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, part of The Trillium team of journalists recently nominated for a CJF Jackman Award for Excellence in Journalism for their in-depth reporting on the influence of land developers in Ontario politics.
Speaking of land developers, Smith Cross brings us up to speed on the latest news on the Greenbelt file: deleted emails — and the possibility that some internal government records regarding the scandal "may be irretrievably lost."
She also breaks down this week's big byelection victories for Doug Ford's PCs, and the ongoing reaction to Stephen Lecce's promised crackdown on student cellphone use in schools.
