Guest: Toronto Star affordable housing reporter Victoria Gibson  Ontario is racing towards a snap election on Feb.27 and for a lot of voters, two issues loom well above the rest:  housing and healthcare. Both are at breaking point, and both are dominating party platforms. As part of our pre-election coverage, we're delving into these issues. Where do things really stand, are any of the candidates offering actual solutions, and what should you, the voters be thinking about as you head to the polls?  We talk housing on today's episode. Millions of people in Ontario are struggling with a reality where housing is not just unaffordable; for many, it's almost impossible. Rents are out of control, homeownership feels like a distant dream, subsidized housing waitlists are stretching into decades and homelessness numbers have shot up by 25 per cent since the last election. We keep hearing big promises about 1.5 million new homes, more affordable units, incentives for developers, but is any of it actually working?

In anticipation of the upcoming Ontario Provincial Election, twelve agencies from across Ontario organized a political debate on February 19th, 2025. The debate allowed representatives from each major political part to address major issues that affect the disability community. David Lepofsky, chair of the AODA Alliance and one of the organizers of the debate joined host Grant Hardy and his special guest co-host Jacob Shymanski on The Pulse after the debate. David provided an update on what the party's platforms are on major disability issues like ODSP, housing, and social services budget cuts. Plus, at the end of the episode David, Grant, and Jacob discuss accessible voting.  Check out the Pulse on YouTube!About AMIAMI is a media company that entertains, informs and empowers Canadians with disabilities through three broadcast services — AMI-tv and AMI-audio in English and AMI-télé in French — and streaming platform AMI+.

They said his calling an early provincial election was hubris, and yet Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford may win an even bigger majority on Feb. 27. They scoffed when he claimed a vote was needed to fight U.S. tariffs, but that turned out to be all Ontarians were thinking about. And, as Brian discusses this week with Postmedia's Ontario columnists Chris Selley and Lorrie Goldstein, Ford's tough-talking tariff campaign has only boosted his popularity. One reason they suggest Ford is winning could be that Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie and NDP Leader Marit Stiles can't understand what voters see in the guy. But they also weigh whether voters have simply lost faith in idealistic politicians promising they can fix things, anymore. (Recorded February 21, 2025) Learn more about your ad choices.

Ontarians are heading to the polls on Feb. 27 to elect the province's 44th government after Premier Doug Ford called a snap election. The Conservative leader, who has twice been elected since taking office in 2018, says he need a new four-year mandate to take on U.S. President Donald Trump and his threats of crippling import tariffs that, Ford warns, could cost Ontario half a million jobs. Amidst debates over tariffs and inflation, however, Jewish topics aren't getting much attention. Which party would most value protecting synagogues and Jewish schools from vandalism and protest? Which party would tackle anti-Zionism in public schools? Which party would address campus antisemitism? For answers, we turn to a special Ontario edition of The CJN Daily‘s political panel. Today we're joined by Ari Laskin, a former Conservative political staffer and strategist in Premier Doug Ford's office—who, in 2014, happened to run the current Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie's successful campaign for mayor of Mississauga—and Emma Cunningham, a former Ontario NDP riding president who left that party over its refusal to tackle internal antisemitism.

Guest: Toronto Star health reporter Megan Ogilvie Ontario is racing towards a snap election on February 27 and for a lot of voters, two issues loom well above the rest: housing and healthcare. Both are at breaking point and both are dominating party platforms. As part of the Star's pre-election coverage, we're delving into these issues. Where do things really stand, are any of the candidates offering actual solutions, and what should you, the voters, be thinking about as you head to the polls?  Today's episode will focus on healthcare. With overflowing ERs, health-care worker burn-out and more than two million people without a family doctor, Ontario's healthcare has been in trouble for years. Can anyone bring it back on track?  Audio sources: Global News, CTV, CBC, Youtube This episode was produced by Paulo Marques and Saba Eitizaz 

Ontarians have now gotten to see the leaders face off on the debate stage twice - in North Bay on Valentine's Day, and in Toronto on Family Day. PC leader Doug Ford, NDP leader Marit Stiles, Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie, and Green leader Mike Schreiner took questions on everything from health care to what they like to do in their spare time. Were Ontarians watching - and have the debates changed the race? To discuss, Steve Paikin is joined by Erin Kelly, CEO and co-founder of Advanced Symbolics Inc., who's been tracking this election using Polly, the AI pollster.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Premier Doug Ford cited President Donald Trump's tariff threats as the reason for the early election call. But according to a recent Nanos survey for CTV News, the top concern for Ontarians is health care: 28.1 per cent said that's the issue that will influence how they'll vote. So what kinds of health-care challenges are we facing in the province, and what do the parties propose to do about them? To discuss, we'll be joined by: Dr. Sarah Newbery, a family physician in Marathon and the assistant dean of the Physician Workforce Strategy for the Northern Ontario School of Medicine Erin Ariss, provincial president of the Ontario Nurses'Association Dr. Dominik Nowak, president of the Ontario Medical Association and a family doctor at Women's College Hospital and Dr. Jobin Varughese, president of the Ontario College of Family Physicians and interim assistant dean of primary-care education for the School of Medicine at Toronto Metropolitan University.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Family Day marked the final leaders' debate during the 2025 Ontario Election. Bonnie Crombie, Marit Stiles, and Mike Schreiner were on the offensive while Doug Ford made an apology over the Greenbelt. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath dissect the event and how each leader fared.

Trump has dominated much of the discussion in Ontario's provincial election, forcing issues like health care and housing to take a backseat. We discuss what's been happening on the campaign trail, the imminent live debates, and why Premier Doug Ford called this snap election in the first place with our provincial politics panel: the CBC's Mike Crawley, the Toronto Star's Robert Benzie and the Globe and Mail's Laura Stone.  

Will healthcare, housing, or tariffs decide the upcoming Ontario election? Host Steve Paikin asks Erin Kelly, CEO and co-founder of Advanced Symbolics Inc., what Polly the A.I. pollster has to say about the state of the race so far.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Premier Doug Ford calling a quick and early election in Ontario, youth across the province are not shying away from making sure their voices are heard. Amidst an affordability crisis and threats from Trump, Generation Z tells us why it is so important to be politically engaged – even if some aren't old enough to vote. The Agenda welcomes teens from across the province to discuss what issues they are paying attention to this Ontario election. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With just two weeks to go in Ontario's election, The Canadian Press Queen's Park reporter Liam Casey joins Rob Westgate to discuss the key storylines to emerge so far, including the focus on tariffs with the United States and why -- unlike many provincial elections -- this campaign is of growing interest across Canada. They also talk about the upcoming debates and whether the unusual move to call a snap winter election could actually backfire on Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford.

A CBC Radio weekly podcast about the Ontario Election from the team at Ontario Today. We dig into the top issues facing Ontarians to help you make the best choice on voting day February 27. This week we ask undecided voters what issue will decide their vote with Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati and Brampton City Councillor Rowena Santos. This is an excerpt from our broadcast Jan. 29, 2025.

No evidence of “traitors” in Parliament. The report of the public inquiry into foreign election meddling describes the involvement of outside countries in Canada's electoral process as “marginal”. Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue says she's found no proof that any elections or federal legislation have been affected by foreign interference. Hogue says there is an existential threat to democracy: disinformation.Also: The federal government is ready to pull the trigger on pandemic-style financial help for people and industries affected by a tariff war with the United States.And: Ontario Premier Doug Ford calls a snap election. Ford says he needs a new mandate to protect the province from tariffs. The opposition parties are also drawing attention to other issues like healthcare.Plus: ICE raids in the U.S., fracking and earthquakes, climate change and the LA fires, and more.

On the heels of the fires that continue in Los Angeles, the Copernicus Climate Change Service reported that 2024 was the first calendar year that was 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels – the limit agreed upon in the Paris Climate Agreement. Yet, support for climate policies here in Canada seem to be on the wane. According to Abacus Data, concern about climate change has decreased 14 points between 2023 and 2024, from 76% to 62% of Canadians. And, according to an Ipsos poll from this month, climate change or the environment was ranked ninth among the list of priorities for Canadian voters. Housing, healthcare, economy, inflation/interest rates, and immigration rounded out the top five. Do we simply no longer care about climate change in this country – especially at the ballot box? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Premier Doug Ford says he needs a fresh mandate to combat Donald Trump's tariffs, but opposition MPPs believe he has all the tools he needs already. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath discuss why the premier may be pushing for an early election. The province moved some ServiceOntario locations to Staples Canada, which they said would save taxpayers money. The Financial Accountability Office of Ontario says otherwise. What will you do with the $200 cheque coming your way from the provincial government? One website is pitching Ontarians on donating the money to charitable organizations. Steve's column: https://www.tvo.org/article/opinion-how-doug-ford-became-an-unlikely-figure-of-national-unity JMM's column: https://www.tvo.org/article/analysis-why-ontario-is-betting-big-on-nuclear-powerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ontario premier Doug Ford hinted at it two days in a row this week. He said he needs a renewed mandate to fight U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods. But do voters want a provincial election? Especially with talk of a federal election coming as well? Our guest is Rob Benzie, the Queen's Park bureau chief of the Toronto Star.

Reaction continues to pour in after Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced the government would pay $225 million to end an agreement with the The Beer Store one year early. One of the questions being asked repeatedly - why pay millions to end an agreement that was due to expire next year anyways? Does it have anything to do with theories the Premier will call an early election? Steve and JMM discuss the possibility.The Ontario government is insisting it complies with public disclosure laws. That's after reporting from Global News revealed government staff are using their Gmail accounts in order to avoid disclosure under the freedom of information act. But will there be any consequences beyond the political arena? Plus, a historic moment in the legislature as NDP MPP Sol Mamakwa asks a question in Oji-Cree. It's the first time a question is officially asked in the Ontario legislature in a language other than English or French.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
