👉Ontario Premier Doug Ford is headed to Washington on Monday for high-level meetings with officials in the Biden administration and business leaders, according to a senior source with the province. The trip is being described as a trade mission aimed at attracting more skilled workers to Ontario, while also highlighting the harm caused by U.S. protectionist policies. It will be the premier's first visit to the U.S. since protest blockades over pandemic mandates shut down the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ont., disrupting the vital trade corridor for several days and costing millions of dollars. According to the source, "Premier Ford will also reaffirm that Ontario is a safe and reliable jurisdiction for investment and business."✅ . . #DougFord #malayalisnearme #washington #USprotecionist #dailynews #dailynewscanada #premierford

👉Ontario Premier Doug Ford has asked the Ministry of Transportation to explore increasing speed limits to 110 km/h on certain 400-series highways, where it's deemed safe. This move aims to reduce travel times and alleviate gridlock. Ford highlighted that many drivers already exceed posted limits when possible. The idea follows speed limit increases in 2022 and 2023 after a successful 2019 pilot project. Transport Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria said feedback from the pilot was positive, and the government plans to expand higher limits to additional highway sections.✅ .

👉The Ontario government is considering legislation that would prohibit creating bike lanes if it involves removing motor vehicle lanes, sources reveal. CBC News obtained internal documents showing this proposal is under review, though it's unclear if it has been formally presented to the cabinet. Addressing traffic congestion in Toronto and surrounding areas is a key political issue. Premier Doug Ford has hinted at forthcoming legislation to tackle gridlock, while Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria acknowledged reviewing multiple proposals to improve commuting. One option being explored is 24/7 construction on priority projects like Highway 413 to accelerate completion.✅ . 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐊𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐥, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐆𝐓𝐀 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐨𝐫.

👉Ontario Premier Doug Ford expressed confidence in the ability of convenience stores near schools to responsibly sell alcohol as the province expands alcohol sales to over 4,000 stores on September 5. This comes despite concerns from the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF) about increased student access to alcohol. Ford compared the situation to the sale of tobacco and lottery tickets, emphasizing that stores have managed those responsibly. He also defended the move by contrasting it with the closure of supervised consumption sites near schools, stating that convenience stores don't present the same risks as those sites.✅ .

👉Next week, over 4,000 Ontario convenience stores will begin selling alcohol as new liberalized regulations take effect. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario has approved 4,146 licenses, fulfilling Premier Doug Ford's 2018 election promise. Ford initially announced that all convenience and grocery stores would sell beer, wine, cider, and ready-to-drink cocktails by 2026, but accelerated the timeline in May. The province paid The Beer Store $225 million to break a 10-year agreement with the company. Recently, a Toronto store was temporarily shut down for selling alcohol before the official September 5 start date.✅ . 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐣 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚, 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝-𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨.

👉Ontario Premier Doug Ford's initiative to expand alcohol sales has seen limited interest from grocery stores. While 3,068 convenience stores have obtained licences to sell alcohol, only 37 out of approximately 2,000 eligible grocery stores have applied. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario reports that grocery stores are deterred by the requirement to accept empty beer cans and wine bottles. In contrast, convenience stores are not subject to this obligation. Gary Sands, senior VP of the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers, noted that many grocers are reluctant to apply due to concerns over costs, space, and hygiene related to recycling returns.✅ .

👉Ontario Premier Doug Ford's unexpected directive to the LCBO to reinstate paper bags left the liquor agency's senior executives scrambling for a new supply. The order, sent via email to CEO George Soleas on a Sunday night in April, came seven months after the LCBO had discontinued paper bags at its 660 stores. Soleas, surprised by the directive, immediately informed his senior management team and communicated his astonishment to the province's deputy finance minister and the LCBO board. The LCBO had initially eliminated paper bags to save 135 million bags annually and reduce waste by over 2,600 tonnes.✅ .

👉Ontario Premier Doug Ford has implemented significant changes to his cabinet following a Thursday afternoon meeting at Queen’s Park. Stephen Lecce has been reassigned from his role as education minister to become the minister of energy and electrification. Todd Smith, formerly the minister of energy, will now lead the education ministry. Key ministers remaining in their positions include Sylvia Jones as health minister, Peter Bethlenfalvy as finance minister, and Paul Calandra overseeing municipal affairs and housing. Steve Clark, who resigned during the Greenbelt scandal, has been appointed the government’s house leader. New cabinet members include Natalia Kusendova-Bashta in long-term care and Mike Harris in red tape reduction. Ford's Economic Focus: Ford emphasized that the reshuffle aims to drive economic growth. "This is the team that is working side-by-side with workers, businesses, labor partners, Indigenous leaders, and every member of Team Ontario to rebuild our economy," Ford stated. "We’re choosing growth and prosperity, lower taxes, and better jobs with bigger paycheques. Let’s Get it Done!"✅ . 𝐓𝐨𝐲𝐨𝐭𝐚 & 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐯𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞!

👉Ontario will begin selling beer, wine, and ready-made cocktails in corner stores, gas stations, and more supermarkets starting September 4, 16 months ahead of schedule. The province will pay up to $225 million to The Beer Store as part of this accelerated plan. License applications open June 17 via the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. From August 1, 450 grocery stores already licensed for beer and wine can sell cocktails, with all supermarkets able to sell various alcoholic beverages by October 31.

👉Ontario is fast-tracking beer, wine, and cocktail sales to corner stores and supermarkets, 16 months earlier than planned, with a $225 million payment to The Beer Store. Starting Sept. 4, retailers can sell low-alcohol beverages, with license applications opening June 17. Supermarkets with existing permits can offer cocktails by Aug. 1, while others can sell beer, wine, cider, and spirits by Oct. 31. Premier Doug Ford and Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy announced the changes.

👉Ontario's nursing shortage has escalated dramatically, with a report revealing the deficit has more than doubled from 6,000 in 2022 to 13,200 by the end of 2023. Projections indicate the shortage will reach 20,700 by 2027 and 33,200 by 2032. Premier Doug Ford has urged the College of Nurses of Ontario to expedite the recognition of internationally-trained nurses' credentials to address the crisis. The Job Bank forecasts 155,400 new nursing job openings by 2031, but only 143,700 new job seekers, highlighting a growing gap despite increased international recruitment efforts.✅ .

👉Ontario Premier Doug Ford aims to build 1.5 million new homes by 2031, but a planned ban on Notices of Security Interest (NOSIs) may inadvertently drive up new home prices. NOSIs, a financing tool used in one in 14 households, allow builders to lease equipment like furnaces or solar panels. The ban could increase home prices and negatively impact homeowners' finances, as well as their credit scores. While the government seeks to address misuse of NOSIs, an outright ban might be counterproductive. Industry players propose alternatives such as better enforcement, fair buyout rates, and improved industry standards.✅ .
