The FAO says Ontario will be $2 billion short just to maintain CURRENT health care services. I asked Minister Jones a simple question: yes or no, will there be service cuts? She deflected. I asked again. She never answered. #onpoli

I asked the Health Minister about nurses and health care workers being laid off across Ontario. She didn’t answer. Throughout committee, she blamed the federal government, blamed the previous Liberal government from eight years ago, and avoided answering questions. #onpoli

Happy Rehabilitation Day, Ontario! As a geriatric rehabilitation nurse, this work has always been close to my heart. It was wonderful visiting my colleagues at the Geriatric and Rehabilitation Unit at QCH today. ❤️

Proud to join teachers and education workers in Nepean this morning for their Day of Action. Our schools need proper funding, safe and supportive classrooms, and the staff and resources students need to succeed. #OntEdUnited #Red4Ed #OntEd

Doug Ford likes to play “Captain Canada.” 🇨🇦 But while he talks about buying Canadian, his government keeps sending Ontario tax dollars to American companies. Ontario deserves more than words. #onpoli

I joined Progress Canada to talk about Doug Ford’s attack on post-secondary education - from cuts to OSAP, program closures, and the growing pressure on Ontario’s colleges and universities. Our public post-secondary system is worth fighting for. youtu.be/F1obAbf7qGo #onpoli #onted

Ontario has three by-elections tonight. To all the candidates, as someone who has lost and won in elections, be proud of what you’ve done no matter the result. More importantly, thank your volunteers, because without them there wouldn’t be a possible win. And finally, get some well deserved rest.

Nurses are being fired across Ontario while ERs are overcrowded, patients are waiting hours for care, and those still on the front lines are burning out. Premier Ford, Minister Jones - you need to understand how dire this situation is. Firing nurses is making our health care crisis worse. #onpoli

Trump’s trade war is a threat to all of us. This is a time for unity - all 124 MPPs should be at Queen’s Park working together. Ontario Liberals are calling on the Ford gov to recall the Legislature, support workers, small businesses, families, and farmers. Let’s work on a plan together. #onpoli

Creepy. Invasive. Completely unacceptable. Doug Ford’s Conservatives sent someone to Jamaica to spy on Bonnie Crombie while she was on vacation. Ontarians deserve answers. #onpoli

Doug Ford calls himself the most fiscally responsible Premier in history. After 8 long years, Ontario’s debt is nearing HALF A TRILLION dollars. Hospitals are cutting nurses, schools are overcrowded, and 2.5 million people don’t have a family doctor. Priorities. #onpoli

Not that I’m here very often these days… 😉 But every time I walk through these doors, I’m reminded what an incredible privilege it is to represent Nepean at one of the most beautiful and historic buildings in our province. It’s a responsibility I’ll never take for granted. ❤️ #onpoli

Here is my message to Doug Ford and Paul Calandra: Students deserve to learn in well-funded classrooms. Education workers deserve respect at the bargaining table, not another fight. Stop treating public education as an afterthought and do your job. #onpoli #onted

It was great to visit the Canadian Red Cross today and learn more about the personalized recovery support they are providing to families impacted by the 2026 Ottawa floods. If you were affected by the floods, I encourage you to explore the available resources: www.redcross.ca/2026ottawafl...

A disappointing flood update. I have sent an open letter calling on the province to do the right thing and ensure everyone in Nepean and Ottawa impacted by this storm has access to the recovery support they deserve. #onpoli

I want to thank everyone who spoke up, shared their stories, and advocated for the students who rely on these supports every day. I also appreciate the Board's reconsideration of this decision. Every child deserves to get to and from school safely, and this is a positive step in the right direction

A poll shows your approval rating is tanking? Call it fake. A crowd photo doesn't look great? Edit it. Doug Ford is borrowing a few too many pages from Donald Trump's playbook. Let’s not normalize this. #onpoli

Students deserve stability, opportunity, and a future they can count on. With OSAP being gutted and youth voting rates lagging, it’s clear change is needed. That is why I met with the @uottawa.ca Student Union with @tylerwatt.bsky.social — to hear directly from those affected.

The Ford Conservatives tried to shut down the committee that scrutinizes political appointments over the summer. Ontario Liberal MPPs fought back - and won. Transparency shouldn't take a summer vacation. #onpoli
