And we must not be silenced. We know it kills - your mother, your grandfather, your daughter, your cousin, your friend, your neighbour. Crowding kills and silence is complicity. Time to step up and vigorously support Dr. Stockton. Kaitlin Stockton

These kinds of comments are totally unacceptable. Ford disrespected Indigenous communities by failing to consult on Bill 5 and now he is bulldozing ahead, throwing insults along the way. This is not how we unite people to push back against Trump and build a more prosperous,

I was honoured to join the Ontario Farmland Trust yesterday to speak at their AGM. Ontario has some of the best farmland in the world and it was great to speak with a group so dedicated to protecting it.

Wildfires are raging. Water bombers sit unused. Why? Ford won’t pay pilots fair wages. Ontario needs better pay, full-time positions & real wildfire readiness.

On National Indigenous Peoples Day, we honour the strength, culture, and deep knowledge systems of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Turtle Island. This day is not only a time for celebration, it’s a time for recommitment to justice, reconciliation, and respect for

Doug Ford is taking us backwards on climate. Just months into his term, his government already expects to blow past its own pollution targets. The plan was never enough and they knew it. As wildfires rage, Ford’s pouring fuel on the flames. Ontarians are paying the price.

The Ford government knows they are failing to meet their own weakened climate targets. Wildfires, extreme heat, floods are not enough to make them care. Ontario could be the world's leader in clean energy but the Ford government would rather ramp up dirty, expensive gas

A reminder that a: month in hospital: ~$30,000 month in prison: ~$12,000 month in shelter: ~$6,000 month in supportive housing: $4,000 We have an effective solution to homelessness.

Food and farming contributes $50 billion annually to Ontario's economy, but the Ford govt does not have a plan to protect the farmland that supports our food security and the agricultural economy. Bobbi Ann Brady and I put forward a plan to permanently protect the land that

10,000 layoffs. 600 college programs cut. Ontarians are ready to train for jobs in health care, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing, but Doug Ford’s cuts to colleges are shutting them out. Billions for Ontario Place & booze, but not for students? Priorities matter. #onpoli

An apology isn't enough. Minister McCarthy must withdraw this ask and commit to supporting efforts that protect the health and safety of First Nations, especially clean drinking water. Access to clean drinking water is a basic human right that is not available to far too many

Ford's addiction to fossil fuels is taking Ontario down the wrong path. The rest of the world's investors are moving towards low-cost renewable energy, but Ford wants to take us down a path of climate chaos by committing to a west-east pipeline. Ontario could be a world leader

Factoring out Ontario, housing starts are up 17% in Canada. Factoring in Ontario, they’re up only 4%. Doug Ford is dragging down the national average. We can create jobs, use Canadian steel and lumber, and make life affordable by building homes. Ontario must act. #onpoli

The Ford government has a pattern of prioritizing the interests of wealthy, well-connected insiders over the needs of everyday Ontarians. The landfill proposed in Dresden could have lasting consequences for the land, water, and community. We need a full and independent

NEW: Looks like CycleToronto won in court. Justice Schabas finds Ontario's law (AND version 2) to remove bike lanes infringe S7 of the Charter and is not saved by S1, in large part because the govt had no evidence to back up its claims.

Who really represents you? Under first-past-the-post, most people are stuck with a single MP they didn’t vote for. Proportional representation gives you a team of local or regional MPs who reflect your values. Here’s how PR strengthens local democracy 🧵1/8

The Ford’s government’s decision to close these supervised consumption and treatment sites has already cost lives and has made our communities less safe. Experts are clear that we need a care-first approach for people struggling with addictions. Ford's attacks on supervised

Who’s really benefiting from this deal? Not the people of Ontario. Going ahead with the megaspa is a complete waste of taxpayer money— designed only to line the pockets of a foreign company with an uncertain financial future. The Premier owes us answers. #onpoli
