Goldie Ghamari, who won the riding in 2018 but was removed from the Progressive Conservative caucus last year, isn’t running again. CBC’s Hallie Cotnam spoke with voters about what they want to see in their new MPP.
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.”
