Civic Searchlight just got more useful. We've added the ability to watch council videos in the tool so that you can see and search the transcript while watching the video, to make sure you don't miss a beat.

Let us know how it works for you! civicsearchlight.nationalobserver.com

Poilievre has responded. In a post on X, Poilievre said Ma "was elected as a Conservative by the constituents of Markham-Unionville to fight against Liberal inflationary spending driving up the cost of living in his community. Today, he chose to endorse the very policies he was elected to oppose."

Sea otters have made an astonishing comeback from the brink of extinction, reaching populations so dense that they're now ploughing through shellfish.

We've extended our spring campaign until May 30th — still $18K short of our goal.

Without hitting this target, we risk scaling back our Climate Solutions Reporting Project. Your support keeps this essential journalism going. Help us close the gap.

CNO's @matinsarfraz.bsky.social has been reporting from Toronto-St.Paul's where CTV just projected the Liberal's Leslie Church as the winner. Toronto-St.Paul's was a key battleground this election after the Liberal stronghold flipped Conservative in the June 2024 by-election. #Elections2025
