manitoba border have only 2% of the seats in a city state parliament?

This irreverent tale has little mercy for the doddering political activities of King Raccoon Galton McDinty, MPP’s Hockey Hampson, Billy Moroless and Mitchell Grovel and municipal politicians, Mayor Linnforpetesakes, Mayor Mickey Powerless, Mayor Dave Aircan, Local School Boreds, Reeves and others in the north.

Angry Bears in Steven’s fable claim these politicians view their territory upside down. Faced with inept policy, forced downsizing, and ruination in their lands many Bears demand a divorce from the southern Raccoons. Should the Bears join the Buffaloes in Manitoba or should they create their own province in Canada, the readers are left to decide. This fable is seriously informative, saucy and ultimately entertaining.
