Rural residents are concerned about the future of their communities.
In general, people were very positive regarding what rural communities have to offer. Many of the strengths related back to the people themselves, their work ethic and their commitment to their communities. There was a feeling that they are not understood by urban Canada, or even viewed in a negative light. Revenue Canada - taxes are holding business back access to venture capital high cost of communication infrastructure no 911 service far away from Fire Department, Police, etc. There was a feeling that the lack of communication was a major concern.
