It has been more than three months since Ontario promised to make municipalities "whole" on a loss of development charge revenue due to a new provincial law, and they say they're concerned they've seen little to no movement.One large city says it is already feeling the impacts of the law financially, another is delaying a housing-related project due to the uncertainty, and municipalities across the province are passing budgets on the assumption they will be made "whole" with a dollar-for-dollar replacement.

Just three years since construction began on the Hurontario light-rail transit line, the provincial transit agency says the 18-kilometre route connecting Mississauga to Brampton will be ready by the end of next year but Mississauga councillors are pushing for it to be expanded further.Renamedthe Hazel McCallion Line last year, the line is set to have 19 stops and offer connections to multiple other transit routes.

Premier Doug Ford's government is preparing to expand gas-fired power plants in Ontario, a move critics say will make the province's electricity system dirtier and could eventually leave taxpayers on the hook.The province is currently soliciting bids for additional gas-fired electricity generation, which means either new gas plants get built or existing gas plants get expanded.

Voters in Toronto's upcoming mayoral byelection should not support anyone who wants to cut police budgets, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Tuesday in the wake of an apparently unprovoked fatal stabbing of a 16-year-old at a city subway station.Ford has previously said he is staying out of the race to replace former mayor John Tory, but addressed it Tuesday when asked about violence in Toronto's transit system.

The Toronto Raptors have placed a ton of energy in making their G League team the pride of the NBA's minor leagues.Names like Ron Harper Jr. and David Johnson have been grinding in Mississauga for most of the season with Raptors 905, with additional NBA players like Christian Koloko and Dalano Banton have also popped down.

What has made the Toronto Raptors' recent nosedive in the standings is the fact that Nick Nurse has the starting lineup playing well following the acquisition of Jakob Poeltl.While that group is dominating, the same can't be said of Toronto's already maligned bench.Gary Trent Jr. has been completely emasculated since going back to the second unit, as his scoring punch has been marginalized.
