Congratulations on your victory, @emmaharrisonptbo.bsky.social!

This why we can't trust the Liberals to deliver on their promises. They helped the Conservatives break the healthcare system. Vote Jen Deck in #Ptbo! 🍊👍

I missed the rally but these clips looks great! I'm not sure the other parties have this kind of energy around their campaigns. Here's hoping #Ptbo turns 🍊!

Exciting! I will do my best to be there to get Marit's autograph. 👍

Just saw this on Instagram first thing this morning—appreciate you sharing it so quickly. Jen Deck really stood out as a thoughtful, well-informed advocate who understands the issues that matter to our community.

Fantastic candidate! It would be a crying shame if we didn't elect someone like Jen Deck here in #Ptbo.

Go Jen, Go! 👍

First Friday Meet Up. 6 PM, The Only Cafe

Meet Jen Deck. Peterborough-Kawartha's candidate for the Ontario NDP.

Ontario NDP for Peterborough Kawartha.

Happy First Friday #Ptbo!

You're invited to join the local NDP crew at The Only Cafe at 6 PM and meet our amazing candidate, Jen Deck, over drinks and snacks. Afterwards, we'll break off into smaller groups to explore the First Friday Artcrawl. 🍊

Hey #PTBO, remember when I said less parking for apartment requires improving transit? Not approving your cycling master plan and not hiring more transit drivers is EXACTLY NOT THAT.

I keep updating this #ptbo starter pack as I discover fresh arrivals go.bsky.app/CCe9pzb

Ontario NDP Leader Announces Plan to End Encampments and Tackle Homelessness

After seven long years, Doug Ford’s legacy is encampments in every single town and city in our province. Seeing tents in parks is a stark reminder of how utterly Ford has failed Ontario – on housing, health care, creating good jobs, and making life more affordable. As Premier, I will end chronic homelessness and make encampments a thing of the past. We will take a housing-first approach, put a roof over people’s heads, and connect them with the supports they need.

✅ Build 60,000 supportive housing units: safe, permanent homes with wraparound supports like mental health care and addiction treatment. ✅ Upload shelter funding to the province: cities shouldn’t be left scrambling to fund shelters while Ford hoards money. ✅ Expand housing benefits: moving people out of shelters into homes, freeing up shelter space, and helping more Ontarians get back on their feet. ✅ Prevent homelessness before it happens: protect renters, stop illegal evictions, and double social assistance so more people can afford to stay in their homes.

As Premier, I will end chronic homelessness and make encampments a thing of the past.

We will take a housing-first approach, put a roof over people’s heads, and connect them with the supports they need.

Simultaneously glad and frustrated that I needed to be part of this. #ptbo #bikeptbo @cityptbo.bsky.social @joylachica.bsky.social @alexbierk.bsky.social

Thanks for the analysis @ptbodad.bsky.social !

Yesterday I hit the streets with a team of Peterborough Youth NDP volunteers who were out canvassing the Avenues alongside provincial candidate Jen Deck and Coun. Joy Lachica.

Doug Ford says one thing when he’s in front of the cameras, and another when he’s behind closed doors.

That’s who he has always been.

More data here. A high of 77 posts and a low of 10 posts per day hit the feed!

A chart that shows the Total Views and Scroll Paging for the #PTBO Bluesky feed. The blue line, Total Views, peaks at 650 views on February 4th, and the green line, Scroll Paging, peaks at 82 on February 4th.

As we already know, Peterborough-Nogojiwanong is a very engaged community. Here is some data from the #PTBO Bluesky feed that demonstrates how engaged we are.

However, it saddens me to see that outrage at the actions of our city council is what causes this chart to spike.

Great opportunity to learn about heat pumps and greener home heating (and cooling) from @ptbogreenup Feb 13

Our family went to a heat pump a couple of years ago and not only less Green House Gas emissions but cheaper too!

The council meeting last night broke me.

Until about halfway through the night, while things often happened around the horseshow I didn't like, I was able to keep some hope that council was 11 people trying their best and worth engaging with in good faith.

I was wrong. #ptbo

Huge success on the doors today despite the frigid weather. The working class neighbourhoods in Lansdowne St near the mem centre and the streets near Del Crary are now solid orange with signs and supporters 🍊

Message us to request one and show Doug Ford the working class in #PTBO wants change!

You can cast your ballot right now! No need to wait in line on election day. Just go to the returning office in Peterborough Square downtown whenever you’re free. Vote Jen Deck for #PTBO - Kawartha!

Might be time to reconsider the trains we are purchasing from US factories. Thats an easy one to bring back to Canada.

It’s official: Doug Ford quit on Ontario today. So I’m here to apply for his job.

In the next few weeks, we can turn the page on seven long years of failure, corruption, and bad deals.

You deserve a better government. With your support, I’ll be a Premier that’s on your side.

Even within Ontario, Kitchener/Waterloo is much better at this than Toronto. Heck, even a few small towns seem to be willing to try things.
