A summary of #LydiasLaw, from May 2024 to now. "This has been a painful journey, and I did not know how broken the justice system was. In 2022, 1,326 sexual assault cases were stayed. In 2023, 1,171 sexual assault cases were stayed. Why are rapists walking free in Ontario?" #onpoli

My office saw more renoviction cases in 2025 than we did in the previous 12 years. Municipalities have passed renoviction bylaws to protect tenants from unscrupulous corporate landlords. I hope the City of Waterloo steps up to protect tenants on January 19th #onpoli
On behalf of the Commonwralth Women Parliamentarians, I wish Guyanese people around the world Happy Independence Day on the 60th anniversary of independence. This is a time when Guyana honours its roots while embracing endless possibilities that lie ahead. "One people. One nation. One destiny." 🇬🇾

"When I reported my rape, I never imagined not having a day in court. I've received no justice. The man who did this to me is still out there." This note was given to me at Queen's Park last week by a sexual assault survivor who didn't want to be identified. #onpoli #LydiasLaw
It was inspirational to attend the first ever KW Titans Orange Jersey game. This was not just an event, but a moment of learning, healing, and truth in action. Thanks to Phyllis Webstad, founder of #OrangeShirtDay for courageously sharing your story. #onpoli
Thank you Chandra Pasma for highlighting John’s heartbreaking story. The Ford gov’s broken home care system failed John and his family. How many tragedies like this do we need before this gov will invest & act? #onpoli
University of Waterloo contributes nearly $7 bn to Ontario’s GDP — generating $8.16 in economic activity for every $1 invested. Investing in our students & post-secondary sector is contributes to a strong economy. Why is the Ford govt gutting OSAP and risking this potential in an economic trade war?
All housing development has paused in WR. You can’t address the housing crisis without adequate water infrastructure, which can't be funded off the local tax base. Municipalities drive jobs and need the province’s support – not denial & deflection. Ford has created chaos from a planning perspective.
The Ford government's Bill 98 opens the door to privatize municipal water systems and undermines public trust. Water privatization is a “failed experiment” - we should know better in 2026. I'm proud to vote against Bill 98. #onpoli
It was a privilege to moderate an informative and inspiring panel discussion about women in politics on Sunday. Thanks to Meena Waseem, Karen Coviello and Julie Wright for sharing what inspired them to run for office. #WomenRun

The current leader of the Kuomintang party (KMT), Taiwan's current opposition party, Cheng Li-wun, raises a good point as to why Taiwan’s wellbeing is not in the interest of the US, and why she’s currently pushing for peaceful relations with China. She's currently on a visit to China.
These past two or three weeks, Trump splashed in some 'hot water' and a few jumped out. The way voting went in some states[GA, LA, SC], not enough...but the 'down and out', the disenfranchised, the sick and lonely old been 'beat down' for a long time and are the 'sleeping giant' that can be awoken.

This is WHY Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries have to go. Dems MUST draw a clear line between themselves & Republicans on Gaza. JD Vance isn’t wrong to blame Joe Biden & Kamala Harris for part of Gaza—but Trump & Vance have blood on their hands too. They both backed Israel, & that’s how we got here.🤦🏿♂️
