Welcome back to Trillium Talk, your must-see briefing from Village Media’s team of journalists at the Ontario Legislature.
Now that the provincial election campaign is over, our regular Sunday morning catch-up with staffers at The Trillium is back to its regular weekend time slot.
On the show today is deputy editor Sneh Duggal, who breaks down another chaotic week in the on-again, off-again tariff war driven by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Although Trump did another about-face on Thursday, announcing a temporary partial backtrack on some of the tariffs he put in place two days earlier, Ontario Premier Doug Ford is vowing to push through on his plan to add 25 per cent to the price of electricity that flows to the United States.
Ford says the surcharge, set to take effect Monday, will remain in place until Trump "drops the tariffs completely."
"Isn't this a shame?" Ford told reporters at Queen's Park on Thursday. "This whole thing with President Trump is an absolute mess."
Also on the show today: Ontario has reached an agreement in principle with the feds on extending $10-a-day child-care — but the province wants more than the $16.77 billion Ottawa is offering.

Welcome to a special edition of Trillium Talk, your must-see briefing from Village Media’s team of journalists at the Ontario Legislature.
Although this segment usually runs on Sunday mornings, we've been ramping things up now that a provincial election has been set for Feb. 27.
Every weekday during the campaign — which officially ends tonight — Village Media's Scott Sexsmith has sat down with one of our staffers at The Trillium to talk about the big developments of the day.
On the show today is reporter Charlie Pinkerton, who followed PC Leader Doug Ford back to the Windsor area today — the same part of the province where the PC Leader kicked off his campaign on Jan. 29.
Ford is expected to finish his day in the riding of Mississauga East—Cooksville, where Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie is in a close fight to win the seat.
For her part, Crombie is spending the final hours of the campaign touring through Oakville, Mississauga and Hamilton, while NDP Leader Marit Stiles is in Toronto, Niagara Falls, Hamilton and the riding of York—South Weston.
Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner is spending the bulk of the day in Kitchener Centre, where MPP Aislinn Clancy is hoping to hang onto her seat.
Ontarians head to the polls tomorrow morning. Be sure to check out our site for all the latest news, including live election results.

The Highway 401 tunnel? It's in there, too, but without an official cost estimate.

In a special edition of Trillium Talk, Ontario's Green Party leader joins our 'Inside the Village' podcast for a wide-ranging conversation ahead of election day.
Welcome to a special edition of Trillium Talk, your must-see briefing from The Trillium, Village Media’s team of journalists at the Ontario Legislature.
For today’s episode, we once again pass the mic to the hosts of our Inside the Village podcast, who sat down for an in-depth conversation with Ontario Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner.
Schreiner is one of two Green MPPs looking to get re-elected, and he’s confident voters are on the brink of sending some more representatives to Queen’s Park on Feb. 27.
Our interview covers a lot of ground — from affordable housing to climate change to Schreiner's American roots. (In case you didn't know, he grew up on a family farm in Kansas before moving to Ontario.)
We also ask Schreiner just how close he came to running for the Liberal Party leadership after the last election.
For the record, we have invited each of the major party leaders to join us on the podcast for an election-campaign conversation. Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie chatted with us last week and our interview with NDP Leader Marit Stiles was posted yesterday.
PC Leader Doug Ford declined our invitation, saying through a spokesperson that “we’re unable to accommodate this request.”
Voters head to the polls in exactly in six days, on Feb. 27.

In a special edition of Trillium Talk, Ontario's NDP leader joins our 'Inside the Village' podcast for a deep-dive discussion from the campaign trail — one week before voters make their choice.
Welcome to a special edition of Trillium Talk, your must-see briefing from The Trillium, Village Media’s team of journalists at the Ontario Legislature.
For today’s episode, we pass the mic to the hosts of our Inside the Village podcast, who sat down for an in-depth conversation with NDP Leader Marit Stiles.
The conversation covers a lot of ground — from grocery rebates to the doctor shortage to the NDP’s plans for protecting renters.
We also ask Stiles what her party is doing to win back the support of some trade unions, who have steered toward PC Leader Doug Ford in recent years.
For the record, we have invited each of the major party leaders to join us on the podcast for an election-campaign conversation. Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie chatted with us last week, and Green Leader Mike Schreiner’s interview will be posted tomorrow.

He also lays out what PC party researchers have unearthed from the social media pages of some Liberal candidates.
One candidate in particular, Viresh Bansal, has apologized for a Twitter reply he posted in 2023 that cheered on the assassination of a Canadian Sikh activist and called Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "gay."
With eight days left to go in the campaign, the gloves are definitely coming off.

NDP Leader Marit Stiles will be in Sudbury this afternoon to unveil her party's northern platform, while Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner was in the riding of Dufferin—Caledon this morning.
PC Leader Doug Ford doesn't have any public events planned for Thursday — one day after returning from Washington, where joined fellow provincial premiers in meetings with White House officials.
They didn't get any face time with U.S. President Donald Trump, but the premiers said they're optimistic that their anti-tariff message is being heard.
As for Canada becoming the 51st state, that rhetoric isn't slowing down. As soon as the premiers left, Trump's deputy chief of staff for legislative affairs took to X.
"Pleasant meeting with the Premiers," wrote James Blair. "To be clear, we never agreed that Canada would not be the 51st state."

Ford is definitely not alone on his anti-tariff tour. All of his fellow provincial premiers are with him in the U.S. capitol, along with federal Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc.
As DeClerq reports, the "Team Canada" contingent is cautiously optimistic they can convince Republicans that U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to impose punishing tariffs on Canada is not in anyone's best interest.

In a special edition of Trillium Talk, Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie joins our 'Inside the Village' podcast for a deep-dive discussion about her party's campaign promises.
Welcome to a special edition of Trillium Talk, your must-see briefing from Village Media’s team of journalists at the Ontario Legislature.
For today’s episode, The Trillium passes the mic to the hosts of our Inside the Village podcast, who sat down for an in-depth conversation with Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie.
The interview covers a lot of ground — from the province's doctor shortage to homeless encampments to the Liberal party's Super Bowl ads.
We also ask Crombie — who was elected as party leader a little more than a year ago — if she thinks she has the name recognition to catch Doug Ford in the polls.
Oh, and push-ups. We talk about that, too.
For the record, we’ve invited each of the party leaders to join us on the podcast for an election-campaign conversation. Stay tuned for those (if any others agree).

Every weekday during the campaign, Village Media's Scott Sexsmith will sit down with one of our staffers at The Trillium to talk about the big developments of the day.
On the show today is reporter Charlie Pinkerton, who was in downtown Toronto to cover campaign events with both Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie and NDP Leader Marit Stiles.
Stiles, who was joined by the president of the Ontario Nurses Association, is promising to the boost the number of nurses across the province by 15,000 over the next three years.
Crombie, meanwhile, stuck to the main agenda on her platform: the Liberals' promise to get every Ontarian a family doctor within the next four years.
Interestingly, talk also turned coyotes. Speaking to reporters, the Liberal candidate in Spadina—Fort York blamed a recent spike in downtown coyote attacks on the Ford-approved demolition of Ontario Place. (The site is being redeveloped by Therme, an Austrian spa company.)
Speaking of attacks, Ford is facing fresh criticism for tomorrow's mid-campaign trip to Washington, where he will join fellow premiers in lobbying against Trump's threatened tariffs. Look for full coverage of the Washington trip here.

Every weekday during the campaign, Village Media's Scott Sexsmith will sit down with one of our staffers at The Trillium to talk about the big developments of the day.
On the show today is deputy editor Sneh Duggal, who covered Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie's campaign stop in Scarborough Thursday morning.
Health care was at the top of the agenda — more specifically, the Liberals' plan to ensure everyone in the province has a family doctor.
Crombie laid out a lot of promises, including opening up two more medical schools in Ontario and improving health team networks across the province. She also made a point of saying it's time for doctors to scrap their fax machines in the name of efficiency.
At one point, Duggal asked Crombie about one of the slogans plastered on her campaign bus: "11,000 PEOPLE DIED WAITING FOR SURGERY LAST YEAR." Data obtained by The Trillium suggests that figure is actually a lot lower.
Stay tuned for more on that story.

On the show today is reporter Alan S. Hale, who covered Doug Ford's campaign stop in Pickering on Wednesday afternoon.
As always, Hale had a question to ask the PC Leader — but was abruptly cut off because Ford's campaign has suddenly decided to limit media questions to six per press conference for the remainder of the election campaign.
Trust us, our reporters will keep trying.
As for the other party leaders, the NDP's Marit Stiles was in Toronto today, Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie was in Hamilton and Mike Schreiner of the Green Party was in his home community of Guelph.

Welcome to a special edition of Trillium Talk, your must-see briefing from Village Media’s team of journalists at the Ontario Legislature.
Although this segment usually runs on Sunday mornings, we're ramping things up now that a provincial election has been set for Feb. 27.
Every weekday during the campaign, Village Media's Scott Sexsmith will sit down with one of our staffers at The Trillium to talk about the big developments of the day.
On the show today is Katherine DeClerq, who covered a defiant Doug Ford at a press conference today in his riding of Etobicoke North.
A day after pulling U.S. booze from LCBO shelves, Ford also announced further retaliation against U.S. President Donald Trump's looming tariffs, scheduled to take effect on Tuesday.
Most notably, the province is "ripping up" a $100-million deal with Elon Musk’s Starlink that would have provided satellite internet to thousands of Ontario homes and businesses.
The PC leader and current premier also announced Monday morning that Ontario would ban all U.S. companies from provincial contracts until Trump's tariffs are removed.
"Every year, the Ontario government and its agencies spend $30 billion on procurement, alongside our $200 billion plan to build Ontario," Ford said. "U.S.-based businesses will now lose out on tens of billions of dollars in new revenues. They only have President Trump to blame."

Welcome to a special edition of Trillium Talk, your must-see briefing from Village Media’s team of journalists at the Ontario Legislature.
Although this segment usually runs on Sunday mornings, we're ramping things up now that Doug Ford has officially triggered a provincial election.
Every weekday during the campaign, Village Media's Scott Sexsmith will sit down with one of our staffers at The Trillium to talk about the big developments of the day.
On the show today is reporter Jack Hauen, who is following the NDP's Marit Stiles on the lone campaign bus being used by party leaders in this year's election. (Doug Ford, Bonnie Crombie and Mike Schreiner are travelling by other means this time around).
One of Stiles' stops today was at a union hall in Windsor, where she promised to protect autoworkers from U.S. President Donald Trump's looming tariffs. Outside, Hauen protected himself from the rain as he joined us for a chat.
As for the other leaders, Ford is in Niagara Region today, Crombie stopped in Scarborough and Schreiner paid a visit to the riding of Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound.
