Stay tuned, stay informed, look well to your vote

By MPP Toby Barrett

To The Haldimand Press

I feel fortunate I have been given the opportunity to publish my weekly newspaper column over the past 27 years.

I first approached the Port Dover Maple Leaf, as my grandfather Tobe Barrett, when MP, wrote a column as a “farmer-politician”. Thankfully Stan Morris agreed to run my column. I told Stan I was on my way to Hagersville to see Bob Hall of The Haldimand Press, to which Stan replied, “You think I’m Liberal, wait ‘till you talk to Bob Hall.” Bob also agreed to give me a chance, acknowledging, “Half my readers are Conservative.”
