Perhaps the biggest driver of Windsor's breaking news headlines is its ever-changing political environment. Everything from city council meetings and  budget approvals to infrastructure projects routinely makes waves, influencing Windsor's growth and development. With the discussions around transit expansions, environmental initiatives, and housing policies what they are, city-wide conversations about lasting effects ensued, giving way to positives and negatives.
