Opinion | BY SHEILA COPPS | June 14, 2021
Ontario Premier Doug Ford, pictured in Ottawa on Nov. 21, 2019. The biggest third-party spenders in federal politics have been supporters of the Conservatives who load up on advertising to fight the Liberals. If Ford’s plan works, the federal Liberals might be encouraged to replicate it. In that instance, the national Tories will lose out. For now, all eyes are on Ontario, writes Sheila Copps.

The basic income amounts delivered in the Ontario pilot clearly are not a silver-bullet solution, but as in other test programs, the results were clear. Instead of having to hock their possessions to stave off eviction or pay an overdue utility bill, families were investing in their children, writes Jim Creskey.

Having hockey fans at games is arguably more valuable than the prime minister or a premier standing on a stage telling us on Date X we can do this because the rules have changed, writes Tim Powers. Screenshot courtesy of Sportsnet

Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault, the government’s point man on the bill, suggested those who opposed Bill C-10, did so not because they were concerned about possible government censorship, but because they were part of, as he put, it a 'deliberate campaign of misinformation' orchestrated by 'web giants.'

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, pictured in the Sir John A. Macdonald Building on March 19.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford, pictured speaking to reporters on the Hill pre-COVID on Nov. 21, 2019. Ford himself has become the lightning rod for many peoples’ COVID-19 anxiety and anger. His opponents are smiling and gleeful, which is sadly predictable and not going to get us through the pandemic, writes Tim Powers. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade
