The conversations that matter most happen face to face.

This July, I'm spending eight days in Northeastern Ontario — criss-crossing the region and having real conversations with people about what matters to them.

The goal is all 124 ridings. In a few weeks, we hit the halfway mark.

Follow the journey at https://t.co/zQB3DGVHFj and come find us when we're in your area.

Students should be able to pursue opportunities that help them grow both on and off the field.
Kids playing sports was never the problem.

As an athlete and a mom of two athletes, I’ve seen directly how sports builds discipline, mental resilience, leadership and teamwork. These are the very qualities that lend themselves to students succeeding academically.

If attendance rates are declining, the government should be addressing the real issues facing Ontario’s classrooms: teachers being forced to manage classrooms of nearly 35 students, not enough support staff for students with special needs, and growing pressure on families.

Les conversations les plus importantes se déroulent en personne.

Ce mois de juillet, je passerai huit jours dans le Nord-Est de l’Ontario, à parcourir la région pour avoir de vraies conversations avec les gens sur ce qui compte le plus pour eux.

Mon objectif est de visiter les 124 circonscriptions de l’Ontario. Dans quelques semaines, nous atteindrons la moitié du parcours.

Suivez notre tournée au https://t.co/zQB3DGVHFj et venez nous rencontrer lorsque nous serons dans votre communauté.

Three Ontario ministries alone spent more than $55 Million of your tax dollars last year on unneeded ads - ones the Auditor General said were designed primarily to “promote the governing party.” 

I know what  $55 million would mean for hospitals or schools.

Ontario can do better.

What an incredible time celebrating Toronto Pride 2026! 🏳️‍🌈

Today is about honouring love, belonging, and the ongoing fight for recognition, inclusion, and equality — for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities across Ontario, Canada, and the world.

The Ontario Liberal Party and I are committed to ensuring the freedom to live openly and proudly. #WeWontStop

As Leader, I will always use my voice to raise yours.

It’s a beautiful day for #TeamCanada at the #FIFAWorldCup. 

Etobicoke—Lakeshore is cheering for you!  Go Canada Go! 🇨🇦🇨🇦 ⚽️

Trans rights are human rights.

As Transgender rights continue to face opposition, it was important to me to show my support for the community as they demand action and celebrate their diversity.

The Trans Rally, March & Community Fair is an incredible representation of a community that is unapologetically authentic while they continue to demand respect, dignity and access to basic human rights.

Doug Ford didn’t get rid of his #gravyplane. He just found a way to keep flying it on your dime.

The taxpayer funded  Bombardier Challenger was sold at a $200k loss to Chartright — the same company now chartering it back to Ford at $10,000 an hour. Also billed to Ontario.

In April, I introduced the Stop Harmful Gambling Advertising Act.

Calls from boys and young men to ConnexOntario for gambling-related help had risen 144% since the Conservatives privatized online gambling. People know the ads fuel addiction – my Bill tackles this public health crisis head on, just like how we treat smoking and cannabis. The Ford Conservatives voted my Bill down in May.

This week, their own Minister called gambling ads "a growing issue" and confirmed they're looking at new restrictions.

I'm glad they're paying attention. But Ontarians don’t want half measures.

I will keep fighting until there is a total ban on these insidious ads.

A huge thank you to @OntLiberal leadership candidate @LFairclo for attending our Toronto Centre Provincial Liberal Association special Pride fundraiser on Thursday evening in the heart of my community of Toronto Centre at the Toronto People with AIDS Foundation office.

Lee, you’re a true ally and friend to the 2SLGBTQ+ community here in Toronto Centre. I enjoyed discussing party renewal with you and look forward to doing all I can to paint this riding red come the next election!!

Happy Pride Ontario! 🏳️‍🌈

Last night I joined @Kathleen_Wynne, @tylerwatt, and a room full of Liberals and allies at Toronto PWA Foundation — and I left feeling genuinely inspired. Hearing Kathleen speak about the power of representation as Canada's first openly gay Premier was a reminder of what's possible when we lead with courage.

Now more than ever, love is worth celebrating out loud. Trans, gender-diverse, non-binary, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people across Ontario deserve to be safe, seen, and fully supported every single day.

To everyone who came up to me last night to express their support for my campaign — I'm deeply grateful. That kind of grassroots energy is what this is all about.

Let's build that Ontario together.

$24 Million. That’s how much Ontario’s Ministry of Economic Development spent last year on “Invest In Ontario” ads, according to FOI requests.

If I had an extra $24 million to invest in Ontario’s economy, I’d start somewhere with a proven return: Early mental health and addiction services. Research shows: every dollar invested in prevention returns between $4 and $10 to the economy through lower health care costs, and increased productivity.

Tossing around money on advertising doesn’t bring results. Investing in our people to help them overcome challenges so they can contribute to their communities and economy does.
