Doug Ford and his government are cowards.

They just announced the Ontario Legislature won’t be coming back until the end of October.

They’re afraid to face basic questions about their actions and are running away from their scandals and wasteful spending.

It’s time for change in Ontario.

Everyone else, get back to the office. #onpoli

The Ontario legislature is expected to rise today after seven weeks. MPPs have spent just 29 days introducing, debating and passing legislation.

Queen’s Park is now widely expected to take an extended summer break - with 5 planned sitting weeks to be erased.

For me, leadership is about building for the future, not just the next election.

That means strengthening healthcare, creating opportunities for young people and families, and building a modern economy that works for everyone.

The choices we make today will shape Ontario for decades to come. Let's get them right.

For the record.

Mark Carney’s address to the Economic Club of New York was a disciplined, strategically framed intervention that should resonate with business leaders on both sides of the border.

In tone and content, it was exactly the kind of message markets look for from a G7 head of government: pro‑growth, geopolitically literate, and grounded in concrete avenues for investment and partnership.

Carney’s central assertion – that a strong Canada can “help make America great again” – recasts the Canada–U.S. relationship in explicitly pragmatic terms.

Rather than positioning Canada as a counterweight to U.S. economic nationalism, he presented it as a force multiplier for the United States’ own strategic objectives in energy security, supply chains, AI infrastructure, and re‑industrialization.

That framing is shrewd. It acknowledges the realities of a more assertive U.S. trade and industrial policy while offering a collaborative model that can lower costs, reduce risk, and accelerate execution for American firms and investors.

The speech was also notable for its business‑ready specificity. By highlighting Canada’s role as a reliable provider of energy, critical minerals, food, advanced manufacturing, and clean power, Carney translated geopolitical themes into investable opportunities.

His emphasis on rule‑of‑law institutions, regulatory predictability, and a growing network of trade and investment partnerships positioned Canada as an attractive platform for capital seeking both exposure to North American growth and insulation from global volatility.

Equally important was the tone: confident but not complacent, aligned with U.S. strategic priorities without being deferential. Carney managed to speak fluently to Trump’s “America First” agenda while articulating Canada’s own interests with clarity and self‑respect. For corporate leaders, financiers, and policymakers, the result was a reassuring message: Ottawa understands the new landscape, is prepared to work within it, and is focused on building a North American framework that can support durable growth, competitiveness, and security over the coming decade.

CARNEY: Canada following Danish model. We're partnering with Ukrainian defense contractors, financing production of drones and other for Ukraine’s defence. Then we're building capacity in Canada for our own future defence, because cutting edge of defensive warfare is in Ukraine.

Dominic LeBlanc on Pete Hoekstra whining about the booze ban: "Let's remind ourselves David, the provincial governments made those decisions in response to the American tariffs which didn't respect the free trade agreement. Retaliation on a retaliatory measure."

Just for clarity, despite statements to the contrary, I will not be performing at the Great American State Fair.

[James Moore @honjamesmoore]

We have a “deal”. It is CUSMA. It was negotiated in good faith by Canada at the request of President Trump. If he doesn’t like his own agreement, ok. There’s a process to discuss. But we should always be looking at diversifying our export markets on a reciprocal basis.

@RobCerjanec @Metrolinx @GOtransit I’m concerned about their ability to handle World Cup commuters. Coming home from the Toronto/Messi match, the train had to switch trains at Union - confusion as people forced to leave one train and get on another platform. Why can’t the LSW train just always turn into an LSE?

[Robert Benzie @robertbenzie]

NEW: A detailed analysis by the @TorontoStar’s @dmrider, @katecallen and Nathan Pilla finds Premier Doug Ford’s “strong mayor” powers have accomplished little. Only 2% of decisions using the authority have been related to building housing.

Ajax MPP Rob Cerjanec has officially launched his Ontario Liberal leadership campaign, under the slogan “Let’s Build Ontario,” with a focus on rebuilding the party and offering a “credible alternative” to Ford’s PCs. There are now four official candidates in the race. #onpoli

[Jim Calder 🇨🇦 @progright]

Durham Region is often overlooked at Queen’s Park, and having a leader from Durham would be a huge asset for Ontario. The OLP also needs fundamental change in how it operates and engages volunteers and I believe Rob is the person to lead that renewal. #OLPLDR #onpoli

[Rob Cerjanec @RobCerjanec]

Today, I officially launched my campaign to become the next leader of the Ontario Liberal Party.

Ontario families are working harder than ever and getting less for it. We need a government focused on affordability, healthcare, education, and opportunity again.

Let’s build Ontario.
