On the local front, municipal and some provincial politicians appear to have done their best to convince Hershey not to close the Smiths Falls plant. Heck, Dalton even called Rick Lenney, Hershey CEO. Lenny didn't give ol'Dalt the time of day but, no matter, the attempt was made. H.Hampton even showed his face in town Thursday.
Tuesday's Record News coverage of the rally at the plant points out that Norm Sterling sent an assistant, much to the dismay of some in the crowd. Evidently they weren't aware that the "assistant" is seeking the PC nomination for the newly formed LLFA riding.
Where is John Tory ? Apparently he met with council early in the week, but nary a public statement. While he might well have name recognition in TO, I'm betting a good many in our area couldn't name the PC leader if asked. Given that in the upcoming Provincial election the Town sits in a new riding, so there will be no incumbent, this might spell trouble for Conservatives. The south end of the riding is currently held by a Lib. I'm still predicting a win, but i'm not so sure it's a completely safe riding.
A golden opportunity lost.
