Carleton voters choosing a fresh face as MPP [Video]

Voters in the big rural Ottawa riding of Carleton will elect a new Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) this week after Progressive Conservative-turned-Independent Goldie Ghamari announced she would not run in the provincial election. 

John Barresi operates a roofing and siding business out of Richmond. He’s worried about a tariff war and what it would mean to his bottom line if Canada slaps retaliatory tariffs on the products he imports from the U.S.

“A lot of the products I use are manufactured in the U.S.,” said Barresi.

“There’s a lot of uncertainty there. So I feel that [PC Leader Doug Ford] has made that a priority. Although I’ve traditionally never voted Progressive Conservative, I will this time around.”
