Just when I thought my furniture building days were over, my daughter rents her first apartment. Best wishes to everyone getting ready for new beginnings and next steps.

I agree with advocates that we can’t look away & we must act to protect vulnerable children. I’m so frustrated and angry that Ford fired Ontario’s Child Advocate. Children deserve an independent advocate to amplify their voices, needs and concerns. #onpoli thestar.com/news/gta/we-ne…

It's surprising to exactly no one that the privatization of our healthcare has led to unequal healthcare outcomes. If private healthcare is already leading to this level of inequality what will our healthcare look like in another 5 or 10 years? Privatizing our healthcare is a

The fight for farmland continues in Wilmot Township. When Ford takes farmland, he takes food and threatens our $50B farming economy. Ontario Greens will stand with farmers and communities members working so hard to protect the land that feeds us. #onpoli #FightForFarmland

When you take the farms, you take the food. That is what Ford is doing with his attack on farmland in Wilmot. Farmers in Wilmot are fighting to protect the land they've been growing and harvesting on for generations. Green Party of Ontario will continue fighting with them every step of

The Ford government continues to keep Ontario hooked on fossil gas even though it's more expensive, has worse health impacts, and makes our electrical grid dirtier. There's no justification to be investing in fossil gas over renewables in 2024. #onpoli

I'm thrilled that Lori has been nominated as the Green Party of Ontario candidate in the Bay of Quinte by-election. Lori has always fought for a fairer, more environmentally responsible Ontario. She's committed to fighting for better for everyday Ontarians, and I can't wait to work

So Ford will protect farmland from solar panels but not from highway 413, urban sprawl, or expropriation for unspecified purposes. This government is responsible for Ontario losing 319 acres of farmland a day. We need to protect prime farmland—period. A good place to start is

It's time to get trucks off the 401 and on to the 407. There's no reason to waste $10 billion and 10 years on another highway when paying truckers tolls for the 407 would solve gridlock today.

Wilmot farmers are fighting like hell to protect their farmland from the Ford government, and Green Party of Ontario are fighting with them. There's no justification for the Ford government's expropriation and we're not going to stop until the government pledges to protect Ontario's

Today’s Drug Poisoning Awareness Day event in Downtown Guelph was particularly moving this year as people cope with the news that our community’s consumption and treatment site will be closing in March. So far this year 29 people lost their lives to drug poisoning. I want to

Ford's decision to close safe consumption and treatment sites is callous and not supported by the evidence. Our neighbours' lives are being saved every day at safe consumption and treatment sites. We need more support, not less. Aislinn Clancy and I will continue to fight to

This week is #ConvenienceStoreWeek. It's good to remember that almost half of all convenience stores in Ontario are independently owned and operated, like B Mini Mart on Carden St in Downtown Guelph and Global Gas Station on York Rd. When roads are closed by construction or

Wow. What a great response at the doors today in Belleville with Lori Borthwick. Her role as a frontline healthcare worker and local environmental champion connects with folks. Thanks to the Bay of Quinte Green team for organizing a wonderful day.

We had perfect weather for today’s Labour Day Picnic hosted by the Guelph District Labour Council. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped make it happen. Thank you to the workers and unions who fought so hard for the rights we have to weekends and safe workplaces. I will stand

The start of a new school year is always an exciting time for students, families and educators. It's a great time for a fresh start and to look forward to the many possibilities this year holds. I hope everyone has a great start to the school year and Greens will continue to

Safe consumption sites keeps needles off the street. They also keep people alive. Ford is too focused on his booze scheme to listen to the experts and to learn from those with lived experience. #onpoli

The Science Centre closure was always politically motivated. Kids have missed summer programming and school trips can't resume because the Ford government needs to justify their mega-spa at Ontario Place. We're entering the third month without even a temporary site. The Ford

While people are struggling and looking for solutions, Ford closes the legislature for 21 weeks. There's so many challenges Ontarians are facing: Unaffordable housing, a healthcare crisis, a drug poisoning crisis, and unsafe weather that continues to put strain on our finances,

People are still waiting for Ford to fulfill his promise to end hallway healthcare. But, hey, you can buy a cold one at 7 am. #onpoli thestar.com/news/canada/de…
