Had a great time canvassing outside Blantyre Public School the other day! We had a chance to meet crossing guard Donna, and it was her birthday — the kids got her flowers and cake and we sang!

For too long, renters have been left behind by City Hall. I'm going to change that. When my tenant guide shows up at your door, hold on to it! And October 26, vote for a Councillor you can count on - for a change. Join me: KevinR.ca/Tenants #ScarboroughSouthwest #Ward20 #TOPoli

Yesterday's office opening fundraiser was a blast! Thanks to everyone who joined us, everyone who spoke, including Birch Cliff resident Dr. Marvin Macaraig, local leader Paula Masterson, and former Councillor Mike Layton - it was a great turnout, we raised a ton of money, and we had a great canvass!

Met with PSAC workers this morning who are fighting for a fair deal. The Bank of Canada should respect workers’ rights, stop replacing highly trained in-house security officers with contractors & SCABS, & get back to the table. Public institutions should protect workers, not undermine them.

It's time to ban surveillance pricing. Companies are tracking what you buy, what you search, even how you move your mouse, to answer one question: what's the most YOU will pay? Not one price for everyone. Your price. And it could be costing your family $1,200 more per year on groceries alone.

Incredible canvass with the Scarborough Southwest team and my friends Fatima Shaban and Marit Stiles. Fatima is a relentless fighter for workers, families, and our community. It was great to be out knocking doors, listening to neighbours, and building a stronger movement together.

It’s time to break up the grocery monopoly. There’s a clause hiding in grocery store leases that keeps your bill high, and most people have never heard of it. It’s called a property control, and the giant chains use it to block competitors from opening anywhere near them.

This is disgusting, and Doug Ford does not get to shrug it off. Spying on a woman who is one of your political opponents on her private vacation is creepy Trump-style politics that has no place here. Women already face enough barriers in politics without this kind of behaviour.

Danielle Smith’s new Bill 11 regulations are a direct attack on public health care. They open the door to a two-tier system where those with money can pay for faster access to medically necessary surgeries while everyone else waits longer. And where is Mark Carney? substack.com/@heathermcph...

When Trump launched his attacks on Iran by bombing a school and killing 160 children, the Prime Minister said he supported the war. Now, he claims that Trump's War in Iran was "worth it." Really? Thousands are dead, nothing has changed. @mark-carney.bsky.social, this war was NOT worth it!
