It was really expensive to get beer into corner stores one year early. Had Ontario’s Conservatives just waited one year, this wouldn’t have cost us nearly $2 billion.
$2 billion that could’ve gone to hospitals, schools, and social programs. #onpoli

I asked Ontario’s Minister of Colleges and Universities whether he or his staff had any influence over millions given to a company that was flagged by a forensic audit and is now before the OPP Anti-Rackets Branch.
His answer? Perplexing. Here’s my response. #onpoli

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

Had the privilege of speaking with Carleton University’s first-ever nursing class about advocacy. Nurses aren’t just caregivers – we’re change-makers. Seeing their passion reminded me why I fight every day for a stronger, more compassionate health care system. The future is bright. 🩺✨ #onpoli

Even after I reminded her, twice, that my question was about retention, she ignored it.
