POLICORNER is a newsletter on the politics, policies and personalities driving the week at Queen’s Park.
Read and trusted by a growing community of the province’s top political players — lawmakers and party leaders to senior staffers, strategists, lobbyists and public servants, it’s an essential, deeply reported read, decoding the policies and politicking that underpin the political scene in the trillium province, with original, comprehensive coverage of the top stories.
We don’t take a side. We want you to better understand how all the big players think and why they act the way they do. We tell you about the strategy, power dynamics and the political climate within.

Expect the newsletter every Monday around noon. It's loaded with sharp coverage of the week that was and the week ahead.
You'll get a weekly dose of hot scoops, the top headlines in provincial politics and intel on what's coming up on the floor of the chamber and at committee. You'll meet the people in power — and those angling for their ear — through spicy Q+As and feature biogs. We've got municipalities covered — and the impact of Wellington Street on these local creatures. You'll receive a roundup of new polling, fundraising, lobbying blitzes and regulatory proposals.
It will also include nerdy policy explainers and the précis of key legislation. Campaign drama. Data for the number wonks. Personnel moves in and around the bubble. And fresh basement gossip with insider insight and analysis into the palace milieu.
Subscribers get each issue directly in their inbox, complete access to the archive, special dispatches and early access to our editorial events with some of Ontario politics' most influential.
