Brampton immigration firm’s guilty plea comes as PCs push stricter legislation to deal with fraud

As concerns over Canada’s poorly managed immigration system continue to spread, Brampton-based Gandhi Immigration Limited serves as an example of abuse that has plagued the sector. 

The director of the firm was, according to Ontario’s Attorney General, responsible for wrongdoing that led to a $40,000 fine for wilfully misrepresenting two immigration files by adding fake work experience to the applications of clients hoping to settle in Canada. The PCs have tabled tough new legislation to combat chronic problems in the immigration consulting sector.

Furious Caledon residents push back against mayor's plan to dump construction waste into lakes and other bodies of water

After approving a controversial plan to dump construction fill into Swan Lake, a protected Greenbelt water body, Caledon Council is now pushing a new Site Alteration Bylaw that could make such decisions more common in the future.

Residents and environmental advocates fear the bylaw will open the door to widespread dumping below the water table across rural Caledon, putting groundwater and the Credit River watershed at risk. The legality of the highly controversial move under existing federal environmental law has not yet been tested.

$40M taxpayer incentive for Welland development rejected—council to make final decision Thursday 

In a surprise move, Niagara regional councillors have rejected a $40 million grant request for luxury homes in Welland.

Delay dressed as diligence: a community calls on Huron Shores' council for truth and action

Infrastructure failures have drastic consequences for communities big and small. They require rapid, coordinated action from local elected officials.

Parks & Risks: PC plans for three provincial parks could set ‘dangerous precedent’

Some of Ontario’s favourite camping spots, nestled near habitats home to many endangered and at-risk species, are facing development pressures under plans by the provincial government. The PC move to transfer parts of Wasaga Beach to municipal control for tourism development has raised red flags; the risk of commercialization could forever alter the park’s delicate ecosystem. 

A few hours north, the government's proposal to widen Highway 69 threatens portions of Grundy Lake and French River provincial parks, where even small land removals for development could disrupt fragile habitats and wildlife corridors.

Data released by the City of Niagara Falls has exposed a disturbing trend. As property taxes have increased under the current council led by Mayor Jim Diodati, the number of properties in tax arrears has spiked.

The trend reveals the troubling impact of council decision making disconnected from the needs of residents facing significant affordability pressures. 



Ontario needs strong provincial legislation to hold mayors & municipal councils accountable

Ontario needs strong provincial legislation to hold mayors & municipal councils accountable

With the rapid erosion of accountability in the municipal government sector, sped up by Doug Ford’s determination to hand even more power to mayors, proposed provincial legislation to protect residents from abusive municipal elected officials is needed now more than ever. 

Ontario’s municipal taxpayers also desperately need updated legislation to overhaul woefully inadequate accountability mechanisms meant to keep local elected representatives in check. The current system has created a dire situation for residents whose tax dollars are open to widespread abuse in the province’s municipal government sector.

Canada’s 2025 wildfire season a wake-up call—more populated areas are under threat

Once thought of as a distant danger, wildfires are now igniting in southern Ontario’s backyard, fuelled by record heat, drought and a changing climate. Fire seasons are stretching longer across the country with increasingly volatile conditions and open-fire bans across much of Southern Ontario due to extremely hot, dry conditions.

In Kawartha Lakes, known for its serene cottages, August brought multiple blazes that spread through parched forests. Experts warn that more Ontario communities, like other parts of the country that have been forced to evacuate, will face increased risks in the future.

Welland wants $40M from Niagara taxpayers to incentivize developer planning luxury homes

Following controversy over recent years around taxpayer subsidies to developers, who expect the public to cover a range of costs to maximize their own profits, Welland is now facing a similar demand. And Mayor Frank Campion has gotten behind the request, which could see taxpayers cover a total of $80 million so the builder in question can avoid paying various costs to get its project to market.

Mark Carney’s climate balancing act: clean energy promises & fossil fuel realities

As Canada stands at a critical point between fossil-fuel dependence and a clean energy future, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first few months in office have revealed a balancing act between climate ambition and industry appeasement. From scrapping the federal consumer carbon tax to hinting at new oil pipelines— while touting renewable growth—his policies have sparked debate over whether Canada will help lead the global energy transition or cling to a carbon-based future. 



Seniors, renters without AC most vulnerable during continuous heatwaves

Seniors, renters without AC most vulnerable during continuous heatwaves

As Ontario faces another extreme heat warning once again this weekend, the difference between those who can stay cool and those who can’t is becoming a life-threatening crisis. Seniors and renters, especially in aging buildings across southern Ontario, are trapped without reliable air conditioning as heatwaves grow more intense. A recent UN report warns extreme heat disproportionately harms the elderly and low-income groups worldwide. Yet in Ontario, outdated laws and lack of enforcement leave many vulnerable to dangerous conditions. Advocates argue that access to cooling must be treated as an essential human right, not a luxury.

A group of conservation authorities are turning to nature to protect Lake Ontario’s future

The Lake Ontario shoreline, once protected against erosion by concrete barriers, is now grappling with the intensified impacts of climate change. Rather than relying on more concrete, a groundbreaking initiative is looking to nature for answers.

The Lake Ontario Coastal Resilience Pilot Project, launched by three conservation authorities, is exploring innovative, nature-based solutions to tackle rising waters and shifting landscapes. With a science-driven, collaborative approach, the project unites conservationists, municipalities, and communities to reshape the future of the coastline, offering a sustainable and resilient path forward for both the environment and the people who rely on it.



Battle brewing over police spending in Niagara

Battle brewing over police spending in Niagara

Inconsistencies in provincial grant funding are putting pressure on critical investigative work carried out by the Niagara Police.

At the same time, the police services board is signalling it simply can not meet the demand by regional council to cut back next year’s budget request, which a report from the Chief is equating to “defunding the police”. 



Ontarians are paying more for less as climate change hits insurance rates: advocates are demanding answers

Ontarians are paying more for less as climate change hits insurance rates: advocates are demanding answers

As home insurance premiums soar across Ontario, an advocacy group is raising concerns over the lack of transparency in the insurance industry regarding the financial impacts of climate change. They fear governments are failing to protect homeowners by allowing insurance companies to quietly hike premiums as a result of an increasingly unpredictable climate, without disclosing exactly how they are determining the final numbers handed to customers on their bills.

The concern is that these hidden costs could push premiums beyond what many can afford, all while keeping the public in the dark about the real risks involved.

World’s top court hands environmental activists powerful new tool: what does it mean for the PC government’s pitiful climate change efforts?

World’s top court hands environmental activists powerful new tool: what does it mean for the PC government’s pitiful climate change efforts?

In a groundbreaking decision years in the making, the International Court of Justice has declared that climate inaction isn’t just reckless, it’s illegal. For the first time, the world’s highest court has confirmed that states have binding legal obligations to curb greenhouse gas emissions, including from fossil fuel production, or risk violating international law and facing consequences. The ruling could transform climate lawsuits from long-shot battles to powerful tools for justice.

The decision comes as the Ontario government has unveiled its latest energy plan which is continuing to push the province away from renewable energy, compromising vital emission reduction targets.

It was the only place in Canada where human trafficking survivors could get an array of critical services—on July 2, it burned to the ground

SafeHope Home in Durham Region is one of the few residential programs for human trafficking survivors in the country, and the only one to offer a long-term, wraparound support system. Thankfully, nobody was hurt in the fire, but now the organization must work tirelessly to find a new space and limit the disruption to these women who are trying to rebuild their lives after escaping one of the most heinous forms of exploitation.

The organization is currently fundraising to help support the purchase of a new location.



Big Oil tries to greenwash the world’s dirtiest industry: UN expert wants to criminalize misinformation

Big Oil tries to greenwash the world’s dirtiest industry: UN expert wants to criminalize misinformation

As fossil fuel giants flood screens with misleading net-zero claims, a UN special rapporteur is calling for urgent legal action to ban false advertising, end fossil fuel subsidies and phase out oil, gas and coal by 2030 after the industry’s six-decade campaign of climate denial and delay. 

Canada’s federal government recently made changes to the Competition Act to fight greenwashing but relentless lobbying and resistance from the oil and gas sector have set Ottawa behind as the push to criminalize fossil fuel misinformation takes off elsewhere.

For over a year, sludge has been leaking into the Welland River—officials still don’t know where it’s coming from

The municipal storm sewer south of Chippawa Parkway has intermittently spewed an unknown chemical substance into the Welland River since July of last year.

Despite efforts from City and provincial officials, the origin of the black, oily substance has not been identified. Frustrated residents fear there simply is not enough political will to track down the source—which appears to be somewhere inside the Stanley Business Park. 



After admitting to foreign interference, Patrick Brown remains silent on Indian government involvement in threats to Brampton’s Sikh community

After admitting to foreign interference, Patrick Brown remains silent on Indian government involvement in threats to Brampton’s Sikh community

Patrick Brown is pushing for the Lawrence Bishnoi gang to be added to Canada’s terror watch list. But the Brampton Mayor, who is constantly in the media speaking on issues outside his municipal jurisdiction, has remained silent on a key piece of the narrative surrounding the gang and its implication in Peel’s troubling organized crime landscape. Various sources have publicly stated that the Bishnoi gang is used as a “proxy” by the Indian government to target Sikhs in Canada.

Despite his close connections to India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Brown continues to ignore the connection between Modi’s government and the harassment of Sikhs in Canada.

‘They think they can silence your speech’: Niagara Falls being taken to court over sign ban that led to women’s arrest

The Canadian Constitution Foundation is taking the City of Niagara Falls to court over its doubling down on a controversial “decorum” policy that bans the holding of signs inside the council chambers. The organization, which is launching a new initiative aimed directly at rogue municipalities, says legal precedent and the Constitution protect this type of expression. It criticizes the City’s senior staff for what appears to be a fundamental misunderstanding of the Constitution. 

Women’s rights activists were recently arrested for trying to draw attention to a proposed new provincial law aimed at holding municipal politicians accountable for harassment and assault.

A coalition of nine First Nations is taking Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Prime Minister Mark Carney to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, challenging Bills 5 and C-5 on constitutional grounds. They argue these laws concentrate sweeping powers in the Cabinet, bypass Indigenous consultation and weaken environmental protections on traditional lands, infringing on their rights and sovereignty.

Participating First Nations seek to halt enforcement of the new laws until the courts review their constitutionality.

‘A shocking display of total bias’: Women’s rights group blocked, again; Councillor Mike Strange given platform to defend himself against assault charge

After claiming that an ongoing criminal case against Councillor Mike Strange could not be addressed or even remotely tied to any council conversation—justification for blocking a women’s rights group—Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati gave Strange the floor at Tuesday’s public meeting to do just that. 

While the man charged with intimate partner violence was allowed to use his position and the council chamber to crusade for himself, women seeking to address proposed provincial legislation aimed at tightening accountability of municipal elected officials were again denied the privilege afforded to Strange.

Facing criminal intimate partner assault charge, Councillor Mike Strange asks charity group to drown out women’s rights advocates at council meeting

In a message to the Falls View Hose Brigade, Niagara Falls Councillor Mike Strange asked the group’s members to fill council chambers “so there is no space for the women’s group to sit” at Tuesday’s council meeting, in exchange for free drinks after. 

He wants to drown out The Women of Ontario Say No after the mayor and City officials denied the group an opportunity to address the lack of accountability over municipal elected officials accused of assault. Strange was charged with intimate partner violence in May after police responded to a domestic incident and found a woman who was injured at the scene. He told the Hose Brigade that he plans to defend himself Tuesday and asked the group’s members to clap for him.

Public debate over Bill 9, the Municipal Accountability Act, happens in Niagara amid local controversy

After Niagara Falls residents were twice denied an opportunity to address a proposed new provincial law, they will get their chance at a public meeting Friday. A women’s rights group was shut down when attempting to delegate on Bill 9, which aims to create tighter accountability rules for municipal council members, including those who are charged with assault. 

Local officials claim that because Councillor Mike Strange is currently facing an intimate partner violence assault charge, the new rules being considered by Queen’s Park can not be addressed inside council chambers. Three women who wanted to voice their views were arrested after Mayor Jim Diodati refused to let them express themselves.

Ontario ‘unleashes’ climate catastrophe as scientists warn Paris Agreement ‘no longer attainable’

The province faces intensifying climate extremes—from record-breaking heat waves and devastating wildfires to unprecedented flooding—but the provincial government’s latest budget paints a troubling picture. 

Despite increasingly grim warnings and growing public demand for environmental protection, funding for emergency preparedness and conservation is being slashed, while billions are poured into highway expansions for more sprawl and worsening emissions. The PC government has yet to articulate a clear vision for Ontario’s future.

Across Canada, politicians are forcing laws in the ‘national interest’ and dismantling our democracy along the way

Across Canada, politicians are forcing laws in the ‘national interest’ and dismantling our democracy along the way

You wouldn’t know Canada is burning, if listening to our politicians.

Three sweeping bills, rushed through legislatures in Ontario, British Columbia and Ottawa, are dismantling decades of environmental oversight in the name of “nation-building”. Critics warn this fast-tracking frenzy is an egregious abuse of Indigenous rights and territorial sovereignty. It could also seal the fate of future generations who will suffer the consequences of unthinkable ecological and environmental degradation. 

These harms, they point out, are being carried out by so-called leaders who want to redefine the limits of democracy, so special interests don’t have to worry about the legal tools and political will that should help us fight the climate crisis.

Do special economic zones really work? Economists break down Doug Ford’s controversial Bill 5

In a swift move framed as a response to an “economic war” with the U.S., Ontario’s government fast-tracked Bill 5, giving Doug Ford’s cabinet sweeping powers to create Special Economic Zones (SEZs)—a scheme planned long before trade tensions emerged. Critics warn this risky strategy sidelines Indigenous voices, weakens environmental protections, and echoes failed SEZ experiments worldwide. Many economists are also skeptical.

Women seeking increased accountability of local elected officials arrested at Niagara Falls city council meeting

On Tuesday, Niagara police were called to council chambers by City staff after mayor Jim Diodati refused to let a council meeting continue. The issue? A small group of women were holding signs that read: “The Women of Ontario Say No”. They were removed and arrested. 

They had gathered in support of stronger Ontario laws to hold local elected officials accountable when they are charged with assault. Niagara Falls Councillor Mike Strange is currently facing an assault charge in an alleged intimate partner violence case. 



Doug Ford made it legal to create bird 'death traps' to speed up home construction

Doug Ford made it legal to create bird 'death traps' to speed up home construction

As wildlife populations crash globally, Ontario’s new Bill 17 legalizes what conservationists call ‘bird death traps’ by stripping away vital bird-friendly building protections. Marketed as a way to speed up residential development, the law removes municipal authority to enforce standards that save millions of migratory birds each year from deadly window collisions.

Advocates warn these changes prioritize developer profits over nature, undoing decades of progress and threatening Ontario’s climate goals.

Following assault charges against Councillor Mike Strange, an advocate for enhanced municipal accountability has been denied a chance to address Niagara Falls council about the need for increased accountability measures for local elected officials charged with assault. 

“It de facto prioritized the comfort of the person charged with physical assault over the democratic right to address an important legislative issue. This is wrong,” she said.

Carney’s G7 invitation to Modi draws outrage from Sikhs after evidence of India’s role in assassination of Canadian in BC

Critics are concerned that Prime Minister Mark Carney is stepping back from the foreign policy of his predecessor—Justin Trudeau drew a clear line which he said was crossed by the BJP government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who Carney invited to the G7 Summit in Alberta this coming week, despite backlash from Sikh Canadians calling it a “betrayal of Canadian values”.
