WARMINGTON: Couple left ‘stunned’ after legally registered car impounded by police

A couple were shocked to learn their beloved classic car had been reported stolen.

The car’s legal owner is Larry Grogan, a London, Ont.-area business owner who has reported many vehicles stolen — including the car he named Evoys for three years.

Grogan’s lawyers are now preparing a statement to address the concerns of the many victims, but the Evoys want to warn the public that “this could happen to anyone” – even if you do everything by the book.

WARMINGTON: The latest classic car owner to seize a legally registered vehicle

Like the Evoys above, a Toronto man now living in Prince Edward County learned the hard way that his 1960 Buick LeSabre was stolen when he bought it two years ago — even though he did the research at the time of purchase and came back clean.

Sam Grosso told Warmington that when OPP officers came to pick up the classic car with a flatbed truck, he was “advised to cooperate or I could be charged with obstruction.”

“It doesn’t seem right.”

LILLEY: Jagmeet Singh’s NDP loses all credibility in support of Trudeau

This week, Jagmeet Singh called Justin Trudeau a “coward” over his stance on stopping rail work.

Last week, Singh said life for Canadians has gotten a lot worse under Trudeau.

Content of the article

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he’s fed up with the Liberals because the Trudeau cabinet decided to send the lockout/strike affecting the country’s two major railroads to binding arbitration and would have preferred the work stoppage to be settled at the bargaining table.

But that’s pretty big talk from the man many hold responsible for imposing the unpopular Trudeau government on Canadians.

Singh has been complaining about Trudeau’s Liberal government for more than a year, warning how bad the government is for Canada — yet he continues to support it, writes Brian Lilley.

It’s one of the reasons the NDP under Singh has lost all credibility and is struggling in the polls despite the collapse of the Liberals.
