Welcome back to Trillium Talk, your must-see briefing from Village Media’s team of journalists at the Ontario Legislature.
Every Sunday, Scott Sexsmith sits down with one of our staffers at The Trillium to talk about the week that was at Queen's Park — and the week ahead.
Joining us today is Editor-in-Chief Jessica Smith Cross, whose team recently marked their one-year launch anniversary.
She breaks down the latest news on the Ring of Fire, and also explains how a pending piece of legislation will bring relief to Ontario homeowners scammed by door-to-door agents selling furnaces and water heaters.
Highways were also in the headlines, with the NDP pushing a plan to remove truck tolls on Highway 407 in order to free up space on Highway 401. Doug Ford's Tories hit the brakes on that idea, voting it down by a wide margin.
