3 w. ago Here's Doug Ford's Ontario election victory speech and plans for his third term

Doug Ford was re-elected for his third term as Premier of Ontario on Thursday night, evoking mixed reactions across the province.The Progressive Conservative (PC) party's third consecutive majority victory is certainly a rare one — a feat not seen since 1959 — and also took place during the first winter election the province has had in 44 years.Despite public uproar regarding Ford's many scandals over his tenure, only 45 per cent of eligible residents turned out to have their say in the snap vote, which was called just 29 days prior to election day.The result was disappointing to many in downtown Toronto, which appears on result maps as a mosaic of NDP orange and Liberal red amid the sea of PC blue that dominated the vast majority of the rest of southern Ontario.Greeting his constituents right after the win, Ford, jubilant and relieved, repeatedly thanked the crowd for their cheers and applause before commenting on the evening.Doug Ford re-elected Pre...

It's election day in Ontario.Doug Ford's incumbent Progressive Conservative Party (PC) is seeking re-election to a third consecutive term. The main opponents are the Ontario Liberal Party (OLP) led by Bonnie Crombie, the Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP) led by Marit Stiles, and the Green Party of Ontario (GPO) led by Mike Schreiner.Normally, Ontarians are mailed a voter card that they can bring to their assigned voting location.However, the string of winter storms in the province has led Canada Post to warn about delayed deliveries, so you may not have gotten one in time.

3 w. ago New signs suggest delayed Toronto LRT line may finally be opening soon

The day of the Ontario general election is as good of a time as any to assess the failures that have taken place under various provincial leaders, one of the most glaring of which is the bungling of some of the province's largest transit projects.Now five years past due and in an unbelievable 14th year of construction is, of course, the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, a line that promises to shuttle thousands of passengers per hour across 19 kilometres of the city, but which has become a blight known far and wide for never actually reaching completion.And, while the Finch West LRT — a line that started construction an entire eight years later — at first appeared to be progressing much better, it has also run into its share of delays. Though the province announced Line 6's completion back in September, an actual opening date has yet to be announced, as is still also the case with the even more beleaguered Line 5.But, there ha...
