Farmers, environmentalists and even Bay Street financiers are coming together to put food and water first.

If Ontario does not close the loopholes in provincial legislation that fail to protect local food and water, we're shooting ourselves in the foot. It is unsustainable and irresponsible for Ontario to dig...

No nuclear project has ever come in on time or on budget in Ontario.

The existing Darlington reactors came in $10 billion over budget. The recent refurbishment at Bruce Nuclear is $2 billion over budget and three years behind schedule. Standard and Poor revised its outlook on Ontario Power...

I want our kids to have access to the best possible public education. I want them to be happy and safe. And I want to provide them with the tools they need to succeed.

Unfortunately, our education system is under threat. Ontario has had an education crisis under successive NDP,...

Ontario has followed the same basic transportation strategy for decades. We build more roads, traffic congestion increases. The result? Longer commutes. Less farmland. Frustrating traffic jams. Soaring asthma rates.

Clearly, the status quo isn't working. Ontario needs change. Gridlock costs $6 billion per year in the GTHA alone....

Wayne Gretzky became The Great One because he skated to where the puck was going to be, not where it had been. He understood that winning required anticipating the future. The same can be said for fostering a great economy in Ontario.

Ontario desperately needs a bold plan to...

Ontario desperately needs political leadership that puts cooperation for the public interest ahead of partisan attacks. Unfortunately, this leadership was not on display at Queen's Park last week.

Less than 48 hours after Kathleen Wynne was elected Liberal leader and the next Premier, the opposition parties at Queen's Park were...

I'm concerned. I think most of us know that we have to take action, but unfortunately the political establishment has its head buried in the sand.

Whether it was your morning paper or a can of pop, it's likely you put something in your blue box today. Thank you -- together, as Ontarians, we have embraced the blue box and are now recycling 67 per cent of our packaging and printed materials.

But unfortunately, Ontario still...

There is nothing like food to bring people together. The holiday season is rich with traditions around the kitchen table that strengthen our families and communities. Yet for many these traditions are under threat from a broken food system that leaves people hungry.

It's a sad reality that as we...

The government and teachers need to be talking about getting Ontario schools working again. Our kids' education is too important. Disruptions in the classroom need to end.

Three successive governments in Ontario, NDP, PC and Liberal, have created crises in our education system: Rae Days under the NDP,...

The Melancthon Mega Quarry is dead. A coalition of farmers, foodies, artists, First Nations and environmentalists have stopped the biggest quarry proposal in Canada.

The news spread like wildfire on social media after the Highlands Company announced on Wednesday it was withdrawing its application to build a limestone...

Balancing budgets are about making tough choices.

These choices are important. They define who we are, and the kind of province we want.

Last week's much anticipated report on reforming social assistance programs -- "Brighter Prospects: Transforming Social Assistance in Ontario" -- presents an opportunity for Ontario to...

Dalton McGuinty's decision to prorogue parliament shows his contempt for Ontario's Legislature. It is a slap in the face of democracy.

Proroguing parliament for partisan advantage violates the very premise of responsible government. It says that a democratically elected legislature is an inconvenience that can be shut down when the...
