The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) plans to install platform screen doors at 74 metro stations in Toronto, a project estimated to cost $4.1 billion. This safety measure has been under consideration for over a decade, especially following incidents of people falling onto the tracks. Although not yet funded, the TTC proposes a $44 million pilot project at the TMU station, due to its high traffic and frequent service interruptions caused by people on the tracks. The installation aims to enhance safety, reduce delays, and improve public perception, with potential work beginning in 2026 if funding is secured.

ArcelorMittal is closing its steel plant in Hamilton, Ontario, to focus its operations in Montreal. The decision affects 153 employees, though it is unclear if they will be laid off or given positions in Montreal. A joint committee has been established to explore future options, and the closure is attributed to the company's efforts to enhance competitiveness and long-term profitability. There are additional concerns about the impact of U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel as a factor in this decision.

The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) reported a 4% decline in average house and condominium prices in the Greater Toronto Area in May compared to the previous year, making the market more affordable. This decrease is attributed to fewer transactions and more properties being listed, enhancing buyers' bargaining power. Confidence issues related to the ongoing US-Canada trade war also contributed to the restrained market activity. A total of about 6,200 properties were sold, down 13.3% from the previous year, while new property listings increased by 14%.

The preconstruction condo market in Ontario, particularly in Toronto and Hamilton, faces significant challenges as unsold units remain high. Buyers are deterred by steep construction costs, government taxes, and risks such as possible fraud and legal complications. Some industry experts believe that future economic stabilization may revive interest, but others remain skeptical given the high prices and the potential for construction issues. Additionally, recent fraud cases have highlighted regulatory deficiencies in the industry.

There is ongoing opposition to a nuclear waste burial project at Chalk River, led by Indigenous leaders and elected officials. The Kebaowek community has been opposing this project for nearly a decade due to environmental and rights concerns. The Canadian Nuclear Laboratories argue that their project poses no contamination risk, but a Federal Court has acknowledged the lack of proper consultation with the Indigenous communities. Various advocacy groups and municipalities are also voicing their opposition to this project being built close to the Ottawa River.

The United Nations is backing Indigenous groups opposing the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline project, challenging its safety and environmental risks. The pipeline, which is over 70 years old, runs under the Straits of Mackinac and is seen as a threat to the Great Lakes and Indigenous rights. Enbridge plans to encase the pipeline in a protective tunnel, but this approach has never been tested before and faces legal opposition. Indigenous leaders and environmental groups are calling for the pipeline's closure, citing international and legal obligations to Indigenous peoples.

An indigenous company, Supercom Industries, founded by five Ojibwa communities in Ontario, has developed a simple yet effective solution to prevent train derailments in wetlands through the use of a spring drain device. This innovation, which acts like a decompression valve for water under railway tracks, has won industry accolades and presents environmental benefits by requiring smaller excavations. The spring drain is especially conducive to working in wetland areas, crucial for regions like Northern Ontario facing increased mining activities. Supercom aims to leverage this technology for major projects such as the 'Ring of Fire'.
