I think it’s a crisis that kids are growing up with no knowledge of Robin Hood & Merlin, Charlotte and Babar, Ratty and Badger and Long John Silver. In the words of Katherine Rundell, “We need to be infinitely more furious that there are children without books.”

“I fear we are careening toward a future with fewer and fewer journalists to do the expensive, difficult work of original reporting — going to places, talking to people, digging up information, covering important issues and events, providing context…” https://t.co/nNPZLHscXe

'Absolutely not': the health minister has rejected claims that Ontario has entered a two-tier health-care system.

As advocates rallied at Queen's Park, Sylvia Jones argued funding private clinics is about convenience, not privatization. https://t.co/KlxQF1dgL1

Casting new light on the Charter’s s. 11(b) right to trial within a reasonable time, #SCC elaborated on how the Jordan presumptive time limits on trial delay & legal framework for assessing undue delay operate in unusually complex criminal cases: R. v. Vrbanic, 2026 SCC 19.

New FOI data: majority of Ontario students are rejecting the Ford government’s e-learning mandate.

70% of the first graduating class opted out or were exempt.

The province calls it a tool for digital literacy. Critics say it's a cost-cutting measure: https://t.co/a9aqpP98vC

I still have no idea why @TinaYazdani was forced to leave City News but she and her colleagues at the @Thetrilliumca are absolutely killing it with stories like this. https://t.co/5AdMFSFXS6

NEW: The latest in Premier Doug Ford's cellphone transparency saga:

The government's appeal of a court order has been dismissed, the IPC's directive to hand over records is back in force:

Civil servants have been told to “obtain from the affected party (Ford) any government or departmental related entries from his personal cell phone’s call.”

The government's retroactive FOI changes however could block that.

The freedom of information freeze has thawed.

The IPC asked the government about our reporting and was told FOIs were paused while guidance was put together on how to implement the new access restrictions — which has now been given.

No accountability. From the moment we arrived at this press conference we were instructed to ask “on-topic” questions only, and that we would be given “one question each” when we were called on. I was never called on & Premier Ford refused to take my questions.

NEW: Official government documents written and saved in Google Docs are no longer covered by Ontario’s freedom of information laws, the province has decreed, as its transparency clampdown continues to roll out.
