Ontario’s government faces backlash for shielding cabinet records from transparency laws while advancing minor policy changes.
Ontario’s legislature resumed after a 14-week break, kicking off a condensed spring session leading to the March 26 budget.
The government proposed shielding cabinet and staff records—including personal cellphone use—from freedom of information laws, drawing criticism over transparency, especially amid a legal battle over Premier Doug Ford’s call records.
Other announcements included allowing shopping on Family Day and Victoria Day, expanding HOV lanes, capping ticket resale prices, and permitting bring-your-own-alcohol at outdoor events.
The government also sought, unsuccessfully, to block a pro-Palestinian rally and praised a homeowner who shot an alleged intruder.
Critics say minor policy changes distract from major issues like healthcare, education funding, and housing affordability.
