The Ford Conservatives are trying to rewrite the rules to avoid scrutiny - and I’m not letting it slide. I challenged the government’s changes to FOIs today because transparency isn’t optional. Ontarians deserve answers, not cover-ups. #onpoli

The Ford government keeps talking about how they’ve made a world-class health care system. I asked if they still believe this while ERs close, 2.5 million people go without a famil...

I’ve heard from so many Ontarians who are furious about Bill 5 -and they’re right to be. It guts consultation, tramples local voices, and puts our communities at risk. That’s why...

I’ll be voting against Bill 33, again, today. Bill 33 is a power-grab that centralizes control, sidelines local voices, and opens the door to political interference from child welfare to K-12 to post-secondary. Students, families, and educators deserve better. #onpoli #onted
A dark day for democracy in Ontario. Buried inside the budget bill that passed today? Sweeping changes to the FOI system that shield the Premier’s phone records, his office, and Ministers’ offices from the public, even wiping out requests retroactively. You should be furious. I am. #onpoli
Doug Ford is the most expensive premier in Ontario’s history - but his record spending isn't actually helping Ontarians. Premier, it is time to put our money where your mouth is. It is way past time to start actually building homes, creating jobs, and helping Ontarians. #onpoli
It was an honour to rise in the Ontario Legislature as a proud gay man during #PrideMonth. We’ve come a long way, but the fight for equality, dignity, and safety continues. I’ll never stop using my voice for our community. 🏳️🌈 #onpoli Full speech: youtu.be/l5vULdi69tY
This Nurses Appreciation Week, I’m thinking of every nurse who shows up with skill, heart, and strength - often under immense pressure. As a Registered Nurse and MPP for #Nepean, I will always fight for the support, respect, and resources we deserve. Thank you for all you do.
We just found out it cost Ontarians $190,000 to return Doug Ford’s luxury private jet. ✈️ While people struggle with the cost of living and our public services are stretched to the breaking point, this government continues to waste your money. You deserve better. #onpoli
Doug Ford’s Conservatives are taking an extended break from Queen’s Park until March 23. People are struggling, ERs are packed, basic needs aren’t being met – and this government’s response is to ram through a bunch of harmful bills and then clock out. It’s undemocratic. #onpoli
Doug Ford is changing the law to hide information from the public. Meanwhile, he touts "unprecedented transparency" from his government. Here is a sample of what he says versus what he actually does. #onpoli
Tomorrow, the Ontario Liberals will table a motion to reverse Doug Ford’s dangerous FOI changes. The Ford Conservatives will face a moment of truth - fix this, or double down on secrecy. Ontarians are watching. #onpoli
The Health Minister says health workers are “cheering them on” and that laying off nurses is “appropriate.” The Premier said he saved the health system. I reminded them that an ER doctor, a nurse, and former hospital CEO are right here in my caucus, and none of us are cheering. #onpoli
Great communication from Duncan Robinson here. Gets the playcall and is right in Paul Reed's ear. Pretty sure they went Wide (call for the pindown), Robinson is letting him know there's a Flare this time. Tells him to stay high. Mobley helps on the flare, Reed open on the roll

I’ve always been able to stand firmly in my values while also working across the aisle to deliver results. Oklahoma has the highest number of wrongful convictions in the country. For years, the compensation they received from the state was nowhere near enough.

Democratic Senators are moving in the right direction with drawing a line at DHS funding — but they need to understand how to negotiate with extremists. Starting position should be: DON’T FUND ANYTHING until demands for accountability at ICE, BP, and DHS are met. #alexpretti #shutdown #minneapolis
The founders intended our U.S. Senators to serve as a moderating, independent check on presidential power, especially in foreign relations. Unfortunately, that “independence” is missing from Idaho Senator Jim Risch.
You are 100% right! As a society we must learn to listen without judgment. Match others' energy and only give back what they are willing to give you. We all must freely use our voice without restraint or limitation. What we have to say is important and due the respect it deserves. SPEAK UP!
