Toronto, ON – They came on Saturday from Thunder Bay, Windsor, Ottawa, Cornwall, Peterborough, and Hamilton by car, train and bus – 131 busloads in fact from every corner of Ontario, to join more than 20,000 protestors against the policies of Ontario’s Liberal government. Labour unions were joined by more than 100 community groups representing students, parents, seniors, environmentalists and aboriginal peoples, demanding economic and democratic rights for everyone. They marched on Maple Leaf Gardens where the Ontario Liberals were in the process of choosing, Kathleen Wynne, as the province’s first female premier. Impressed with the turnout, IAM Canadian General Vice President Dave Ritchie summed up the situation this way,  “this turnout shows you that Ontarian’s, like most Canadians are fed up with government’s that are elected to do one thing and end up doing another. I hope Kathleen Wynne was listening on Saturday.”
