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.

On the show today is reporter Aidan Chamandy, who stumbled upon some very interesting internal government documents while surfing the web. (Spoiler alert: the Ford government is considering setting up a new agency to speed up public infrastructure projects.)

Chamandy also walks us through an eventful press conference with the premier, who shared his thoughts on everything from the U.S. presidential race to the now-finished LCBO strike. For the record, Ford thinks "it was time" for Biden "to move on" — but doesn't "care" who wins the election, as long as the new president is willing to work with America's northern neighbour.

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 deputy editor Sneh Duggal, who uncovered some big news about stalled plans for childcare spaces at Ontario schools. According to a document obtained through a freedom-of-information request, 56 planned childcare projects have been classified as "cancelled" — potentially costing around $11 million in "sunk costs."

Duggal also brings us up to speed on the latest meeting of the Council of the Federation (COF), a group that includes all 13 provincial and territorial premiers. Doug Ford is set to take over as chair of the group on Aug. 1, and he spoke to reporters about his top priorities.

Every Sunday morning, one of our legislative reporters from The Trillium provides an inside look at the week that was in Ontario politics — and the week ahead.

Joining us today is reporter Charlie Pinkerton, who explains why Doug Ford is featured in a new video flipping burgers and talking booze. He also breaks down the big revelations contained in newly released documents about the Ontario Science Centre.

Spoiler alert: the now-shuttered building will remain permanently closed.
