In cities and towns across Ontario — and at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill — our journalists work for you. Their mission is to dig for answers and tell you what they find.
This new feature — ‘Closer Look’ — is a chance to hear directly from those dogged reporters and editors.
Every weeknight, Village Media’s Scott Sexsmith sits down with one of our journalists to explore a compelling story they are covering. These in-depth conversations go beyond the headlines, helping viewers better understand how we gather the details that land in your local news feed.
On tonight’s episode of 'Closer Look': A high-profile fundraising campaign for Doug Ford's son-in-law.
On Monday — the day before Ford asked the lieutenant-governor to dissolve the legislature and kick-start a provincial election — his eldest daughter took to Instagram with a different kind of message.
Krista Ford Haynes has launched a GoFundMe page in the hopes of raising $100,000 for her husband, a Toronto police officer who is facing a disciplinary hearing for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I am coming here tonight to ask for something I never in a million years thought I would ask for… your financial support,” she said in the Instagram video.
