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 Charlie Pinkerton, part of The Trillium team recently nominated for a CJF Jackman Award for Excellence in Journalism for their in-depth reporting on the influence of land developers in Ontario politics.

Speaking of land developers, Pinkerton lays out the latest annual financial statement from PC Party, which shows that over $600,000 was paid to law firms that represented many of the Greenbelt scandal's key figures.

He also explains how the Ford government's plan to speed up the sale of more booze in grocery and corner stores could end up costing a lot more than originally expected.
