The numbers are actually worse than originally reported. Ontario youth deserve better than a Premier who tells them to simply “look harder”.

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.

A new poll shows that majority of Ontarians oppose Ford's decision to eliminate trustees. Parents and communities want local voices in education, not hand-picked supervisors with no accountability or transparency.

Ford's Conservatives are once again showing no respect for taxpayer dollars, funnelling public money from the Skills Development Fund into the hands of corporate insiders and PC friends.

The AG called it "not fair, transparent, or accountable." Just like the Greenbelt.

My office has been advocating on behalf of local child care providers & parents who support the safety measures but want the Ministry of Education to consult. The govt needs to provide funding so operators can meet the upcoming legislative requirements. #onpoli

Daycare facilities call on Ministry to fund safety barriers after crash

Childcare facilities are now taking costly precautions amid new safety rules from the provincial government.

When you underfund education, you leave kids behind. Ford’s failure to invest in supports and resources for children with special needs is a choice and it’s hurting real children every day. Inclusion requires investments. #onpoli #onted

Many autistic students are denied a full education — here’s what we need for inclusive schools

Integrating autistic students fully and meaningfully in classrooms is important for their education, for broader classrooms as well as for families’ employment security and well-being.

We were sadly not approved to have a table at Climate Fest to collect petition signatures this year (fingers crossed for next year!) but thank you to our Riding Association Executive Member Organizer/Communications Rep Kimiko Shibata for collecting signatures on foot via clipboard!!

The first Annual #ClimateFest was a huge success! An inspiring day meeting new friends and collecting signatures on NDP environment petitions (Stop Bill 5, Protect our Farmland, Protect Our Water)!
