Sam Oosterhoff needs to apologize to constituents for calling the police on them

QUEEN’S PARK— NDP MPP for Niagara Centre Jeff Burch released the following statement:

“It has been 24 hours since Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff called the police on seniors who wanted to speak to him about how the Ford government’s cuts to libraries would hurt their book club. Mr. Oosterhoff has not yet issued a formal apology to the women he attempted to intimidate.

These folks did nothing wrong. Too many people in Ontario already feel attacked rather than heard, and they have a right to express their opinions about what is happening to their communities. Constituency offices are owned and paid for by the people of Ontario and they have a right to feel welcome there. The people of Niagara await Mr. Oosterhoff’s apology.”
