The rain held off just long enough for Monique Taylor and I to welcome Navdeep Narula to the community. Thank you for your hospitality today. I look forward to getting to know you (and your menu) more as time goes on!

Knowing that there won't be a WinonaPeachFest this year I decided to head out to Winona to pick up some peaches myself. On the way back I also decided to drop by the local ice cream shop for a snack. #shoplocal #HamOnt #Winona #worthit

Today’s the day we hand over the keys to the Manu family! Watch along for speeches and special moments in our stories over on IG (Habitat Hamilton). We’ll be kicking things off at 10am. #hamont #affordablehousing

An exciting morning on the Beach Strip. It's such an honour to take part in another Habitat Hamilton passing of the keys to a wonderful family. May there be many happy memories in your new home. Thanks to the volunteers and donors who helped make this happen #Volunteering #HamOnt

Feels good to be with my fellow Steelworkers on #LabourDay2020 Great to see Dave Murphy CUPE Ontario out in the windy weather in #Solidarity with USW 1005

We are so grateful to be a charity recipient of local #SmileCookie proceeds in Hamilton. Every #SmileCookie sold directly helps our local food banks, hot meal, and student nutrition programs.

A big THANK YOU to everyone across Hamilton who bought and shared a Smile Cookie with someone they love. Because of you, families in our city will be fed ❤️

Despite the scaled back ceremony, the brave men and women who fought and died to protect our freedoms will be remembered today and forever. Thank you to the Royal Canadian Legion-Battlefield Branch 622 for allowing me the honour of placing a wreath in remembrance #CanadaRemembers

We need a real call to action to recognize the situation that continues to worsen in the historically Armenian republic of Nagorno-Karabakh. #PeaceforArmenians

My family and I are heartbroken to hear of the loss of Jude Strickland. No family should ever have to go through such a tragedy. I offer my deepest condolences to the Strickland family and everyone who's lives were touched by Jude.

285 Melvin Ave is fighting against the "Renovictions" happening to their homes and across our city. We need to stand with those who call this city home! Strong protections and fair access and representation at the Landlord & Tenant Board are needed now! #HousingForAll #Bill184

Thanks to Lynda McDougall and McDougall’s Garage for hosting today’s food drive. Collecting non-perishables and cash donations until 3:00. The Stoney Creek Food Bank can use all the help it can get for the #holidays #tistheseason

Diving into climate action initiatives with Paul Miller this afternoon. More specifically: improving and expanding public transit should be top of mind post-pandemic.🚊🚍 #HamOnt

WATCH: Andrea Horwath’s candidate Judith Monteith-Farrell and long-time NDP MPP Paul Miller are saying that the NDP is moving away from the labour movement. Under Andrea Horwath, the NDP are no longer working for workers. #onpoli

I asked Paul Miller how he convinces constituents, and his supporters who have backed him as an NDP, to trust him even though his former party has now rejected him? 1/4

Miller says the NDP has changed since he joined the party years ago, it has lost support from labour, and he will always be a voice for labour. Sewergate and RHVP coverups were unforgivable jumps in to praise Miller for his 15 years of public service but he's still coming after him for the job. #onpoli 2/4

I ask if he remains the voice for labour and the riding, how can he be effective as an independent, he says he can, he will ask questions in the house and draw attention to issues through the media 'You remember that movie Free Willy? Well I'm Free Milly!' #onpoli 3/4

Miller says without a party, he will be able to be free to be a voice for the riding and speak his mind. #onpoli 4/4

Spent day in #HESC canvassing with my friend Paul Miller. Met large number of voters who appreciate Paul’s record of fighting for them over past 15 years. They intend to stick with him while sticking it to his former party for way they’ve mistreated him. #Hamilton #onpoli
