The first-ever province-wide LCBO strike occurred in response to government plans to expand alcohol privatization.
The Ford government announced that beginning fall 2026, provincial OSAP grants will be capped at 25% of aid — down from up to 85% — with the remaining 75% issued as repayable loans. Students at private career colleges lose grant eligibility entirely. Combined with lifting a seven-year tuition freeze (allowing 2% annual increases), the changes dramatically increase student debt burdens. A student who previously received $8,500 in grants on $10,000 of aid will now receive just $2,500 in grants and $7,500 in loans.
In January 2026, the Ford government proposed a two-year pause on inclusionary zoning rules in Toronto, Mississauga, and Kitchener — the regulations that require developers to include affordable housing units in new buildings near major transit stations. Mayors Olivia Chow and Carolyn Parrish condemned the move as a developer handout that removes the public benefit of building expensive transit lines.

Ontario's Court of Appeal cleared the province to proceed with removing 19 kilometres of Toronto bike lanes. On Sept. 1, 2026, the government issued an RFP for engineering design work to restore vehicle lanes on Bloor, Yonge, University, Queen's Park, and Avenue Road, and on Oct. 8 said removal on Bloor Street West would begin Oct. 13. Toronto says it spent $27M installing the lanes and estimates removal at $48M. A province-commissioned CIMA+ analysis projected that collisions involving all road users could rise by up to 54%.
