In the space of nine days, Ontario’s Progressive Conservative government drew up, imposed and promised to withdraw a law that invoked the Charter of Rights and Freedoms’ notwithstanding clause to block any opposition to its enforced four-year pay offer to Canadian Union of Public Employees members.

The Ford government tried to legislate away Ontario workers’ bargaining rights last week. Instead, it likely needs to sweeten the deal it’s proposing to emboldened education workers.

In the era of climate change, cutting conservation authorities out of the development process hinders climate progress and could spell disaster for residents living in flood zones.

“We won. They backed down,” Sharron Flynn-Bennett, a union organizer and special education worker in the Toronto Catholic District School Board, said outside Queen’s Park on Monday. 

If Doug Ford and François Legault have their way, Canada may not have a Charter worth defending for much longer, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Ontario government lawyers argued on Tuesday, November 1, 2022 there would be "irreparable harm" to the rule of law if Premier Doug Ford and a top minister were compelled to testify at a federal inquiry after citing parliamentary privilege in trying to avoid doing so.

“We’ve changed the makeup of city council quite significantly. It means there is a mandate now from Torontonians that they want to see change,” Saman Tabasinejad, 29, organizing director at Progress Toronto, said.

John Horgan says some of the greatest lessons he learned while premier of British Columbia came from people considered political adversaries.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford and former solicitor general Sylvia Jones are challenging a summons to appear as witnesses at the public inquiry examining the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act.

Ottawa mayor Jim Watson said he was impatient with the amount of time it took to get more police officers sent to the city to quell the protests. 

The inquiry into the federal government's use of the Emergencies Act will hear first-hand testimony on Monday, October 17, 2022, from top City of Ottawa officials about February's "Freedom Convoy" protest, including the mayor.

An officer who worked with outreach and mental health teams and a veteran constable who was a trained crisis negotiator were identified on Wednesday, October 12, 2022, as the two police officers who died after a shooting in Innisfil, Ont. – an event that left residents of the quiet community in shock.

Unless 11th-hour efforts to stop it succeed, a 16-kilometre four-lane highway will cut a swath through part of Ontario's protected Greenbelt land, paving almost 11 hectares of wetlands and crossing 27 waterways to connect Highway 404 on the east to Highway 400 to the west.

It’s a matter of short-term pain for long-term gain — or, at least, less pain — when it comes to readying Ontario’s public transportation infrastructure to withstand the changing climate, the province’s financial watchdog says in a new report.

You don’t get to cheat citizens in a democracy by holding a “press conference” where you muzzle the press and expect us to play along, writes Karyn Pugliese.
