New Friday Round Table! Ryan Gauss, Mojdeh Azad and @caroldyck.bsky.social joined me to breakdown a big #ldnont mayoral campaign promise from Susan Stevenson - 1% tax hikes each of the next two years. Is this even possible without deep cuts? Will it convince voters? That and more!

It was a real pleasure to hear the Honourable Erin O'Toole yesterday at Huron University. His call for respectful conversations on difficult topics across differences and to listen, to "dare greatly" & serve your community were impactful. As ever, the students posed thoughtful questions. #cdnpoli

My husband's family has been evacuated because of the Bradley Creek fire. It is dangerously close to their house. My thoughts are with everyone affected by the wildfires in BC and across Canada. There is a lot of anxiety and sadness. Year after year this happens. It's heartbreaking. #BCwildfires

As this incredibly hot summer progresses, and now wildfires in northern ON are devastating entire communities while smoke blankets southern regions, threatening vulnerable citizens, I urgently want to talk about #climatechange policy. @mattbrownldn.bsky.social just reminded me that we did last year.

New favourite mug. Particularly appropriate right now. Year after year wildfires impact Canadians. People are suffering tremendous loss with the Ontario fires. Here the smoke is thick. We should not normalize air quality so bad kids can’t play outside. It’s time to get serious about climate change.

Less than a week ago I met with my MP Peter Fragiskatos to call for the Canadian govt to implement concrete policies to cut emissions & adapt urban areas to rising temperatures. Days over 30C have doubled for July. It's time to take climate change & its effects seriously. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Poilievre has no sense. Not only do we need this project, it should have happened decades ago. AND, it should extend to Windsor & Sarnia. Canadian rail is severely underdeveloped. People need viable options other than cars & planes to travel that corridor. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
