Kristy Cameron digs deeper with River Ward councillor Riley Brockington and Beacon Hill-Cyrville councillor Tim Tierney.

Later, I asked another Clinton resident whether McKelvie’s claim was true. She thought for a moment. “Well, there’s Joe, who lives in the trailer park,” she said. “We don’t like him much either. But it’s about even.” McKelvie and I were sitting in the North Road Trading Post, the antique store McKelvie ran in a converted gas station at the north end of town. The garage and lot were dotted with rusty vehicles, some...

Good morning. A Globe and Mail survey has found that Canadians aren’t feeling the love, but some of the results might surprise you. More on that below, along with heartbreak in women’s hockey at the Olympics and proposed protections for those who fall victim to fraud. But first:
