"Now it's time for @zeeinmilton to keep the promise @fordnation made in 2020: the proposed Campbellville Quarry must not be licensed!

"While byelections can sometime serve as a referendum of the ruling party, the race in #Milton has, instead, focused on local issues, including ...well-organized opposition to the construction of a quarry." #onpoli #stopthequarry
It’s by-election day in two Ontario ridings to replace two cabinet ministers who called it quits in recent months.
But one in particular - Milton - has turned into a nail biter.

"But a more prosaic controversy may dominate Thursday's Milton byelection: the proposed reopening of the Campbellville quarry opposed by many residents and the local council."

"The hyper-local issue that has generated the most debate..is a proposed quarry near Campbellville..There's always the possibility for such a controversy to motivate just enough voters to swing the result in a close race"

ESSENTIAL #onpoli READING ⏬
The campaign to #stopthequarry could be the spoiler in the #Milton by-election according to the @TorontoStar!
@action_milton is a group of concerned citizens who have been fighting to STOP a proposal we believe will be a DISASTER for the community!
Doug Ford is promoting Highway 413 and worrying about the kaffiyeh ban, but another issue could be the spoiler in Milton byelection #onpoli trib.al/P0lJK3v
