Previously, when a severe storm warning was issued, alerts could be sent across an entire area, even if the storm was not expected to affect all of it.

This means mobile alerts will be sent only to people located within the st

Ontario Liberal leadership race opens with debate over Ford record and need for legislature seat

Ontario Liberal leadership candidates, including former federal minister Navdeep Bains, took part in their first debate Monday night, with the five contenders criticizing Premier Doug Ford’s government on the economy, health care, education and affordability.
