flag Ontario’s government faces backlash for shielding cabinet records from transparency laws while advancing minor policy changes.

flag Ontario’s legislature resumed after a 14-week break, kicking off a condensed spring session leading to the March 26 budget. flag 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. flag 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. flag The government also sought, unsuccessfully, to block a pro-Palestinian rally and praised a homeowner who shot an alleged intruder. flag Critics say minor policy changes distract from major issues like healthcare, education funding, and housing affordability.
