A church, a night club, a dentist's office. What do they all have in common? They all got the friends and family special from the government

You won't find the answer to the homelessness crisis in more prison beds or $10,000 fines.

The answer is housing. #onpoli

Above Guideline Rent Increases (AGIs) are being consistently exploited by corporate landlords to raise rents for tenants in rent-controlled units.

It's time we ban them.

Jo Masterson, @catmckenney.bsky.social and I had a wild time judging dozens of dogs in costume with a turnout of probably 250 people at the Parkdale Market's Howl-O-Ween. The get-ups were amazing and the enthusiasm in the park incredible.

Back in the legislature today—and ready to hold Doug Ford accountable for his jobs disaster. 800,000 people out of work are counting on results and I'm here to make sure they get them.

#BREAKING: 800,000 Ontarians are out of work while Labour Minister Piccini partied in Paris with a lobbyist whose company got millions from his ministry — money he admitted to hand-picking.

As the legislature returns today, I’ve asked the Integrity Commissioner to investigate.

Congratulations to the Ottawa Chinese Community Service Centre on 50 years of service to our community.

I had the pleasure of touring their space today, and learning more about the incredible programs they offer to newcomers - what a team!

Thanks to Prof. O'Neill and her Civic Engagement and Public Institutions class for welcoming me to Carleton campus today.

A great discussion on housing, transit and government.

BREAKING: 800,000 Ontarians are out of work. 1 in 6 young people can’t find a job — and Doug Ford has no plan to fix it.

“No Plan” Doug Ford is a Jobs Disaster.

Speed enforcement cameras work to keep neighbourhoods safe by reducing dangerous speeding. I and @catmckenney.bsky.social ask you to write to your MPP and Premier Ford to oppose legislation that would ban their use in Ontario cities.

In 2017, Catherine McKenney and I traveled to Queen's Park to fight for safer streets in Ottawa-Centre. The government listened to residents. Now, Premier Ford is proposing to make our streets more dangerous. It's the wrong move for intensifying neighbourhoods. www.ola.org/sites/defaul...

Thank-you Ottawa Centre, for putting your trust in me to be your champion at Queen's Park.

Last night you showed that in our community, we always embrace love and hope over anger and fear.

Braved the snowy sidewalks to do my civic duty today

Genuinely, though, felt a lot of joy getting to cast another vote for @catmckenney.bsky.social - provincially, this time!

Fellow Ontarians, I hope you'll vote too, either this weekend or on election day
