Denial of access

Ontario PC party denies TMU student journalists access to election night event

Student journalists for Toronto Metropolitan University’s On The Record News were denied access to the Ontario Progressive Conservative party’s election night event in Etobicoke, Ont. 

A campaign staffer approached On The Record journalist Amber Ranson and a camera operator and asked who they had voted for; when they declined to answer, the staffer asked the team to leave. 

A video shared by On The Record shows Ranson outside the event, alongside a group of student journalists from Humber College who were also denied access.
