Hamilton is the preferred location for the $250 million facility.The offer by Maple Leaf Foods to politicians and media to tour its state-of-the-art processing facility in Brandon, Manitoba, and the whirlwind editorial interviews with area media is to counter negative opinions that have grown within the community that Maple Leaf Foods isn't the proper fit for what is an agricultural area.

Please note…

This website contains satirical commentaries of current events going back several decades. Some readers may not share this sense of humour nor the opinions expressed by the artist. To understand editorial cartoons it is important to understand their effectiveness as a counterweight to power. It is presumed readers approach satire with a broad minded foundation and healthy knowledge of objective facts of the subjects depicted.
