Doug Ford has admired and praised Donald Trump for many years, as demonstrated in this clip. When people show us who they really are, believe them. It's no surprise that he has favoured 🇺🇸 contractors over 🇨🇦 #onpoli

Shocking to hear the Finance Minister failed to consider the $225M price tag to accelerate beer &amp; wine into corner stores. Millions of taxpayer dollars at the expense of ON’s healthcare, education system &amp; infrastructure. This is the definition of fiscal irresponsibility. #onpoli

Chair Karen Redman told CTV Kitchener Doug Ford blocked Region of Waterloo from being transparent about the Wilmot land assembly. This week, Ford told #FightForFarmland “I don’t know why all the secrecy was going on. I couldn’t figure it out.” 👖🔥 #OnPoli

Ford likes to brag about his beer &amp; wine “deal” - which cost us millions of dollars. It is astounding that they can fast-track alcohol while 1199 ERs closed last year. Ontario. You deserve better. #onpoli

The Pride flag should fly at every (publicly) funded school in Ontario. Every student deserves to feel safe &amp; welcome. The Ontario NDP stands in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQ+ community #Onpoli

A PC MPP cautioned me on my questions yesterday (honestly) and reminded me that my mom was watching. I let him know that she ALSO wants answers. “The government may not want to give the answers but the people of Ontario want me to ask the questions" #GreenbeltScandal #OnPoli

A simple question – how many ppl are employed in the Office of the Premier? The numbers don’t add up.. there are millions of unaccounted dollars in spending by the Premier’s office. Ontarians deserve transparency in how their taxpayer dollars are spent #onpoli

Ford’s cabinet is almost as large as PM Trudeau’s, despite serving less than half the population. When Doug Ford took office, 20 staffers in the premier’s office made more than $100,000/year… That number is now up to 48. And what do we have to show for it? #onpoli

Privatization of water means profit will determine water systems, cost and access. Ontario already learned difficult lessons by reducing oversight of water quality. This is another risky and harmful Ford failure. #onpoli

The government of Ontario has threatened to expropriate 770 acres of farmland in Wilmot for an undisclosed industrial project. This is some of the best arable land in Ontario, and it's worth fighting for. #OnPoli #FightForFarmland

It's pretty obvious in this exchange who knows about and cares about the people of Waterloo Region. Tips for the Minister: 1. Never insult the people of Waterloo Region. 2. Don't tell us to thank you for infrastructure you've kept stalled for years. #onpoli

The Wilmot land grab is not how democracy works. Kicking farmers off their land is un-Canadian... it is not the Waterloo way. It is downright disrespectful to farmers #FightForFarmland #onpoli

My office has been receiving many concerns around lack of access to COVID tests, so my staff have called 149 pharmacies in Waterloo region to locate them. If you're looking for a COVID test, visit my website and find the pharmacy closest to you. #OnPoli

Sexual assault cases are being tossed out of Ontario courts - not because survivors lack evidence, but because the justice system lacks resources. The Ford government’s neglect is denying survivors their day in court. #LydiasLaw #ONpoli

We've seen a steady erosion of democracy in ON. Ford is shutting down the legislature until March 23 while we see record unemployment, a housing &amp; healthcare crisis. The Legislature is the only place where we can create laws to help tackle these issues. #onpoli

ON farmers deserve respect. Ford &amp; Co. are funding the ROW land assembly of 770 acres of Class 1 Farmland in Wilmot Township for industrial use. This farmland will be lost w/o ANY public consultation. Wilmot farmers are NOT willing hosts. #FightForFarmland #NoFarmsNoFood #onpoli

Budget 2023 doesn't mention autism once... Perhaps this is why Merrilee Fullerton resigned. #onpoli

Infrastructure Ontario warned the Ford Govt that Therme recently had only 1 million euros in the bank prior to signing the 95-year lease. Another example of fiscal mismanagement by Ford and co. #onpoli

Join me in telling the Premier and Metrolinx that a few new bus routes between #WatReg &amp; Brampton doesn't cut it. Waterloo Region is long overdue for Two-Way, All-Day GO train service - including WEEKENDS! Download &amp; sign my petition here: #OnPoli

The downloading of responsibility from the province to municipalities is not sustainable or affordable. Billions of property tax dollars are diverted each year to pay for provincial programmes, driving up your tax bill. The province should pay their own bills, not you. #OnPoli

The Therme deal will join Highway 407 as one of the worst deals in the history of this province. When will the Minister of Infrastructure resign for her role in this corrupt Ontario Place deal that was driven by an opaque process with preferential treatment? #ONpoli
