“I didn't get into politics to stand on the sidelines,” she said on social media Friday. “I am ready to build an Ontario that works for everyone.” Fairclough says she would focus on affordability, improving health care and education. She began her career as a radiation therapist and later took on a leadership role at Toronto's Centre for Addiction and Mental Health before becoming president of St. Mary's General Hospital in Kitchener, Ont.

Hand that over to me, I'll show you how to do a roundabout in months, as opposed to 13 years. I'll show you how to do a speed bump. Ford called Toronto's city council the most dysfunctional political arena in the entire country when asked about the report and blamed radical left councillors for the city's problems.

Stiles told CBC News recently that in the months after the vote she has spent more time travelling the province. She's not just reaching out to her own party faithful, but also trying to connect with people who feel disengaged from politics, she said. I've been out there on the road, all across the province, and not just meeting with members, she said.

Queen's Park security eventually cleared the public gallery in order to complete the final vote on Bill 60.

Bradley served at Queen's Park from 1977 until 2018, when he returned to local politics. He had first been elected to St. Catharines city council in 1970, when he was 25, and was again elected to represent that city in Niagara Regional Council 48 years later. Soon after, council elected him regional chair, and the provincial government reappointed him to the position in 2022.

This is a cash grab off taxpayers. Nothing more, nothing less, he said, adding he offered to personally demonstrate for mayors how to slow traffic. I will stand in an area where you want to calm the traffic, and I'll show you how to calm the traffic instantly. It's not that they don't know how to do it. They don't want to do it because it's a cash grab.

Ontario's two largest opposition parties are grappling with dissension within their ranks, and experts say the work to unify their members and rebuild their parties will be difficult and could complicate their missions to defeat Doug Ford in the next provincial election. Both the Ontario New Democrats and Liberals emerged from party conventions this month with questions looming about their respective futures.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he will maintain his ban on American booze despite Canada dropping some retaliatory tariffs in the ongoing trade war with the United States. Ford says he will drop the ban on selling U.S. alcohol at the Liquor Control Board of Ontario when U.S. President Donald Trump removes tariffs placed on Canadian goods or when the two countries strike a new free trade deal.

Ford emphasized that First Nations should not keep approaching the government for financial help, indicating a desire for autonomy in economic development.

"We do not stand with Ontario in support of Bill 5," Gagnon said in a statement. "We do stand in support of the other First Nations in Ontario who are opposed to Bill 5 and working to have it thrown out."

"The Ministry has yet to formally initiate the mandatory review of the Greenbelt Plan, which was supposed to start earlier this year, raising concerns among critics."

"We are going to enunciate explicitly in each one that the duty to consult is there and it will be upheld to the highest standards," Rickford said.

Scarborough Coun. Michael Thompson testified that he never touched the complainants and denied any sexual assault allegations, asserting that no one was inebriated.

Integrity Commissioner J. David Wake's report emphasizes that Mr. Mutton's actions undermine transparency and public confidence, leading to a two-year lobbying ban.
