Premier Kathleen Wynne's cabinet ministers used the terms "fake news" and "alternative facts" this week, so you know we're gonna have to talk about it on the podcast. We also discuss the all-party support of Ontario's own anti-Islamophobia motion, as well as Queen's Park deciding to end the practice of winter hydro disconnections.
