Lack of services at night and the long hours of single lane are a huge problem.
The 17 has more services at night when going from Kenora to Toronto but the same safety issues.
This is complicated by really poor cell service or none for long stretches.
Not a trip I'd recommend in the winter.

Winning seats so that we can implement policy change requires on the ground organizing. That's why Heather McPherson is the NDP leader we need - she knows how to organize and she's already demonstrated that she's willing to put in the hard work.
Chandra has proven she knows how to win where we haven’t won before. She and her team have won her elections one conversation at the time.
