The seven-seat increase from the 2018 election issues Ford a resounding stamp of approval from voters after an often-embattled first term that saw his government, in the words of a Greenpeace spokesperson, “taking a sledgehammer to Ontario climate policies.”

Doug Ford and the Progressive Conservatives sailed to a second majority government Thursday.

Seasonal or higher than normal temperatures across much of the country will offer Canadians a chance to enjoy the summer, but predictions from a prominent national forecaster warn the humidity could welcome a rather stormy few months.

As Ontario's electoral candidates float plans to reduce cost at the tills, food banks and food security experts say their food-focused approach is distracting from the main problem: Poverty and incomes.

The Ring of Fire, about 500 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay, is home to a 5,000-square-kilometre mineral deposit. The province’s plans include a $1-billion investment to build roads to access those deposits, but the project has been up in the air for years.

One week after a severe wind and thunderstorm swept through Ontario and Quebec, just over 48,000 homes in the two provinces were still without power on Saturday, May 28, 2022.

Paul Renaud is only too aware of what the power of wind can do to trees.

Ontario's Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford has rebranded himself as a big-spending man of the people in the lead-up to the June 2 election.

Ann says she would like to move but simply can’t afford it. A comparable apartment would cost nearly $1,000 more per month than she pays now, and her rent would exceed her fixed income. As it is, Ann spends nearly half her income on housing.

The press releases from the Ontario Green Party HQ gush forth, as they have for months, long before the Ontario election campaign officially began.

An airplane hangar is a very large place, one that is difficult to fill with people, and even more difficult to have appear full with only a couple hundred of them. Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford closed out Thursday with a rally “to get it done” at a CargoJet hangar that abuts the airport in Hamilton, a traditionally labour-minded town and NDP Leader Andrea Horwath’s home turf.

Councillors representing the Regional Municipality of Durham voted in favour of a developer-backed plan to build housing on what is now farmland in spite of vociferous opposition.

Power outages caused by the powerful and deadly storm that swept across Ontario and Quebec on Saturday, May 21, 2022, are stretching into another day, as hydro providers warned customers they could be waiting even longer for things to be fully restored.

Andrea Horwath is now in her 13th year as Ontario NDP leader, but 2018’s orange wave seems to be receding, and fast.

Emergency crews rushed to restore power and clear roads on Sunday, May 22, 2022, a day after a deadly and destructive storm swept across southern Ontario and Quebec, though officials cautioned that some of the outages could take days to resolve.
