In cities and towns across Ontario — and at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill — our journalists work for you. Their mission is to dig for answers and tell you what they find.
This new feature — ‘Closer Look’ — is a chance to hear directly from those reporters and editors.
These conversations go beyond the headlines, helping viewers better understand how we gather the details that land in your local news feed.
On tonight's episode: Meet your next prime minister.
Former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney won the Liberal leadership in a landslide victory last night, capturing victory on the first ballot with a whopping 86 per cent of votes.

In his victory speech, Carney thanked the other candidates and spoke about the importance of unity, particularly in light of the tariff threats coming from the United States.
“America is not Canada," he said. "And Canada never, ever, will be part of America in any way, shape or form. We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves. So Americans should make no mistake, in trade as in hockey, Canada will win.”
Village Media's Katherine DeClerq, the editor of ParliamentToday, joins us tonight to talk about Carney's big win — and when Canadians can expect an election call. You can read her coverage HERE.
