A vote for change, a vote for the status quo | #onpoli

The municipal elections for 2026 have come and gone; Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath sort through the highs and lows of an historic evening. They also examine why some municipalities kept to the status quo while others removed their incumbents with extreme prejudice. MPPs have returned to Queen's Park and the government has released its Fall Economic Statement. Steve and John Michael take a look at the legislative calendar and the state of the province's books.
