TRILLIUM TALK: Retiring judge takes jab at Doug Ford on the way out

Every Sunday morning, one of our legislative reporters from The Trillium provides an inside look at the week that was in Ontario politics — and the week ahead

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.

Joining us today is Editor-in-Chief Jessica Smith Cross, whose talented team recently marked their one-year anniversary with Village.

The Trillium broke a lot more news this week about Doug Ford's controversial push to appoint "like-minded" judges and justices of the peace — including what one of Ontario's most respected appeal court judges had to say about it.

Daycare was also hot topic after our exclusive reporting revealed that some centres opted in — then immediately out — of the province's $10-a-day program in order to score their clients a rebate.

And in case you hadn't heard, former Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk is now writing a column for The Trillium. Her latest explores the need for a more coordinated immigration plan.
