Today, they are feeling a mixture of relief and frustration with the Doug Ford government, as the province tabled a last-minute government bill this week. Does the Municipal Accountability Act cut the mustard, or has it become far too politicized to yield positive results? CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent digs deeper with Harini Sivalingam, the Director of the Equality Program at the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. Plus, we dissect the latest Science and Tech headlines with Dr. Rob Thacker.
