My heart is heavy hearing of the tragic school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, BC. To the families grieving unimaginable loss and to a community shaken by violence, please know that you are not alone. People across NL, and across this country, are holding you in our thoughts and in our hearts. 1/2

I had an excellent time at Hospitality Newfoundland and Labrador's Holiday Reception this past week. I had some great conversations about the success of our tourism industry and how we can build on that momentum by strengthening and growing it to attract more people to our province.

My thoughts are with the Jewish community after the horrific antisemitic attack at a Hanukkah event in Australia. Violence born of hate doesn’t stop with those who experience it firsthand; its consequences are felt across communities and beyond borders. 1/3

The NL NDP is the only party actively prioritizing Pharmacare - it's as simple as that.

I had a wonderful morning attending a Tea and Chat with Ms. Williams’ Social Studies class at Brother Rice Junior High. We discussed the role of an MHA, the responsibilities that come with public service, and the importance of supporting the people we represent.

My heart goes out to the workers and the entire community of St. Mary’s after the devastating loss of the fish plant last night. This is a difficult time for so many, but I have every confidence in the strength, resilience, and compassion that define our communities.

Seven months ago, the Liberals said cutting the HST from home heating couldn’t be done. They blocked you from saving money — just so they could campaign on it later. If I’d known it would take an election for them to act, I would’ve called for one every week.

Today, Sheilagh O'Leary and I announced the NDP commitment to removing the provincial HST from all forms of home heating. Not just electricity, but wood, oil, and propane. We would keep the $500 oil rebate in place to ensure that we are getting more money back into peoples pockets.

We should have a government that prioritizes the people of this province above all else. We’ve got people who are trying to help through non-profits but they just aren’t getting the support from the government – the Liberals are choosing to prioritize for-profits corporations.

Education for all. Thank you MUNSU, MUNFA, CFS, and all involved in today's march to bring back the tuition freeze. Memorial University, the students, faculty, and workers, are our future. It's time for a government that recognizes that, not with words, but with actions.

We have heard heartbreaking stories over the last number of years about senior couples being split up when entering long-term care. That is why the NDP committed to bringing in new legislation that prioritizes couples being placed together in long-term care.

Thank you David, Catherine, Elijah and Penelope for hosting us today to release the NL NDP's costed platform. It offers practical and responsible solutions to immediately lower costs for families and gets our healthcare system back on track – but it does so in a way that lives within our means.

Today, as part of the NL NDP’s commitment to becoming the most transparent government in the province’s history, I announced that we would end the revolving door between NL cabinets and corporate boards who have interests before the province by extending the cooling off period for elected officials.

This morning before heading to Labrador, I announced the NDP's Regional Transit Strategy. For far too long, Successive Liberal and Conservative governments have focused on what they can take from Labrador while ignoring the people who actually live here and make this province run.

Over the past 4 years, the waitlist for NLHC units has risen to approximately 2500. That is 2500 too many. An NDP Government will come to the table ready to tackle the problem, taking bold action to build 1000 housing units across the province that are both affordable and accessible. Every year.

We all have a story about where we were on September 11, 2001. Here in Newfoundland and Labrador, our story is one of compassion, resilience, and community. Today, we remember the lives lost and honour the contributions of our province in the face of tragedy.

Our plan to overhaul childcare in this province starts by introducing pensions and better working conditions to attract more ECEs – making more spaces available and saving young families thousands of dollars. That’s the kind of better deal families in our province deserve.

It was an honour to attend the St. John’s City Pride flag raising today. In a time when hate is on the rise, it’s more important than ever to stand in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Pride is a celebration, but it’s also a reminder of our ongoing fight for equality.

Siobhan Coady dedicated many years of service to the people of her district and to the province. While we often stood on opposite sides of policy, she was always respectful, open to dialogue, and willing to engage in meaningful debate. I wish her all the best in whatever comes next.

If government truly wants to help, they should listen to the NDP and remove the HST from all forms of home heating. People are trying to make up for the heat bills that they had this winter, another increase will only make the problem worse.

As the cost of living continues to rise, it's more important than ever to come together, share our experiences, and discuss real solutions. This event is a chance for residents of St. John’s and surrounding communities to raise their voices, ask questions, and help shape the path forward.
