Over 150 inmates have been improperly released from Ontario’s jails over the past several years, a problem that Premier Doug Ford called ‘unacceptable’ on Wednesday. Global News has unearthed government documents through freedom-of-information laws, which show that the province mistakenly released 157 inmates between 2021 and 2025. Kristy Cameron chats with John Fraser, the Interim Leader of the Ontario Liberals and an MPP for Ottawa South. On a lighter note, if you’re looking for some movie recommendations this weekend, movie critic Matt Demers has a few in mind! He drops by for his Weekly Movie Picks.
