An NDP government would keep Ontario's cap and trade system, but make it better, party leader Andrea Horwath said Sunday in Ottawa.

At campaign events on Sunday, both Ontario's Liberal premier and the leader of the New Democratic Party refused to commit to the possibility of joining forces to form a coalition government should the Progressive Conservatives win a minority in the upcoming election.

Doug Ford said at a leaders' debate on Friday that he would push hard for mining in Northern Ontario, home to the Ring of Fire, an area in the James Bay lowlands rich in minerals, but lacking in infrastructure and surrounded by sensitive ecological areas and First Nations.

Kathleen Wynne flew in and out of Ottawa late Wednesday with a campaign slogan designed to contrast her vision for Ontario with that of Doug Ford, and a guarantee to supporters that she'll be back in Queen's Park.

After the speech, Ford left the stage and took no questions from media.

In Ontario’s first televised debate of the 2018 election season, Progressive Conservative leader Doug Ford leaned on platitudes about standing up for the little guy when not railing against what he considers Premier Kathleen Wynne’s profligate spending. New Democratic Party’s Andrea Horwath presented herself as the grown-up voice for change.

Doug Ford is blaming the "mess" he inherited from his predecessor for his controversial decision to appoint about a dozen Tory candidates in ridings across Ontario, while critics pounced on the new leader's decision, accusing him of going back on his promise to clean up the troubled Progressive Conservative nomination process.

Ten people died and 15 others were injured when a van mounted a sidewalk and struck multiple pedestrians along a stretch of one of Toronto's busiest streets, authorities said Monday, calling it "a horrific attack."

Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford has appointed candidates in nearly a dozen ridings ahead of the upcoming provincial election, and they include the son of a former premier.

Mike Schreiner said he was proud of federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May for standing up for what she believes in, even if she was arrested over it, and would “absolutely” do the same.

Speaking at the Hilton Toronto, the leader of the Progressive Conservative party said "real people" in Ontario have been hurt by the Liberal government, and his plan to change that includes overhauling the electricity service provider.

The president of an Ontario metal fabrication plant who has saved millions of dollars, cut carbon pollution and hired more staff, says he's not sure if politicians who criticize environmental standards are "educated on these things, (or) if they’re just trying to win voters."

Two months after their leader resigned amid sexual misconduct allegations, Ontario's Progressive Conservatives have turfed another legislator and barred him from running for re-election over sexual harassment allegations from a former intern.

Ontario's newly minted Progressive Conservative leader will not bring journalists with him on the campaign trail this spring, a rare move experts say suggests the Tories are keen to keep the unpredictable populist politician out of the hot seat as he takes on two more seasoned rivals.

Former Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Christine Elliott says she will be seeking the nomination to run as the Tory candidate in the provincial riding of Newmarket-Aurora.
