Nursing shortage threatens Ontario long term care care targets
A briefing to Long-Term Care Minister Stan Cho warns Ontario faces a systemic nurse and PSW shortage that could derail the 2025 target of four hours of daily direct care per resident. With 13 200 more nurses and 37 700 PSWs needed, growth in beds and promised direct care time risk worsening shortages across sectors.

Ontario and Ottawa strike deal on Highway 413 plan
Ontario and the federal government sign a memorandum of understanding creating a joint working group to limit environmental impacts of the 52 kilometre Highway 413 linking York Peel and Halton. The agreement follows court orders to set aside federal review designation and aims to respect species protections while pushing shovel-ready projects to ease gridlock. The Green Party and critics call for halting the project amid concerns over farmland and the Greenbelt.
