The 90-day reprieve on Donald Trump's global tariffs do not extend to Canada, so Ontario is offering tax breaks for businesses. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath discuss why these temporary measures might need to be followed by long term solutions.

There will be a 2-year feasibility study into Doug Ford's plan for a tunnel underneath the 401. Steve and JMM discuss the project's inevitable high price tag and other ways the province could ease congestion.

The province is expanding strong mayor powers to 169 more municipalities in Ontario. These powers had already been given to mayors in larger cities to cut through red tape and get housing built, but is that happening?
