  1. Balita para sa mga matatanda: Ontario maglalabas ng karagdagang $1.1 bilyon para sa home care ngunit malabong maabot ang target na 58,000 long-term care beds pagsapit ng 2028. Sinabi ni Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy na kabuuang halos $6 bilyon ang ilalagay para sa home care sa mga susunod na taon para mag-hire ng nurses at PSW; hanggang Pebrero, mga 26,000 kama lang ang bukas/o under construction/approved.

  2. Bahay: bumababa ang mga projection — ang pangakong 1.5 milyong bahay ay malayong maabot matapos bumaba ang forecast para 2025–2028 mula 315,000 hanggang 276,900. Para sa 2026 inaasahan 64,800 starts; may pansamantalang HST waiver sa mga bagong bahay sa loob ng isang taon na tinatayang magastos ng $1.4 bilyon.

  3. Kita mula sa alak bumababa: modernisasyon ng LCBO kasama ang $200 milyon para bawasan markup at buwis, kaya revenue ng LCBO para 2025–26 inaasahang $1.7 bilyon (mas mababa kaysa $2.4 bilyon isang dekada na ang nakalipas). Kita mula sa buwis ng beer/wine/spirits bababa sa $262 milyon susunod na taon kumpara sa $593 milyon noong 2023–24.

  4. Lupa sa tabi ng Rogers Centre: binabago ng gobyerno ang SkyDome Act para sa 305 Bremner Blvd para alisin ang ilang development restrictions, pero hindi pa malinaw kung ibebenta ba o ide-develop ang lupang pag-aari ng probinsiya.

  5. Cherry blossoms sa High Park: kaunti pang paghihintay — nasa "brown bud" stage pa ang puno ngayong Marso at kadalasang peak ay huling bahagi ng Abril o unang bahagi ng Mayo; peak = ~70% bloom at tumatagal ng 4–10 araw depende sa panahon. Parke gawing vehicle-free sa peak at pinapayuhan ang mga bisita na irespeto ang mga puno at wildlife.

  6. Hatol sa kaso ng pagdukot: si Samir Abdelgadir, 45, nahatulan ng 11.5 taong kulong dahil sa pagdukot sa 14-anyos noong Marso 4, 2020; matapos ibawas ang credit para sa time served, mga 9.5 taong natitira. Hiwalay ang biktima sa korte at hukom Sandra Nishikawa tinawag ang pangyayari na isang planadong kriminal na gawain na may koneksyon sa droga (90 kg cocaine).

  7. Pulisya hinahabol ang suspek sa pagpatay: 27-anyos na si Ahmed Hassan Asif natagpuang patay sa Gamble Ave/Donlands Ave bandang 9:35 PM noong Miyerkules; isang puting sasakyan na pinaghihinalaang sangkot ay nasamsam. Det. Sgt. Sajeev Nair sinabi, "We are coming for you" — ito ang ika-5 homicide ng Toronto sa 2026.

  8. OPP naghahanap ng suspek sa identity fraud: iniulat ang pag-abuso sa personal na impormasyon noong Nov 27, 2025; sinasabing ginamit ang pekeng ID para magbukas ng credit card sa New Tecumseth at bumili ng luxury car sa Surrey, B.C. noong Dec 1, 2025. Polisiya ng Nottawasaga humihiling ng tulong mula sa publiko.

  9. World Cup playoff: Italy vs Northern Ireland isa sa highlight; ang mananalo ng landas nila ay maglalaro laban sa Canada sa Toronto Stadium sa Hunyo 12. May 16 koponan na naglalaban para sa 4 puwesto, nakaayos sa Paths A–D.

  10. Rangers out ng playoff: ang New York Rangers (28–35–9) opisyal nang eliminated matapos matalo 4–3 sa Toronto; captain J.T. Miller at scorer Mika Zibanejad (32 goals) at coach Mike Sullivan hinarap ang pagkabigo at mga tanong sa pagkakaayos ng roster.

  11. Ontario budget: mas malaki ang deficit at naantalang plano ng balance— deficit $13.8 bilyon para 2026–27, inaasahang $6.1 bilyon deficit 2027–28 at $600 milyon surplus 2028–29. Kabuuang paggasta $244.2 bilyon; health $101.2 bilyon; maliit na negosyo tax rate bababa mula 3.2% tungo 2.2% (tatlong taon, ~ $1.1 bilyon halaga) at may $3 bilyon contingency reserve.
