Hello there, interested public! Major stories this week include Senator Warren’s proposal for student debt forgiveness, continuing fallout from Premier Doug Ford’s announced 30 percent cut to Ontario Legal Aid, and pushback from various law enforcement groups against efforts by progressive prosecutors (and, in the case of immigration, judges). I’d say more, but time is short for me this week. As always, sources for these stories and more can be found below.

See you around,
