Three of four suicide deaths in Canada are men. Men ask for help less, and pay for it later in addiction, chronic illness and lost years. It doesn't have to be this way. Prevention and peer support work. Proud to join the Board of the Canadian Men’s Heath Foundation www.healthing.ca/men/opinion-...

The Toronto Youth Employment Charter asks employers to commit to real first jobs: fair pay, open doors, pathways that last. The CNE signed today, expanding our commitment to make sure every kid gets their first job. Thank you to @unitedwaygt.bsky.social for leading the way.

It is with a very heavy heart that I learned of the passing of my friend and former colleague, Kirsty Duncan. Kirsty was a beacon of light and kindness on the Hill and in my life. We will miss her deeply.

Excited to share I’ve stepped into the role of CEO of the Canadian National Exhibition. The CNE is more than a fair, it’s a celebration of culture, creativity, community and Canada. I look forward to growing its impact year-round and seeing you on the Midway.

Fantastic humour, kindness, and humanity. John McCallum served with incredible dignity. Appointed my ‘Parliamentary buddy’ in 2004, he helped me enormously in those early years and remained a friend and mentor ever since (as he was to so many). I’ll miss you dearly, John.

I think of fishing on a lake with my Grandpa, showing my kids the mountains for the first time, and the community of Ajax I’m lucky to represent. When I see our flag, I see the people and stories that make us who we are - the true north, strong and free. 🇨🇦 (3/3) #NationalFlagOfCanadaDay

We need a two-state solution implemented where Palestinians and Israelis can live in peace and security within the internationally recognized borders. Along with the immediate rebuilding of Gaza and delivery of aid; this should be the entire focus of conversations and effort. (2/2)

Palestinians have a fundamental right to self determination. Being forcibly displaced from Gaza would be a heinous violation of international law. (1/2)
