Vol. 50 No. 25 "Using Communication To Build Better Communities" WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2012 76 Pages $1.00 (plus tax) Supporting people Answering robocall allegations Local MP and his opponent comment on Bob Rae's claims By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF The 2011 federal election may be in the past, but the animosity surrounding it is definitely not. In a press release issued Saturday, Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae listed Oakville as one of 27 ridings where, he charged, the local Liberal Party suffered setbacks due to a widespread series of dirty tricks. Rae claimed that during the election, thousands of harassing and misleading automated phone calls, dubbed "robocalls," were made to constituents with callers stating they represented the Liberal party or Coyote classes begin at schools By Dominik Kurek OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF MICHAEL IVANIN / OAKVILLE BEAVER See Elections page 5 out on the street: Julian Di Sabatino, left, and his sister, Amira, carry posters in Kerr Street Ministries' (KSM) Coldest Night of the Year WALK Saturday. More than 100 participants had the choice to walk a two-, five- or 10-kilometre route. Proceeds from the WALK, which raised $30,000, will support the programs KSM provides to low-income families. The event also raised awareness of what it is like to be out in the cold and hungry on frigid winter nights. Donations can still be made online by visiting www.coldestnightoftheyear.org and selecting Oakville as the location. When confronted by a coyote, the students of St. Matthew Catholic Elementary School learned to "be a big, strong, scary human" at presentation yesterday. Liz Benneian of Oakvillegreen visited the school to speak to students about what they should do when faced by a coyote and how to keep the animals away. Benneian has been visiting a number of Oakville Catholic schools this week with a similar message, as part of the Town of Oakville's coyote education program.
