LINDSAY, Ont. — Ontario politicians are set to make their annual pilgrimage to the International Plowing Match today.
The expo will be held in Lindsay, Ont., this year and is a yearly celebration of rural and agricultural life. With the spectre of a possible early election – Premier Doug Ford has not ruled one out – the event gives politicians the chance to mingle with members of those communities.He is also set to hop on a tractor along with the leaders of the other political parties in a challenge to see who can plow the straightest furrow.
Ford received a cool reception last year after the explosion of the Greenbelt land-opening scandal, a move farmers opposed because it would have meant developing prime agricultural land. Ford ultimately reversed his decision and returned parcels of land to the Greenbelt, but the RCMP are conducting an investigation.
