Police have accused a 33-year-old woman of entering amid a protest at a Doug Ford rally at Hamilton Airport.
A spokesman for the Hamilton Police Service (HPS) says the indictment comes from an arrest made when a group of protesters gathered on a private property blocking a road to a Cargojet facility.
“Protesters were asked to leave the road. All people complied, but one refused to move and was arrested,” HPS’s Jackie Penman said in a statement.

First Doug Ford is hiding from the media, now his staff has them arrested. This should never happen in a free society. #TheChoiceIsYours #onpoli https://t.co/9KXnq1tJ6x
