A five-month summer vacation doesn't sound too shabby, especially following a winter vacation that lasted more than three months. That's the case for the members of the Ontario provincial government, as Premier Doug Ford sent the MPPs on an extended break before rejoining for the fall session. He says he'd rather have his members out in the community, engaging with residents, rather than spend their time 'arguing with each other' during question period. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Richard Southern, 680 NewsRadio Queen's Park reporter, to discuss other possible reasons for Ford's extended break, including a potential cabinet shake-up, as well as hopes for a reset in public opinion. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstory.bsky.social on Bluesky

It’s Party for Two! Today Jerry is joined by Barb DiGiulio to break down the day’s biggest stories. Next, Jerry asks the question: What do MPPs actually do when the legislature is on break? He speaks with Tim Hudak, former Ontario PC leader and now Partner at Counsel Public Affairs, about what really happens behind the scenes. Then it’s time for The Blacklock’s Report, as Tom Korski, Managing Editor at Blacklocks.ca, brings the latest stories from Ottawa.

Premier Doug Ford says his government intends to take over Toronto's downtown airport - and it will even pay the city for its trouble. Can he do that? And what does the future hold for the Toronto Islands? Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath break it down. Then, the province named a military defence representative. What will they do? And how might it connect to the Ford government's larger ambitions? Finally, it's March 13 and MPPs are still not back at Queen's Park. How unusual is that?

Welcome to a special road-trip edition of Village Media's Closer Look podcast.On tonight's episode, we catch up with members of the provincial NDP who've spent some quality time over the past week driving along Northern Ontario highways.The MPPs are on a campaign-style tour, meeting with local residents and hearing ideas about how to improve the state of Ontario's northern highways.Joining us from their car is Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles and John Vanthof, who represents the riding of Timiskaming-Cochrane.The Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities (FONOM) has previously called on the federal and provincial governments to invest in the so-called 2+1 model for widening highways.You can learn more about that HERE.

On Open Sources Guelph, we try our best to condense a week's worth of news into a couple of topics to allow for some in-depth discussion, but when it comes to the work of covering the provincial government, sometimes that almost needs its own weekly show. As we gear up for the return of Ontario's MPPs to Queen's Park in a couple of weeks for the spring sitting, we will tee up the issues that await Premier Doug Ford, his cabinet, caucus and opposition. In the last week, Ontario Premier Doug Ford has made news about wanting to build new artificial islands along the Toronto waterfront on which a new convention centre will be built, and he's floated the idea of taking over the Billy Bishop Airport, a move that would be pretty unusual because the province plays no role in airports. In both cases, Ford has not kept the City of Toronto looped in on these initiatives. It's been observed before that Ford is acting like the Mayor of Toronto, but he's actually been elected three times to be the premier for the entire province of Ontario, and at the Ontario PC convention last month, he announced his intention to serve as premier into a fourth term and beyond. Right now though, he's facing an exhaustive list or issues, and it has some people wondering if maybe he's losing sight of the forest for the trees, including the ones he's planting? Scotty Hertz, co-host of Open Sources Guelph, will join us this week to offer his take on the Top 10 issues we think are facing the Ford government. From maximizing Toronto's waterfront, to the further crushing of our conservation authorities, and from the still unknown fate of school boards and to the use of private devices and accounts for government business, let's dig into all the things that should be keeping Doug Ford up at night during the last few weeks of his winter break. So let's countdown Doug Ford's problems on this week's Guelph Politicast!  You can listen to Open Sources Guelph every Thursday at 5 pm on CFRU 93.3 fm or cfru.ca, and on this feed every Monday. This week, we will have an interview with Guelph MPP and Green Party of Ontario leader Mike Schreiner. The Ontario legislature will return for its spring sitting on Monday March 23, and on Tuesday it was announced that they will release the budget on Thursday March 26. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean. Find more episodes of the Politicast here, or download them on your favourite podcast app at Apple, TuneIn and Spotify .

MPPs head back to Queen's Park and LaSalle's byelection is today. These stories and more are in your morning news on the go.

Send us a textNot so fast.That's the message from a growing number of Ontarians trying hard to convince Premier Doug Ford to ditch his plan to outlaw speed cameras.Protesters in cities across the province rallied against Ford's proposed speed camera ban on Monday morning, just as MPPs returned to Queen's Park for a new legislative session. Ford has called the devices nothing but a “cash grab,” and his government is promising to introduce legislation that prevents cities and towns from operating automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras.But research shows the cameras are not only effective at reducing speeds, they are actually widely supported by the general public. Many municipalities also point out that the bulk of revenue from the devices gets reinvested in road safety measures.Last week, more than a dozen former law enforcement leaders — including retired police chiefs from Peel, Halton, Niagara and Ottawa — joined the chorus of critics calling on Ford to change his mind.“The results are clear: when drivers know that automated speed enforcement cameras are in place, they slow down,” reads a letter from the group. “This means fewer tickets, lower costs, and safer roads for everyone.”On tonight's Closer Look, we revisit a recent episode that featured a panel of expert guests: Pamela Fuselli, president and CEO of the injury prevention charity Parachute; Michael Stewart of the Canadian Automobile Association; and Jack Hauen, a reporter at Village Media's The Trillium.You can watch the full episode HERE.Hosted by Village Media's Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith, and produced by Derek Turner, Closer Look is a new daily podcast that goes way beyond the headlines with insightful, in-depth conversations featuring our reporters and editors, leading experts, key stakeholders and big newsmakers.Fresh episodes drop every Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. right in your local news feed — and on the show's dedicated website: closerlookpodcast.ca.

Send us a textCatch and release? Chris Scott now knows the process firsthand. The rookie MPP for Sault Ste. Marie was arrested Sunday night for alleged spousal abuse and released on bail the following day. He is charged with one count of assault and one count of assault with a weapon — the weapon being “a high chair,” according to court documents. (None of the allegations have been tested in court and Scott is presumed innocent until proven guilty).The 35-year-old was promptly booted from Doug Ford's PC caucus and is now an Independent MPP (at least for the time being). Although the NDP is demanding his resignation, Scott has yet to answer questions about the criminal case or his future as a politician.Should he step down? Can fellow MPPs force him to resign? And what do we know about Chris Scott, a one-time senior Ford staffer handpicked by the Premier to run in February's provincial election?Joining us on tonight's Closer Look are two Village Media journalists who covered the breaking story: Jessica Smith Cross, editor-in-chief at The Trillium, and Kenneth Armstrong, a reporter at SooToday.You can watch the full episode in the above YouTube video. Earlier this year, Scott sat down with SooToday for a one-on-one interview during the provincial election race.Hosted by Village Media's Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith, and produced by Derek Turner, Closer Look is a new daily podcast that goes way beyond the headlines with insightful, in-depth conversations featuring our reporters and editors, leading experts, key stakeholders and big newsmakers.Fresh episodes drop every Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. right in your local news feed — and on the show's dedicated website: closerlookpodcast.ca.

Doug Ford imposed an electricity surcharge on Monday, Donald Trump responded with doubling the tariffs on steel and aluminum, and then they called the whole thing off. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath examine a chaotic week in Canada and United States trade relations. Doug Ford's team at Queen's Park is going to look a lot like the old team with few MPPs losing their seats during the last election. The government will also deliver a full budget, and Steve and John Michael speculate what might be in that. The Supreme Court of Canada struck down Doug Ford's third party election spending law, which is a win for unions and civil society groups.

After a consecutive 15 years of running the province, the Ontario Liberal Party now finds itself in third place in the last two elections, with only eight MPPs. Historically, this is the weakest the party has been in nearly 80 years. Deep in the political wilderness, the Liberal party must now decide where it went wrong, what it stands for, and what its goals are.

Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest reigning monarch, is dead at 96; MPPs at Queen's Park agrees to pause work until next week in light of the Queen's passing; and, here's how Toronto is marking the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Today the Bank of Canada announced they were increasing interest rates by another 75 basis points, bringing us to a total increase of 3.25%. When we see interest rates go up, we see cost of living go up, but those who are on ODSP, often get the short end of the stick when it comes to getting an affordable income to support themselves. To send a message to Doug Ford that this isn't an acceptable way to live, MPPs across Ontario are confining themselves to only spending $92.51 for two weeks worth of groceries to really understand what it's like to squeeze those dollars. Joining Alex to discuss this is David Lepofsky, a Lawyer and Chair with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act Alliance.

In 2018, the Trump administration announced the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPPs), under which policy certain noncitizens arriving at the southwest border of the United States were returned to Mexico during their immigration proceedings. Known as the “remain in Mexico” policy, the MPPs faced legal challenges shortly after their enactment, but the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to enforce it. In June 2021, the Biden administration sought to end the policy, but Texas and Missouri challenged that effort, arguing that rescinding the policy violated federal immigration law and that the policy change violated the Administrative Procedure Act. A federal district court agreed with the challengers and ordered the Biden administration to implement the MPPs in good faith or initiate new agency action in compliance with the APA. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit declined to block the lower court's ruling, as did the Supreme Court. In October 2021, the Department of Homeland Security issued a new decision ending the policy supported by a memorandum explaining the decision. A district court again ordered DHS to continue the CPPs, and the Fifth Circuit upheld the order. The Biden administration sought expedited review as to whether federal immigration law requires it to maintain the policy and whether the October decision to end the policy has any legal effect. The case was decided on June 30, 2022. The Court held that the Government's rescission of MPP did not violate section 1225 of the INA, and the October 29 Memoranda constituted final agency action. Chief Justice ROBERTS delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Justices BREYER, SOTOMAYOR, KAGAN, and KAVANAUGH joined. Justice KAVANAUGH filed a concurring opinion. Justice ALITO, filed a dissenting opinion, in which Justices THOMAS and GORSUCH joined. Justice BARRETT filed a dissenting opinion, in which Justice THOMAS, ALITO, and GORSUCH joined as to all but the first sentence.
