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 Jack Hauen, who is ready to hit the campaign trail.
Premier Doug Ford confirmed on Friday that he's going to call a snap election on Wednesday because he says he needs a new mandate to fight Donald Trump's promised tariffs — "the largest attack in the history of our country."
Hauen also brings up to speed on taxpayer-funded private investigators snooping around supervised consumption sites, and questions over the province's $100-million deal with Elon Musk's Starlink.
The provincial election campaign will last one month, with Ontarians heading to the polls on Feb. 27. Be sure to follow your local news site and The Trillium for all you need to know.
