The Ford government’s work to address public safety is seen as “largely ineffective” according to internal polling conducted on behalf of the province earlier this year, with respondents saying its efforts on auto theft, public drug use and cracking down on repeat offenders are missing the mark.

The public opinion survey was conducted by the Leger polling firm on behalf of the government in March and gauged the views of more than 2,000 respondents across the province. The poll, released after CBC News requested it through freedom of information laws, asked a series of questions about how the Progressive Conservatives are handling more than a dozen public safety issues.

In Nov. 2025, The Needle opened an investigation into McMaster University’s collaboration with an anti-trans hate group which promotes pseudoscience about trans people. The Needle’s earlier coverage showed that SEGM paid over $300,000 CAD to the Canadian University to suit politically-aimed research objectives.

Now, according to a new batch of records released under Canada’s Freedom of Information laws, it is clear that SEGM’s control of the research went deeper than previously reported.

The Ontario Liberals are calling on the provincial government to coordinate the end of the semi-annual time change with the Quebec government, warning two time zones in the national capital region would create many challenges.

Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, with clocks set to go back one hour.

Many States in the US allow this and it's old hat in Europe. Imagine hanging solar panels off your balcony plugged into the outside plug reducing your power bills. Maybe preventing Ontario needing to buy power from the States.

While people in the National Capital Region will enjoy an extra hour of sleep on Sunday, it could be the last time Gatineau residents wind back their clocks, according to Quebec’s new premier.

Loved this video, as someone who uses this system frequently, I am going to miss it when I move.

The Bank of Canada raised its key interest rate for the first time since July 2023 Wednesday to tamp down inflation, a hike Ontario Premier Doug Ford panned as “a massive mistake.”

“Higher rates won’t get oil moving through the Strait of Hormuz or lower tariffs on Canadian businesses. They will only make life more expensive for Canadian families and workers, punishing them for something they can’t control,” Ford wrote in a tweet before the announcement was made this morning.

Their anti-Trump bromance is paying off politically. What Canadians get out of it is harder to say

Instead of firing this asshat for theft or public tax dollars , he’s shifted him into a new position which he’s unqualified for while the entire education system is being gutted.

Every time conservatives win, everyone but the ultra rich lose.

Fuck Doug Ford
