Ontario to extend WSIB coverage in privately run retirement and group homes
Ontario plans to extend mandatory Workplace Safety and Insurance Board coverage to approximately 29,000 health-care and support workers in privately operated retirement homes and group homes, where such coverage is currently not required. The legislative change would protect nurses, personal support workers, and resident care workers if injured or ill on the job, as part of broader labour rule revisions announced by Labour Minister David Piccini.

Terrebonne byelection could determine federal majority government
A federal byelection in the Quebec riding of Terrebonne is scheduled for Monday, with the outcome potentially determining whether Prime Minister Mark Carney's minority government gains a majority. The race is a close contest between the Liberals and Bloc Québécois, with both parties campaigning heavily on issues like public transit, cost of living, and housing. Simultaneous byelections in two Toronto-area ridings are considered non-competitive, likely securing Liberal wins there.
