In the months since winning its third consecutive majority, Doug Ford’s government has proposed or passed a flurry of laws with the potential to reshape Ontario.
But with aggressively vague names like the “Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act,” it can be hard to keep track of which bill does what — let alone all the ways they’ll impact the lives of the people who call the province home.
On this episode of Sources, PressProgress Ontario reporter Eric Wickham asks The Trillium’s Jack Hauen to speak to all the bills beloved by Ford. He also goes on a walk with associate editor Jonathan Goldsbie, to try to ground the reforms in Toronto’s physical reality.
