MPPs are on Christmas break, but this story isn’t going away anytime soon

The Trillium maintains pressure on the Ford government with daily podcasts and crowdfunding amid ongoing Ontario Provincial Police investigation into the $2.5-billion Skills Development Fund.

  • With the Ontario Legislature adjourned until March 23, The Trillium says its work will not slow and 'never really stops' as it continues reporting via the Closer Look podcast and website.
  • Throughout the fall sitting, the Ford government's Skills Development Fund dominated Queen's Park coverage, and the newsroom launched a crowdfunding campaign to finance costly freedom-of-information requests.
  • One immediate development is that one company at the centre of the controversy is under Ontario Provincial Police investigation, while Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith host the Closer Look podcast produced by Derek Turner, joined by Charlie Pinkerton, reporter at The Trillium.
  • Fresh episodes drop Monday to Friday at 7 p.m., and readers can sign up for a free nightly newsletter to get Closer Look in their inbox.
  • The Trillium also invites audience engagement via closerlook@villagemedia.ca and social platforms YouTube, X, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok to follow ongoing Skills Development Fund coverage.
