NEW: Ontario’s transparency watchdog has been forced to “intervene” after the solicitor general’s office repeatedly ignored orders to release information.
It’s part of a trend which has also raised questions about political interference. #OnPoli

Ontario watchdog ‘intervening’ after solicitor general ignores transparency orders | Globalnews.ca
There have been several instances in recent years where the IPC has told the solicitor general's office to release information, only for the government to ignore the decree.

If ever there was a reason for recall legislation it is the total disdain politicians have for accountability
What we’d once consider a scandal is now just another day in Doug Ford’s Ontario.
A $16 orange juice once ended a political career. Today, government shrugs off allegations of a billion-dollar slush fund — the result of a decade of far-right impunity.

For the next 25 or 30 years, while the boomer housing crisis is upon us, retrofitting and upgrading existing social housing units makes a lot more financial and environmental sense. Has anyone looked at the landfill capacity for demolition waste?

Trump style BS wont work here....voters in Ontario demand facts or their vote goes elsewhere
When the Ford government announced that it was forcing the Somerset West Community Health Centre to close its supervised consumption site, they quoted unsourced stats about local crime rates. They lied. Crime actually went down significantly when the CTS was open.
Crime rate around Somerset supervised consumption site lower than government suggested when announcing closure
The crime rate around the Somerset West Community Health Centre did not rise to the figures put forward by the provincial government last year when announcing the closure of its supervised consumption...

"Elbows Up" was meant to find alternatives, not capitulate to the best case scenario for maximum US trade under Trump
In this existential 'Elbows Up' moment for Canada's economy, public discourse has been overly influenced by loud demands from corporations & their political backers to implement their age-old agenda: deregulate (especially environmental rules), cut taxes, build more pipelines. /2

Requiring each service provider to build their own network makes as much sense as making each car manufacturer build their own highway. Time for the government to start governing.

"Moral scolding" wont work...we need enforceable regulations that the Competition Bureau, CRTC et al can use to balance the inherent power of large corporations.

One of Mark Carney's first priorities should be depolarizing our politics and protecting us from foreign-funded disinformation and other deliberate attempts at division.
The best way to do that? Electoral reform. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/30/o...
