Interestingly, the byline on the article by Daniel Rodrigues says that he is "a member of the transportation committee of Hamilton Chamber of Commerce."

But that is not all that Rodrigues does. Perhaps more importantly, he is the owner of Rodrigues Consulting, a consultancy providing services to the "Transportation/Trucking/Railroad industry", according to his LinkedIn profile.

Given Rodrigues' ownership of this consultancy, it is reasonable to assume that the position he puts forward in this article is one from which he stands to gain financially. However, this financial connection is not disclosed in the article.

To me, that is a straightforward contravention of standard editorial guidelines. I hope that the Spectator clarifies this in tomorrow's newspaper.
