In the countdown to President-elect Trump’s inauguration, tariff talks have dominated media headlines as political leaders in Ontario and beyond make the case for Team Canada. Here’s what’s new in Ontario politics this week. 

By proroguing parliament, Prime Minister Trudeau has plunged our nation into to a state of leaderless paralysis. Now more than ever we need real leaders to step up to the plate and guide us through these unprecedented times. Read Jaime's column in the Toronto Star below:

Justin Trudeau is stepping down as Liberal leader and Prime Minister but will remain in both roles until his successor is chosen. He also received approval from Governor General Mary Simon to prorogue Parliament until March 24, two months after the House was supposed to return. What happens next?

The events of the day should not distract us from the task at hand. The fact remains that we need an all of Canada approach to address the Trump presidency, and now is not the time to take our eyes off the ball. Listen below to a clip from my conversation with David Common on CBC's Metro Morning.

2025 has dealt blow after blow to progressives on both sides of the border. To get back on track, progressive parties must recognize the legitimacy of much of the rage against them and address the deeper issues driving it. Read Jaime Watt's latest column in The Toronto Star on a path to survival.

Si le gouvernement avait un message à transmettre avec l’Énoncé économique de l’automne d’aujourd’hui, celui-ci a été réduit à néant lorsque Chrystia Freeland a démissionné en dénonçant des divergences avec le Premier ministre sur les priorités fiscales. Nous nous retrouvons désormais avec une ÉÉA inédite, préparée dans l'ombre, sans ministre des Finances pour défendre la vision du gouvernement – ou l'absence de celle-ci – face à un déficit de 61,9 milliards de dollars et à la menace d'une guerre commerciale avec notre principal partenaire économique. Vous trouverez ci-dessous notre analyse du budget.

If the government had a story to tell with today’s Fall Economic Statement, it went up in flames as Chrystia Freeland delivered a scathing resignation citing disagreements with the Prime Minister over fiscal priorities. What we are left with is a rare “backroom” FES, with no Finance Minister to communicate the government’s vision – or lack thereof – in the face of a $61.9 billion deficit and the threat of a trade war with our largest trading partner. Read our analysis of the federal government's fall economic statement below.

It’s time for our government in waiting to learn all they can and prepare to handle a Trump Presidency. If they want to do it right, Jaime Watt's latest column in the Toronto Star includes three places they should start.
