Welcome back to Trillium Talk, your must-see briefing from Village Media’s team of journalists at the Ontario Legislature.
Every Sunday, Scott Sexsmith sits down with one of our staffers at The Trillium to talk about the week that was at Queen's Park — and the week ahead.
On the show today is Editor-in-Chief Jessica Smith Cross, who fills us in on the look of Doug Ford's new cabinet — and what the premier had to say to U.S. President Donald Trump during the swearing-in ceremony.
She also talks about the most "wild" scoop of the week: coyotes chasing police near Ford's Toronto home.
According to records obtained by The Trillium through a freedom-of-information request, cops protecting the premier had at least two run-ins with coyotes a year and a half ago.
“The officers tried several tactics to try and chase the coyotes away with no luck, short of shooting them," one officer wrote in an email. "They appear to have no fear of people.”
