Today, Filomena Tassi, federal minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), announced over $1.5 million for TS Manufacturing.

On June 24, 24 Conservative members of parliament, including Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Haliburton member Jamie Schmale, were identified by CTV News as having attended meetings hosted by four people closely linked to the so-called Freedom Convoy movement. However, Schmale’s office says this just isn’t true.

Local MP Jamie Schmale has already picked his horse in the federal leadership race – the perceived frontrunner, Pierre Poilievre.

Local MP Jamie Schmale has been appointed as the new shadow minister for Indigenous Services in Canada’s 44th Parliament.

Forty-eight hours after fighting and winning his third election, local MP Jamie Schmale says it’s bittersweet to be going back to Ottawa while the Conservative Party itself has once again been defeated.

“We were hoping for better,” Schmale said.

Local NDP candidate Zac Miller placed third in last night’s federal election while Green candidate Angel Godsoe placed fifth, behind PPC candidate Alison Davidson.

Conservative incumbent Jamie Schmale easily retained his seat in Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock, with the size of the popular vote still being counted, while Liberal candidate Judi Forbes placed second.

With less than a day before the votes are counted in the 2021 Canadian federal election, it is worthwhile to look at the latest polling provided by 338Canada.com.

If their predictions are correct, Prime Minister Trudeau will remain the nation’s leader, Jamie Schmale will win Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock easily and the classic bellwether riding of Peterborough-Kawartha that has sided with the winning party since 1960 could see a photo-finish with less than one per cent of the total vote separating the winner from the loser.
