Randall Denley: Ford wisely keeps his cool over Stelco's layoffs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is showing admirable restraint in the face of the latest tariff-related layoffs. Tuesday, Stelco announced the indefinite layoff of 350 steelworkers in Hamilton and Nanticoke, Ont. citing U.S. tariffs. One would have expected a classic rant from the premier, something along the lines of his pouring out a bottle of Crown Royal whisky last fall and complaining loudly because the distiller was closing an Ontario bottling plant (even though the product would still be made a
Randall Denley: Ontario's fiscal mess isn't just bad — it's getting worse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A series of new reports leads to only one logical conclusion: Ontario’s government finances are in a mess and getting worse. The provincial government’s current deficit projections are almost certainly optimistic and so are its numbers for future spending in key ministries, according to analyses by Ontario’s Financial Accountability Office (FAO). On the deficit, even the Ford government’s own numbers aren’t good. Ontario’s most recent budget projects a deficit of $13.8 billion in 2026-27, $6.1 b
Randall Denley: Cheerleading for Mark Carney isn't a sound economic plan, Premier Ford (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everything that’s wrong with Ontario’s approach to economic development was on full display Wednesday. In just one public event, Premier Doug Ford demonstrated his belief that companies need a government handout to build in Ontario, endorsed the backward-looking approach that favours old, failing industries over new ones, and continued his vigorous cheerleading for Mark Carney, whether the prime minister’s economic plans are good for Ontario or not. The occasion was the opening of a Toronto vacc
Randall Denley: Won't anyone stop unions and politicians from screwing up another Ontario school year? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ontario’s public schools are facing a year of potential labour disruption by the province’s big teaching unions, which as of last week are working without a contract. It’s frustrating and unnecessary. The grownups in the government and the unions both say their only concern is the welfare of the kids in schools. If so, maybe they should get new contracts signed so that parents and students don’t have to worry about another year of uncertainty. They saw enough of that in 2019-20, when people who
Randall Denley: It's not worth a trade war to save Ontario's foreign-owned car plants (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The future of Ontario’s auto sector has become a major sticking point in trade negotiations with the U.S. For Ontario Premier Doug Ford, auto parts and manufacturing must be preserved at all costs. It’s easy to see why Ford, elected on a promise of job protection, would champion the highly visible auto sector, but is this the right battle to fight? The so-called Canadian vehicle-assembly industry is foreign-owned and dependent on a steady flow of government subsidies. No matter how much federal
