Shortly after voting down an attempt by the Ontario Liberals to ban online gambling commercials, the Ford government says it is seriously considering how to handle an explosion in betting ads.

The Ford government is giving itself the power to set the priorities of individual police services boards across the province, but is adamant the move won't allow it to direct law enforcement.

As part of its spring omnibus justice legislation, the government is creating policies that would let the solicitor general set expectations for areas police boards should focus on.

The Stop Harmful Gambling Advertising Act, introduced by opposition MPPs in April, was defeated by the government in mid-May on second reading.

Marine police in Toronto are still scouring Lake Ontario for signs of a second person, the day after a small inflatable boat capsized near Cherry Beach.

A 14-year-old girl who has been missing for almost two weeks has been found safe, Toronto police say, ending a massive region-wide search.

An Ontario NDP MPP says it is “shameful” that the Ford government failed to support a now-defeated opposition bid to improve the tracking of sexual assault cases in court.

Two Ontario Liberal MPPs are drawing a line in the sand, insisting that the next leader of the third-place party needs to have a seat in the provincial legislature in order to effectively hold the Ford government to account.

The search for the body of a man who is believed to have drowned in Lake Ontario after his inflatable boat sank near Cherry Beach has entered its third day.

Police say their investigation into the almost two-week disappearance of a 14-year-old girl is ongoing, but that no charges have been laid since she was found.
