The Ontario government is slashing a series of programs that were designed to help save energy in buildings. It's all part of a plan that Premier Doug Ford's government claims would help “businesses improve their bottom line,” says a leaked provincial document.
Doug Ford is dismantling a support service designed to give municipalities more say over city development and empower Ontarians in local decision-making — a move critics are calling another blow to local democracy and a win for developers.
Doug Ford's government has revoked existing funding for the College of Midwives of Ontario, as well as all future funding for the regulatory body that oversees over 900 midwives in the province and has received government support for 25 years.
