Today I introduced legislation to ban floor crossing without voter consent. When MPs switch parties after an election, they override the will of the people and erode trust. My bill restores accountability: if you want to change parties, face your constituents and let them decide.
#BREAKING: I've written to Prime Minister Mark Carney, urging him to intervene to stop Doug Ford's Toronto Islands land grab.
While emergency rooms close, grocery prices go up, and workers lose their jobs, Doug Ford’s obsession with Toronto is costing the province.
The federal government can end this today.
The good people of Ontario have had their rights taken away by the Ford government time and time again.
As Premier, I will bring back accountability, transparency and fiscal responsibility to Queen’s Park.
ALL OUT FOR SCARBOROUGH SOUTHWEST! ⚡🧡
Congratulations to Fatima Shaban on her nomination as the Ontario NDP candidate in the upcoming by-election, and thank you to every candidate who stepped up.

I think it’s outrageous that Doug Ford would even consider spending $30M on a luxury private plane at a time when people in Ontario are struggling with the rising cost of living.
What if the person next to you is paying a different price for the same thing? An algorithm decided that. 🏷️💵
Watch to the end to find out how – then go to https://t.co/ml28afQU57 and tell every Conservative MPP to vote YES to banning predatory pricing.
The fight to save OSAP hits close to home for me.
I came to Ontario from Newfoundland as a student, looking for a better future. Carleton University gave me that chance, and it helped me build a life here, raise my family, and become who I am today.
I'm also a mom of two young women. I see the pressure up close. The debt, the uncertainty, the feeling that the deck is stacked against you before you've even started.
To every student, parent, and advocate I've met these past few weeks: your stories are the heart of this – and I won't back down.
Next week I'm forcing another vote and a debate to make reverse these cuts and make education more affordable. Every PC MPP will have a choice: listen to students, or on the record defending Doug Ford's cuts in front of the people who sent them to Queen's Park.
Ford scrapped anti-scalping laws in 2019 and let ticket gouging run wild.
Now he wants credit for fixing it?
You don’t get applause for putting out a fire you started.
Ontarians aren’t fooled.

I don’t find this very funny. Comparing our debt to the USA dumpster fire is wild…
“Ontario is forecast to pay $16.2 billion in interest costs on its total debt in the 2025–26 fiscal year. $17.0 billion in 2026–27
$17.8 billion in 2027–28”

New law will be RETROACTIVE.
This will make it very difficult to follow the money on the Greenbelt Scandal & Skills Development Fund Scandal #onpoli
The most “transparent government”
Yet the Ford government now wants to shield the Premier’s office from Freedom of Information requests.
If you’re transparent, you don’t hide the records.
Like Marit Stiles said — this is bullshit.
#Onpoli
Ford government to keep documents from Premier & cabinet minister offices secret.
- The records of the Premier, cabinet ministers, and their offices will no longer be subject to freedom of information requests
- It will apply retroactively to FOI's in progress
- Only civil servants can be FOI'd
- Government continues to claim to be "One of the most transparent governments in the history of Ontario.”
- "This is bullshit" says NDP leader Marit Stiles
My office once filed a Freedom of Information request with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. It took five years and over $1,000 just to get a response.
That’s not transparency. That’s a system designed to keep Ontarians in the dark.

Education is a great equalizer because it lifts people out of poverty by enabling them to gain qualifications that lead to better-paying jobs and more opportunities. OSAP is an investment in Ontario's future.

Run out of money? But your government is spending $2.2 billion on a mega spa and billions more on a convention centre, Andrew.
You’re spending money on luxuries while gutting opportunities for the future of our province.

The Ford government promised to end hallway health care.
Today, after eight years of Ford, hallway health care is worse than ever in Ontario.
The problem has got so out of hand that now, they aren't even tracking the numbers.
Patients deserve so much better. #onpoli
