Focus Ontario: Labour Battles & Liberal Leadership Race
Description
February 15, 2020
On this week's Focus Ontario, the stage is set for the largest escalation yet in the labour battle between teacher unions and the Ford government. Queen's Park looking to expand opportunities for the legal sale of cannabis in this province but there are big hurdles -- we'll explain. The Ontario Liberal Leadership Convention is quickly approaching -- we're looking at what it means for the party. And, remembering Christie Blatchford -- a giant in Canadian journalism gone too soon.
