The Ford Conservatives are trying to rewrite the rules to avoid scrutiny - and I’m not letting it slide. I challenged the government’s changes to FOIs today because transparency isn’t optional. Ontarians deserve answers, not cover-ups. #onpoli

Premier Ford thought a $29M taxpayer-funded jet made sense during an affordability crisis. That tells you everything.

Now he’s fast-tracking anti-FOI changes to dodge public scrutiny.

Same pattern: waste, secrecy, damage control. Ontarians deserve better. #onpoli

Great to meet with students from Algonquin College. We talked about where nursing and politics collide.

Always inspiring to see students stepping up, speaking out, and ready to shape the future.

Ontario buys used $28.9M private jet for Doug Ford: sources A senior official confirmed that the province this week took possession of a 2016 Bombardier Challenger 650 executive jet.

All aboard the gravy plane! ✈️💸

Not enough money for OSAP, public education, health care, or real affordability measures in Ontario.

But a $29 million private jet purchase for Premier Ford? No problem!

So much for fiscal responsibility. #onpoli

TDSB says just under 300 teachers to be cut next year, unions say it’s much higher - Toronto | Globalnews.ca The unions representing elementary and secondary school teachers in Toronto said a total of 607 positions would be eliminated, but the school board says it's much lower.

Today, Ontario's Education Minister said teachers are telling him to "keep it up".

I doubt they support firing teachers, cutting supports for high-needs schools, gutting special education, and paying Conservative-appointed supervisors $350k/year. #onpoli

Ontario introduces sweeping changes to education. Here’s what it means for students and their parents The Ontario government will cut the number of trustees at the Toronto District School Board nearly in half and create new non-elected executive roles as part of a bill aimed at overhauling school gove...

Another day, another power-grabbing omnibus bill from the reckless Ford Conservatives.

This education bill cuts communities out, sidelines local trustees, and hands more control to the Minister.

More power from Toronto. Less voice for you. #onpoli

Government won’t say how much it is spending on its ‘Protect Ontario’ commercials | Globalnews.ca Questions from Global News to the premier's office asking for a full list of different campaigns and how much they are budgeted for have gone unanswered.

Hypocrisy. You can’t claim to be the “most transparent government in history” while actively hiding information from the public - the people you serve.

Why won't the Premier tell us how much your pretending to "protect Ontario" ads cost? #onpoli

Great to visit 20 Dunbar Crt today & see #Nepean Housing Corporation’s newest 31-affordable-unit development.

Projects like this are making a real difference in giving people a safe & affordable place to call home right in our community. #onpoli

Knocked doors in Scarborough Southwest today with Doly Begum - and wow, what an incredible leader and advocate she is.

Doly shows up, listens, and fights hard for her community every single day. You can feel the trust people have in her at every door. #cdnpoli #ScarbTO

I stood with students today outside Queen’s Park who are speaking up for their future.

They’re working hard, doing everything right - and now they’re being told to take on more debt just to get an education.

I’ll keep fighting alongside them until we #FixOSAPASAP.

I’m heartbroken to hear about the passing of Peter Clark, a Barrhaven resident who showed up every single day to help keep students safe.

That dedication matters more than we often say.

My thoughts are with his family, friends, and everyone in the community who knew him and felt his impact.

Today I tabled a stack of #FIXOSAPASAP petitions calling on the government to immediately reverse its changes to #OSAP.

I want to thank the thousands of students, families, and allies from across the province who took the time to sign the petition, collect signatures, and make their voices heard!

Students across Ontario are questioning whether they can even afford their future after these #OSAP changes.

And this out-of-touch government is telling them just to take on more debt and figure it out.

They’re balancing the books on the backs of students - and calling it a plan. #FixOSAPASAP

This week, I met with student leaders at Humber, McMaster, and Brock to talk about OSAP, Bill 33, and what students are really facing right now.

Always appreciate hearing directly from the people pushing for change on campus and beyond.

Ontario's Community and Social Services Need More Support As featured in the March 12, 2026, edition of The Barrhaven Independent - Community Voice.

It’s no secret that many of Ontario’s social services are under strain. But few areas within the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services portfolio require more urgent attention than the Ontario Autism Program. #onpoli

Doug Ford is changing the law to hide information from the public. Meanwhile, he touts "unprecedented transparency" from his government.

Here is a sample of what he says versus what he actually does. #onpoli

‘A drop in the bucket’: Local ETFO President on Ford’s $750 supply cards The local president of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO) says he’s happy to see the provincial government admitting that teachers need more funding, but is concerned with the way it...

This is one of the most pathetic announcements I've seen from Dishonest Doug. Shortchanging schools by billions, but here's a $750 gift card for some teachers to buy toilet paper and basic supplies that schools can't afford. #onpoli #onted

Students from #Nepean walked out today - and their message was loud and clear.

They know Doug Ford’s changes to OSAP will make life harder for them.

I was proud to stand with them. When young people raise their voices, the government should listen. #FixOSAPasap #onpoli

Honoured to join PM Mark Carney & MPs at SNMC in #Nepean for Iftar tonight.

A beautiful evening of community, reflection, and gratitude as families and friends gathered to break the fast together. Ramadan reminds us of the power of compassion, generosity, and coming together across our communities.

Ontario investigated 900 allegations of OSAP fraud last year, government says Provincial officials declined to say what came of the probes

Dishonest Doug is trying to villainize the 450,000 students on #OSAP to justify his cruel changes to the program. The 900 cases he is referencing is 0.002%. They should be held accountable, but don’t pretend this is widespread fraud. #onpoli

Last night we celebrated my one year anniversary as MPP for #Nepean. This role has been the honour of a lifetime.

Together, we’ve stood up for public health care, strong schools, and real affordability - and we’re just getting started.

I’ll keep fighting for you every single day. #onpoli

“When the Premier goes on national TV and says students spend OSAP on watches and cologne, it’s a slap in the face to all of us.”

OSAP is about tuition, rent, and groceries - not luxury.

Students like Raheem deserve respect and a fair shot. #onpoli

Today, I stood shoulder to shoulder with students from across Ontario to demand the repeal of Ford’s OSAP cuts.

This is about more than policy - it’s about whether young people can afford to build a future in this province. We won’t let this government price a generation out of their dreams.

Sault Ste. Marie faces bed, staffing losses under provincial funding plan, CUPE warns Emergency waits already among the longest in the province could get longer as staffing and bed losses loom under Ontario's current funding plan.

The Sault Area Hospital is a lifeline for Northern Ontario. But under the Ford government’s funding model, they will have to cut 17 beds & 63 nursing and PSW positions. Cuts like this don’t save money - they cost patients time, care, and dignity. #onpoli

Hallway health care metric one of several 'to be retired' from health agency’s public report The metric was not included in the latest Ontario Health annual report, with one emergency physician calling it ‘utter malpractice’ to not release the data publicly

Doug Ford promised to end hallway health care in 2018. Now Ontario’s Conservatives are hiding the numbers from the public because of their blatant failure to fix it.

Access, prevention, and a robust public system are the only solution. #onpoli
