It's been a tough time for party leaders. After Ontario Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie resigned following her 57% leadership review score, Marit Stiles of the Ontario NDP managed only a little better with 68%. Over in British Columbia, John Rustad of the Conservatives scored 70%. While Crombie couldn't hold on, Stiles and Rustad plan to stick around. But what number is good enough to stay on as leader — and what number should Pierre Poilievre aim for in his upcoming leadership review to keep his job safe?This week on The Numbers, we chat about these leadership review results and what they mean. We also discuss new federal polling numbers and the opening moves of the NDP leadership race for contenders Avi Lewis and Heather McPherson. Plus, we break down some new provincial survey results out of Quebec, Manitoba and Nova Scotia.

Bonnie Crombie resigned as leader of the Ontario Liberal Party after a disappointing leadership review. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath discuss how her vote collapsed, how she left the party in better shape, and who comes next. Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles is set to undergo her own leadership review. The party is doing objectively worse than the Ontario Liberals, so Steve and John Michael dissect her chances - and how this event could be a soft launch for the federal party. Doug Ford applauded the City of Vaughn for shutting down its speed camera program, a move that critics say will endanger pedestrians. Steve and JMM discuss why the premier has such a disdain for these devices, which, according to experts, have a lot of upside.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're getting ready to go on summer vacation, but before that we've got some serious business, and in the case of one topic we mean really, really serious. We will once again tackle the ongoing tragedy in Gaza before coming back home to Ontario where education is on the menu again, from your local school board to post-secondary education. Also, we'll keep the education conversation going with this week's guest. This Thursday, July 31, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: "The Worst Case Scenario of Famine..." Just when you think thing couldn't possibly get worse in Gaza, they do. The famine is now undeniable, to the point where even U.S. President Donald Trump couldn't deny it when asked. Benjamin Netanyahu meanwhile says there is no famine, and this despite the fact that people on the ground in Gaza note that not only are people starving to death, they're being killed while trying to get what little food that's coming in. Is this finally enough? 33 and We. Before breaking for summer, the Ontario government revealed Bill 33, which will give them more power over school boards, universities and colleges and even children's aid societies. People have noted the shades of the Student Choice Initiative, which an Ontario court said was unconstitutional, but it also undermines local democracy (again) by overriding the authority of elected school boards. Is this the next great Ford government scandal we're not talking about yet? Fife's Out. We haven't heard about long-term care in a while, but one MPP has been working on one part of that file for almost seven years now. Catherine Fife is trying again to pass a private member's bill to keep senior couple together in long-term care, which sounds simple but has become a year's long project. We will talk to Fife about it, and we will also talk to her about issues around post-secondary education, and how Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles talked about it during her leader's tour stop in the region this week. Programming Note: Open Sources Guelph will be running previously enjoyed episodes on Thursday August 7 and 14. We will back with new episodes on Thursday August 21.  Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

Graham and Scott look back at a recent visit by the Ontario NDP leader; Petes weekend recap

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.

Amanda and Rachael sit down with Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles and Ontario Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie as they enter the last few days of the Ontario election campaign!

Marit Stiles has been the leader of the Ontario NDP and Official Opposition for two years, but this is her first general election. What do voters need to know about what she has on offer before they go to the polls on February 27? How does she plan to unseat Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives? And how does the NDP distinguish itself from Bonnie Crombie's Liberals? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Greg Brady and the panel of: Ana Bailao, former Toronto city councillor, deputy mayor, housing expert Josh DeHaas, counsel with the Canadian Constitution Foundation and co-author of the new book Free Speech in Canada: A beginner's guide from ancient roots to current controversies Discuss: 1. Provincial election one day out - I think a LOT has aligned to frustrate voters, and the snow is no exception - is turnout going to be above 50 percent in the province? 2. Education has barely been touched as an issue - it's been an issue the Ford government has been strong in ignoring, but it's also an issue that the opposition leaders haven't hit on too much - maybe the Ontario NDP has the most to lose - they're embedded in teachers union support, and criticizing test scores and discipline and how our kids have weathered the last 5-6 years…maybe that would seem a bit of a self-own….but I've never seen it less in a provincial election. 3. The high-speed rail line proposed by the federal Liberals has left ALL cities west of Toronto wondering why they're not in the mix - huge populations in Hamilton/Kitchener/London - all struggling to understand why they were cut off from this - maybe it truly is supply and demand and surveys and data show VIA Rail is sufficient - how do you see it? 4. Viral video of a toddler crying at a wedding and an angry bride posting it online.  THAT is its own story - but do you have a recommendation for small creatures that might scream or cry and moan being front/centre at weddings?

In some respects, Wellington-Halton Hills is the riding to watch this year because, for the first time in three decades. it's competitive. Ted Arnott announced that he would not be seeking re-election at the end of the last term, and while the PC Party would like to hold on to this one, opportunity is knocking for the other major parties. Today, Ontario's official opposition will make their case for the riding next door! Of the four major party candidates in Wellington-Halton Hills, only one of them is not presently a politician with a municipal council. Between those four, there's also an even split between candidates representing the urban side of the riding, and the more rural parts. Simone Kent is the from the rural side, and she's the one major party candidate who's not presently in a political office, but that's not to say that she doesn't keep busy. Kent has a unique resume being both a dairy farmer and an education worker. She's stayed active in organizations like Centre Wellington's environmental committee and Jersey Ontario, a non-profit association for Jersey cow owners and breeders. Farming, education, the environment, grassroots organizing: that's about as good as it gets for a resume for an NDP candidate, but what does Kent think of the issues, and what does she want to do as the first MPP in nearly 35 years whose not Ted Arnott? We will get an answer to that and other questions on this week's edition of the podcast as Kent talks about why she's running and being the only major party candidate not already in politics. She will also talk about what an NDP-led Ontario government will do for Ontarians, and what kind of premier Marit Stiles would be. Also, she will discuss, whether Doug Ford has been ignoring Ontario's farmers, and the issues she wants to put front and centre in these last two weeks of this very truncated campaign. So let's dig into the NDP case on this edition of the Wellington-Halton Hills Politicast! You can learn more about the Ontario NDP, their candidates, and their platform at the party's website.

This week, This Matters is publishing episodes of the Toronto Star's new podcast Small Things Big Climate.    The Star is often inundated with emails from readers asking what they can do to fight climate change. While there are lots of things people can do to lower their personal carbon emissions – and it's important to feel like you're part of the solution – individual action cannot end global warming on its own. So in this episode we take a look at community groups working on scaling up individual action to the neighbourhood level, and ask a former environmental activist turned Member of Provincial Parliament whether writing politicians actually makes a difference. Host: Marco Chown Oved, Climate Change Reporter, Toronto Star Guests: David Langille and Julia Morgan, co-chairs of the Pocket Change Project. Peter Tabuns, former head of Greenpeace Canada and the Ontario NDP's environment critic. To hear more episodes, go to Small Things Big Climate or find it in your podcast feed. 

Greg Brady focused in on acrimony coming out of Ottawa. Prime Minister Trudeau is being accused of defending a less than truthful MP, masquerading as an Indigenous politician, when the PM dismissed an honest, ethical MP with loads of integrity, who actually is Indigenous...simply because she wouldn't defend the PM's shady dealings. Next, Michael Barrett, Conservative MP for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, joins us to discuss the drama in Ottawa. And we also lament the state of our justice system when it comes to Canada's most notorious serial killer Paul Bernardo. Lastly, David Miller, former Toronto mayor. He's here to discuss his recent appointment by the NDP to craft a New Deal for municipalities. Learn more about your ad choices.

The next provincial election is two years away, but to turn on your TVs, you'd think we were in the midst of one. Flush with cash, Doug Ford's party is taking out ads attempting to cast the premier as cuddly and contrite. Meanwhile, the Ontario NDP is going all in on the weird side of TikTok, churning out videos so assertively surreal as to approach the level of art.This month, Allison and Jonathan don their leotards and consider Ontario politics' new experimental era.Hosts: Jonathan Goldsbie, Allison SmithCredits: Kattie Laur (Producer), Karyn Pugliese (Editor in Chief), Nathan Burley (Music)Sponsors: DouglasYou can listen ad-free on Amazon Music - included with Prime.If you value this podcast, support us!

An Ontario NDP private members bill declaring intimate partner violence an epidemic drew rare support from the Ford government; Toronto police are crediting time-release safes at pharmacies for the decline in robbery attempts; and, a couple says they are frustrated by their compensation fight with WestJet after flight delays led them to miss two days of their vacation.

The photo has caused outrage in Canada's Jewish community. Last week, the government released an image of the minister of foreign affairs, Melanie Joly, and Ya'ara Saks—her Israeli-Canadian cabinet colleague and Toronto area MP—smiling and holding hands in Ramallah with the leader of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas. The grip and grin photo was taken on March 12, while the two Canadian politicians were on a diplomatic swing through the region, pledging aid to both sides while the war between Israel and Hamas enters its 24th week. The furor over the photo comes just as Canadian lawmakers on Monday are set to debate a key NDP motion in Parliament which, among other things, would see this country unilaterally recognize Palestine as an independent state. Will this motion will pass? What is Canada signalling about whose side they are on, now that Ottawa has also restarted financial aid to UNRWA, blocked export permits for military equipment to Israel and pledged $1 million to investigate sexual assaults on Palestinian prisoners by Israeli police and soldiers? On today's episode of The CJN Daily, we dive into that infamous photo, the upcoming vote and what it all means. With Conservative insider Anthony Koch of AK Strategies; Emma Cunningham, a former Ontario NDP riding president; and Joe Roberts, formerly of JSpace Canada, and now a lobbyist and managing director with Winston Wilmont Public Affairs in Ottawa. What we talked about: Read the NDP motion on recognizing Palestine as an independent state, on the House of Commons website. When the Liberals voted in favour of an NDP motion to re-examine Canada's relationship with Israel and Palestine, in May 2023, on The CJN Daily.

The Ontario NDP kicking Hamilton MPP Sara Jama out of caucus for calling for a cease-fire during the Israeli / Hamas conflict, and the way the Federal NDP is trying to court the Liberal vote, has the party lost its purpose? Where does the left in Canada go from there?

Our hosts Jessa McLean and Santiago Helou Quintero let it all out on the Ontario NDP, Doug Ford's censuring of MPP Sarah Jama, and the attempts to silence Palestinian advocacy.We give a run down of the solidarity being shown and share some key reactions to the Ontario NDP kicking the courageous MPP from their Caucus. What will the political implications be for the Ontario NDP? What is the point of the NDP?More importantly, the discussion turns to the larger pattern of vilifying Palestinian solidarity, movements and tactics in order to drive away calls for a ceasefire.Resources: MPP Sarah Jama on TwitterSpring Magazine: Defend Fred Hahn and Sarah JamaHamilton Labour Council Statement on Twitter (X)--------------All of our content is free - made possible by the generous sponsorships of our Patrons.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail. Greetings you ever-curious, Herle Burly-ites! We are chuffed – chuffed, I tell you – to have a Party big shot on the pod today! And because Party big shots are typically busy people, we're gonna get right to it. Marit Stiles, Leader of the Ontario NDP and the Official Opposition, is our guest.Just a short backgrounder here, because we'll be diving deeper into Marit's personal story on the pod: Born in Newfoundland, as so many of the best people who don't come from Saskatchewan, are. First elected in Davenport in 2018, becoming the riding's 2nd NDP MPP. A passionate advocate for public education, and a community activist, she was a Trustee for the Toronto District School Board for 4 years, beginning in 2014. She served as President of the federal New Democratic Party from 2016 to 2018. And prior to all of that, Marit was the National Director of Public Policy and Research for ACTRA, working to strengthen Canada's arts and cultural sector.So today, we're going to find out much more about who she is, what makes her tick, and why. We'll talk about NDP policy priorities and how she intends to hold Doug Ford's feet to the fire … he's just reversed himself on the Greenbelt, but does it end there? On healthcare and education … on housing affordability and rent … And then we'll get into electoral politics … what she's doing to prepare her party to win in 2026.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

It's the month of April Lavigne... or should we say April La Green? That's right, we're still talking about the princess of pop-punk and also the environmental efforts to preserve Canada's Greenbelt. This week's guest is Marit Stiles, who is the leader of Ontario's NDP and possibly our first ever politician on the pod. Marit shows up around 1:55:20. But you should listen to the whole thing. Georgia is also back with another look at Avril's love life.

Today, we're looking at the Ontario NDP's plan to follow — and expand on — Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek's lead in banning protests near drag events, including controversial all-ages events for kids under threat of a $25,000 fine. Plus, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went on an anti-conservative rant as he spoke at an event held by the Eurasia Group, where his close friend Gerald Butts is a top executive. And finally, former president Donald Trump delivered a speech last night responding to the charges brought against him after he made his first court appearance in New York.
