Wednesday, Marit Stiles, leader of the Ontario NDP, told Ontarians she will end the encampment crisis in Ontario — by forcing them to live like the rest of us. Sounds noble, except it's been tried before and has failed. Stiles fundamentally misunderstands how Ontarians end up in encampments in the first place, as if there's a direct line from losing one's home to living in a tent in a park.

Thanks to President Donald Trump’s tariff menaces, Ontario's three major party leaders (and the Greens too) agree it has never been more important that Canadian provinces eliminate interprovincial trade barriers — the cost of which the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) estimates at some $200 billion annually. We could use $200 billion right now. Read More
