Ontario PC Party leader Doug Ford held a rally in Hamilton on Thursday, May 26 at the Hamilton International Airport in Mount Hope. The rally was in the Cargojet Maintenance Hangar. Local candidates from the Hamilton, Niagara, and Halton regions attended the event.
But before the rally even started, it was events that took place outside the Cargojet facility that made headlines. A group of a couple dozen anti-Ford protestors stood in the middle of the entrance road for a period of time, blocking rally attendees from parking. The group was largely made up of environmental activists from the “Stop the Sprawl” campaign.
Hamilton Police were called when the protestors refused to leave the property. Police later reported that one woman was arrested after she was told multiple times to leave. The woman, who later identified herself online as Caryma Sa’d, was charged with trespassing.

The CBC has an odd survey it offers called the “Vote Compass” that the taxpayer-financed network trots out during the period prior to elections, supposedly to help the citizenry come to a decision about who they should be voting for.

There’s a saying as old as time that “all politics is local.” Every decision that elected officials make is in the interest of protecting their constituencies, and ensuring that when the next election rolls around, they come out the victor.
Opinion
In recent decades, Canada has failed to realize its potential in numerous key areas. We are no longer filling our role as an economic, military and resource-rich leader in the free world.
