Should governments subsidize Ontario's auto sector? | #onpoli
Newly released TTC documents suggest that Metrolinx is not immune to long delays and cost overruns in building new Toronto transit. The province had taken over planning, saying the city was taking too long to build essential infrastructure. So, why the delays? And what happens now? Hosts Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath break down the findings and explain how confidential documents will still find the light of day, despite recent changes to freedom of information legislation. Then JMM breaks down how the city of Stratford has launched a Charter challenge to the provincial government's so-called strong mayor powers. Does Stratford have a case? And, with Honda announcing that it's bailing on a $15-billion investment for Alliston, the local MP Adam Chambers joins the show to discuss the advisability of continuing public support for the auto sector. In Your Column, My Column, the hosts discuss whether the latest national electricity white paper has any bearing on a provincial file and what, if anything, we can expect to hear about the fallout from the Liberal nomination race in Scarborough Southwest. 00:00 Intro 1:00 Friday banter and physics joke 1:35 Ontario premier history and book plug 3:52 Ontario takes over subway planning 4:18 Subway delays and 2030s timeline 7:19 Yonge North extension and Ontario Line dependency 9:32 Strong mayor powers and Stratford challenge 10:42 Charter arguments and legal outlook 14:51 Honda pulls EV investment, policy debate 16:49 Interview with MP Adam Chambers 33:06 Future of subsidies and Canada US auto ties 38:17 Unanimous bill and CRA transparency 39:56 Columns: national electricity policy debate 43:17 Scarborough nomination appeal update 46:16 Mailbag: TDSB cuts and funding pressures Subscribe to TVO Today to watch more content like this: / @tvotoday Check out the rest of the TVO ecosystem TVO Docs - / @tvo TVO Kids - / @tvokids TVO Learn - / @tvolearn Download the TVO Today App Apple - https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/tvo-tod...
