Peterborough residents gathered outside MPP Dave Smith’s office on the afternoon of Saturday, April 25th, to voice their frustrations with Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government. The protest was one of many province-wide demonstrations, occurring on the same day, in response to recent changes to Freedom of Information legislation, and the Premier’s purchase of a private jet, among other grievances.
