In case you were wondering, we'll be paying for weapons with revenue from extractive industries. And don't be shocked if those critical minerals get used to make weapons. I'm sure climate change and Indigenous rights are somewhere down the list of priorities.

Bill 5 is a wide-reaching attack on Indigenous rights, environmental protections, labour laws and democratic oversight. Because they've jammed so many problematic elements into one bill I sat down to give you a guide to what Bill 5 will really mean for Ontario.

It's not a foregone conclusion. As I've said, the Cons have a committed base. The Libs have gained their support largely from the NDP and Bloc and that support is not committed. The Libs need to appeal to progressive voters and convince them that promises will be kept this time.
