BREAKING: Nova Scotia has announced parking is now FREE at all hospitals. There is no reason that Ontario can't do the same. Nurses and doctors shouldn’t have to pay to go to work. I’m fighting to make hospital parking free across Ontario. #onpoli

Canadians are struggling with the cost of living, while Galen Weston gets a $1.2 million raise. Grocery prices and food bank usage are both at 40-year highs. We need to call out price gouging when we see it. I'm going to continue to address the affordability crisis. #onpoli

Ford lied – again – to the people of Ontario, saying he wouldn’t privatize our public health care. Private, for-profit surgery clinics will mean the number one priority won’t be you and your family’s care – it will be some corporation’s bottom line. #onpoli

BREAKING: The Ford gov't scheduled a midnight debate to ram through Bill 100, which lets them appoint our Region’s chair who will be able to overrule Niagara's elected mayors. It's not right. We stopped the power grab on forced amalgamation. Now we have to stop this one too.

Decisions about Niagara should be made in Niagara, for Niagara. That shouldn't be controversial, or even up for debate. Premier Ford now wants to appoint - not elect - a new regional chair with strong mayor powers. #onpoli 🧵

In my nine years at Queen's Park, I have never seen a piece of legislation as dangerous as Bill 60. We've seen the effects of privatization in long-term care - profits should never come before care. I will continue to fight for our public health care system. #onpoli

Doug Ford lied. He promised the people of Ontario he wouldn’t touch the Greenbelt. Now we know, well-connected developers could see a $8.3 BILLION windfall from removing Greenbelt protections. This is corruption from the provincial government, & Minister Clark should resign.

Five weeks. That’s how long we’ve been at Queen’s Park in the last eight months. Five weeks - and now, thanks to Doug Ford, we won’t be back until March 3rd. 🧵 #onpoli

Doug Ford closed Queen’s Park for 5 months, THEN promised committees would keep working. So why did I drive in from Niagara Falls to do the work, only for his PCs to fight like hell to cancel summer meetings? Is there a promise Ford won’t break? #onpoli

Loblaws' profits are up 31% over the last quarter - as everyday Canadians struggle to afford the price of groceries, food bank usage hits record highs, and food prices outpace inflation. This is corporate greed, plain and simple. And Doug Ford has done nothing. #onpoli

800,000 Ontarians out of work. Youth unemployment near 20%. Rents for a two-bedroom are averaging $2,000 a month in Niagara, while waitlists for affordable housing are decades long. Food banks use is at record levels. That's life in Doug Ford's Ontario. 🧵#onpoli

$1 billion. That's how much the provincial government has spent on private staffing agencies. It's another part of Doug Ford's push for privatization - giving your hard-earned tax dollars to private companies, while our public health care system worsens. #onpoli 🧵

19 weeks. That's how long it has been since we have been at Queen's Park. Doug Ford chose to take a 19-week long summer break while our province has dealt with crises in health care, in education, in affordability - not to mention the threat of Trumps' tariffs. 🧵#onpoli

Doug Ford promised to end hallway health care. Now we know, it's worse than ever recorded before. Another broken promise from the Premier. We need to get back to Queen's PARK ASAP and deal with the crisis in our health care system. Share if you agree. #onpoli

We deserve better as a province—its that’s simple. Healthcare is at the foundation of our country, our province, and community. We help each other. Privatized health care is not the answer. And we’ve witnessed firsthand what private, for-profit healthcare looks like. #onpoli

UPDATE: A criminal investigation has been launched by the RCMP into Doug Ford's Greenbelt corruption. This is the worst scandal in Ontario's history - and let's be clear: this was never, ever about housing. Ford must be held accountable. #onpoli

$400. That's how much of your tax dollars - $400 per person - will go to funding Doug Ford's corrupt luxury spa scheme in Toronto. I think it's absolutely ridiculous - and that every penny of that money should be going to our health care system. What do you think? #onpoli

Let's be clear: Bill 60 is just another way for Doug Ford's corporate buddies to make more profits on the backs of seniors, families, & everyday Ontarians. Make no mistake about it. Bill 60 doesn't doesn't bring in real rent control or protect seniors from renovictions🧵#onpoli

Today, Bill 60 moves closer to being made law. The Conservatives have created a crisis in health care in order to push for more private, for-profit clinics. They refused to consult with communities or front-line workers. I'm always going to stand up for public health care.

Public health care is personal to me. My family lived in poverty when I was young due to medical bills. Today, in the US, more than 60% of bankruptcies are from health care costs, and 100 million people have medical debt. We don't want that here. #onpoli #healthcare
