Great to be back in the old part of Don Valley East, which I represented before 2018 and is now Don Valley North, with my friend and the next MPP for the area, @jontsao @OntLiberal #onpoli

Went out canvassing for Andrea Hazell in Scarborough-Guildwood! She’s got a fantastic team working hard to connect with voters. If you can, come out and help—every conversation counts! #TeamHazel #ScarboroughGuildwood #OnPoli @AndreaHazelll

This weekend I stopped by the CML Village BIA launch and joined the community in celebrating this exciting new chapter.

Great to see so many people enjoying the Winter ZOO Festival and illuminated ice sculptures. Looking forward to seeing this BIA grow and support local businesses!

Happy to support @QadiraJackson as she runs to be the next MPP for Scarborough Southwest! Her passion, dedication, and commitment to the community are exactly what’s needed at Queen’s Park. Honoured to speak at her fundraiser—let’s get her elected! #onpoli #TeamQadira

Great to join Andrea Hazell in Scarborough-Guildwood as she runs for re-election as MPP! Andrea brings the kind of energy needed at Queen’s Park to amplify the voices and concerns of her constituents. Looking forward to seeing her continue to deliver for the community! #onpoli @AndreaHazelll

Another fantastic canvas with our @OntLiberal candidate in #DVE @ShamjiAdil. The message at the door was clear. People want a government focused on fixing our healthcare system, and ensuring that everyone has access to a family doctor. #onpoli

“Pierre Poilievre’s so-called ‘common sense’ plan borrows straight from Mike Harris, who slashed health care, education, and essential services. Canadians, don’t fall for his tricks—cuts hurt our communities most. #PierrePoilievre #CutsHaveConsequences #Cdnpoli

Polarization and misinformation are tearing at the fabric of Canada’s democracy. The Conservatives are stoking division and spreading falsehoods, prioritizing politics over people. Canadians deserve leaders who unite, not divide. #CdnPoli #Democracy

Mike Harris’s cuts to social services, housing, and healthcare pushed Ontario’s most vulnerable deeper into crisis. Pierre Poilievre is singing the same tune: tax cuts for the rich, austerity for the rest. We can’t afford another era of cruel, short-sighted policies. #cdnpoli
December 11, 2024 at 3:23 AM
Pierre Poilievre’s playbook feels eerily familiar: tax cuts for the wealthy, slashing public services, and a ‘common sense’ branding. Looks like he’s channeling Mike Harris’s divisive and damaging legacy. We’ve seen this movie before, and we know how it ends. #cdnpoli

While knocking on doors this weekend, I heard one clear message: people value programs and services that invest in them and their loved ones. They do NOT support Conservative cuts that undermine progress. Together, let’s keep building a stronger, more caring nation. 💪 #cdnpoli

75% of Canadians support the CBC, and most consider it one of the most trusted media outlets. Yet, Conservatives are proposing to dismantle a national broadcaster they originally created in 1936.

Despite the snow, cold, and slippery conditions, the warmth and enthusiasm of the people in Scarborough-Woburn made knocking on doors today a fantastic experience. Thank you to the amazing volunteers who braved the weather to connect with residents and talk about Canada’s future. @liberal_party

Hard to understand why Poilievre is so dismissive of a #TeamCanada response to President Trump.
Anyone (Pierre Poilievre) that thinks a Team Canada approach is just a photo-op shouldn't be the leader of Team Canada. #cdnpoli #peipoli

Doug Ford is wasting $2.2 billion of your money to build a private spa nobody wants while destroying the Science Centre that everyone valued. The Minister of Infrastructure should resign and the Ford government needs to be replaced. #cdnpoli #peipoli

In the wake of the U.S. tariff threat, the Conservative Leader has looked jittery, uncertain and off-key

Less than 1% of irregular migrants entering the U.S. come from Canada, and only 0.02% of fentanyl entering the U.S. originates here. Spreading false narratives isn’t leadership—it’s fearmongering. Let’s focus on facts, not fiction. #cdnpoli

There's a phrase in provincial auditor general Shelley Spence's report that could, by now, serve as a slogan for Doug Ford's government: "Without proper planning."
