Ontario premier denounces Hamilton air cadet assault, charges filed
Ontario Premier Doug Ford condemned the assault on Royal Canadian Air Cadets captain Kenneth Kunkel in Hamilton on 9 November, calling it "absolutely disgusting" and urging parents to discipline their children, while police charged a 12-year-old boy and a 48-year-old woman with assault. Police said that on 31 October a 12-year-old boy and a 48-year-old woman attacked the 59-year-old commanding officer while he supervised cadets selling Remembrance Day poppies at a mall, and the two suspects were arrested at the scene. Hospital officials reported that Captain Kunkel suffered severe spinal injuries, was taken to hospital and underwent same-day spinal surgery, leaving him unable to walk and now in rehabilitation.
