The City of Toronto has passed a motion opposing the Ford government’s takeover of Billy Bishop Airport.

If passed, the province would take over the City of Toronto’s role in the tripartite agreement between the City, Toronto Port Authority and the federal government that governs the airport. It would also take ownership of city-owned lands at the airport, including one-third…

Ontario’s opposition parties called on Premier Doug Ford to apologize for a personal insult he hurled — and repeated — at a Liberal member of provincial parliament Thursday during a debate about a law that restricts public access to his records.

Liberal critic Stephanie Smyth, who worked for decades as a broadcast journalist before entering politics, asked Ford why a premier who claims to be highly accountable is making it hard…

A 911 call was the focus on Thursday at the trial for a MiWay bus driver involved in a fatal crash three years ago in Mississauga. Both sides presented their final theories at the judge-only trial, with the Crown saying the bus driver was distracted and panicked and failed to apply the brakes until after the crash, while the defence says there’s too much reasonable doubt to support that claim.
