Ontario premier says construction underway on new Toronto subway line


Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the provincial government has begun construction on a new subway project in Toronto that will cut through the heart of the city.

Ford said the 15.6 kilometre Ontario Line, with 14 subway stops, is designed to provide relief from overcrowding on Toronto Transit Commission's Line 1 and is an important part of his government's plan to build roads, bridges, highways and transit.

"For decades, governments of every stripe have been talking about the need for new subways in the GTA. They've been studying it forever. There have been endless reports, endless committees, but finally, we're the government that got it done," Ford said at the site of the future Exhibition station

Here's what you need to know as Ontario moves to lift its mask mandate Monday

Starting Monday, it will largely be up to you whether or not to wear a mask to protect yourself and others against COVID-19 in Ontario.

The province is lifting its mask mandate for most indoor settings, even as experts warn of an increase in infections and hospitalizations in the coming weeks as a result.

That increase should be manageable, the experts say, but how the public responds to the change will matter. And with the province moving to lift all remaining public health measures by the end of April, individuals will have even more of a hand in what the future of COVID-19 in Ontario looks like.
