The Ford government tabled its fall economic statement this week, warning of tough financial times ahead.

The province announced it is planning to run $36 billion in deficits over the next three years, as Ontario braces for the long-term impact of the trade war with the United States. The government has set aside a contingency fund of nearly $4 billion in this year’s budget to deal with any surprises from south of the border.

Global’s Colin D’Mello speaks with Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy to find out how the province plans to use that money.

Plus, the Ontario Paranormal Society joins the team at Focus Ontario for a special Halloween-themed report investigating the rumoured hauntings at Queen’s Park.
