One was the building peacemaker who always had a smile on his face.

To be fair to both Del Duca and Horwath, however, Ford was always going to be hard to beat.

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

A recent survey commissioned by voter mobilization group Future Majority found young Ontario voters are concerned about affordable housing, mental health and climate change.

Ontario seems to have forgotten who Doug Ford was going into the pandemic, writes columnist Max Fawcett. That collective amnesia could propel him to election victory.

Premier Doug Ford said Monday he wants Ontario's energy grid to be "100 per cent" clean. Emissions are expected to triple in the next eight years as his government phases in natural gas plants.

As Ontario Liberals geared up for a provincial election, they were faced with a unique problem — too few people had heard of their leader.

Ontario's election campaign began in earnest Wednesday with the party leaders promising to either build or cancel a planned highway that would cut through and serve key battleground areas.

The Ontario Liberals promised Tuesday to cut greenhouse gas emissions by strengthening standards for industry, banning new natural gas plants, providing electric vehicle rebates and offering grants for eco-friendly renovations.

Prominent firearm-control advocates are urging the Liberal government to abandon plans to allow provinces to ban handguns, saying regional measures will lead to a disastrous patchwork across Canada.

The Ontario NDP proposed a $20 an hour wage floor for child care on Tuesday as political parties looking to unseat Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government in a provincial election this summer focused on the gender pay gap.

Ontario’s Liberals are calling on the Ford government to send out many more COVID-19 rapid test kits to schools, especially in hard-hit neighbourhoods, as children make up a growing portion of the province's overall case count.

Public health authorities in Toronto have ordered the city's schools closed a day after the neighbouring Peel Region did so and as the provincial government prevaricates.
