Ontario
A topic on our watch list — we track its coverage across 7 domains, including Australia Economy, Batteries Storage and Immigration Labor.
Coverage of Ontario is holding steady : 7 signals on the latest tracked day, level with its three-week baseline of 7, across 7 domains (up from 5 a week ago). That makes it the #319 most-covered of the 348 concerns we track.
Ontario is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 7 signals a day across 7 domains (2 tracked days). A real move would be a day at 9+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 7. That is the move that would push it up the Wire.
