Learning quickly that Cargojet had given a written trespass order to be able to remove people from their property, we also gleaned that there was no order on the general airport grounds and proceeded to walk back & forth across the entry street for over an hour slowing everyone.

I understand the Cargojet may be trying to pay off Ford with donated space or political favours, but the Hamilton Airport Authority did not have to go along with it.

At no point was anybody blocking the road. We were marching back and forth as we've done in many strike actions in the past. We were letting cars through slowly and eventually everyone got through.

Eventually, one of the conservative fixers for the event called in the favours he needed to get the Hamilton Airport Authority to agree to a trespass order as well. It was at that point, after holding cars up for over an hour, that we decided to slowly make our way off property.

The gentleman that you see in the one picture who looks like he's pissed off at the world was mostly pissed off at us. He threatened to have us arrested for an hour and a half, knowing that he didn't have any authority to do so until he actually got the trespass order.

He found out pretty quickly that we understood that as well. Even at that point, after they had the trespass order we took about 20 minutes to actually leave where we were.
Other than holding up some people in their cars for a couple of minutes, nothing illegal was being done.

All "progressive" Hamiltonians bemoaning "old guard" politics while espousing a neo-liberal Keanin Loomis seem to forget that, despite the term, neo-liberal is "old guard" after a decade of Trudeau, fifteen years of McGuinty/Wynne, and terms of Bratina/Dianni/Eisenberger.
