Ontario Autism Coalition will be around all week long. Constituency office protests are planned across the province, in response to controversial changes to Ontario's funding model for autism care. The first Ontario PC MPP faced with demonstration helped to set the stage for additional confrontation:

Doug Ford finds an Ontario Place placeholder in Cirque du Soleil. The premier is presumably excited about Cirque shows planned for the fall. Yet his personal preference for summer entertainment is no doubt the Rolling Stones at Burl’s Creek.

SNC-Lavalin scandal drives into a gendered detour. Quotes from anonymous Liberal staffers paint former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould as a personality for whom “Everything is very Jody-centric.” The subtext isn’t lost on one fellow MP:
