When I ran for office in 2021, I made it clear that our government needed to do more to end the discriminatory blood ban barring gay, Two-Spirit, bisexual, queer men, trans people, and other men who have sex with men, from donating blood.
Fantastic turnout today! Great to see the energy in #TorontoCentre this morning. Thank you to so many residents who came out this morning to hear our message about how an @OntLiberal government will bring positive change to Queens Park on June 2! #onpoli
Thank you to MP @MarciIen for coming out to share our message of positive change at our office opening. Excited to see the energy from so many #TorontoCentre residents who came out to join us today! #onpoli
I stopped by Allan Gardens Food Bank in #TorontoCentre — an entirely volunteer-led program that prioritizes community and capacity building.
I got to help pack and distribute meals, catch up with the team and most importantly hear from residents.
Celebrations include: exchanging of gifts, sharing a meal with loved ones, and setting a Nowruz table with items that symbolize happiness, abundance and prosperity.
Nowruz Mubarak and Happy New Year to all those celebrating in #Canada and #TorontoCentre!
Nowruz meaning “new-day” has been celebrated for over 3000 years. It marks the beginning of spring, and the New Year in Iran’s Solar Hijri calendar. It symbolizes the rebirth of nature and victory of light over darkness.
Nowruz is about coming together to reflect on the past year and celebrate new beginnings. To everyone marking this occasion, Sophie and I are wishing you a happy and safe Nowruz! Har Ruz etan Nowrouz, Nowruz etan Pyrouz. https://t.co/eys4BJjIqr
I’m all for journalists asking tough questions, but really?!
Could there be a more important time for Canada to defend our values on the global stage?

One of the most impressive things about @JustinTrudeau ’s leadership: his ability to use the talents of his team to the full, and stand back as others get praise for their excellent work. Not sure people understand how unusual that is.
So let me get this straight: The Ontario government literally underspent by $5.5 billion this year (including $1.3 billion unspent on healthcare & $1.1 billion unspent on social supports like ODSP) during a COVID-19 crisis, overdose death crisis & a housing crisis?
Enraging.
Zelensky rejected U.S. offer to evacuate him from Kyiv - @washingtonpost.
President is in the capital, leading our nation through its darkest hour.
Earlier today, he told NATO leaders he might be killed, he’s not lying. I have so much respect for him. True leader!
Update: Canada will impose severe sanctions on President Putin, his Chief of Staff, and his Foreign Minister – the men who bear the greatest responsibility for the death and destruction occurring in Ukraine.
I haven’t had a cold in almost 2 years, so when this is all over, I hope that we’ve normalized wearing masks or if possible staying home all together when sick. I never fully realized how preventable common colds and flus are.
Today and every day, it’s important to celebrate Black history and those who continue to make it. Join me as I connect with Minister @MarciIen and some incredible performers and organizations from Toronto Centre: https://t.co/bcFcqDmjPn
I don't know enough about the #UkraineRussiaConflict. I just that know war is always ugly and those who suffer the most are the vulnerable. I'll be listening to and learning from experts. It is important we do not amplify lies and disinformation. I stand with #Ukraine
