Yesterday, I stopped by the Alto open house in South Frontenac to talk to attendees about their thoughts and concerns with the high-speed rail project. The event had a significant turnout, and it was encouraging seeing Alto staff engaging with community members.

The Information and Privacy Commissioner has said fax machines are a major source of health-care data breaches, and in the past, I've had other people's hospital records faxed to my home phone.
I would love to get rid of faxes in the health care system!

Today marks nine years since the deadly hate crime at a Quebec City mosque, and the Day of Action Against Islamophobia.
We must continue to stand against hate and work to build safer, more inclusive communities for everyone.
Yesterday, I toured Reid's Dairy's main processing facility with owner Steve, and Dave, who oversees operations. We got to talk about the challenges they face, their innovative work, and commitment to buying Canadian.
Thanks for welcoming me and showing me around!
At the #ROMA2026 conference municipal leaders told me their communities are being forced to make tough choices because of poor provincial support. During my speech to delegates, I was clear: small communities, like Wolfe Island, are paying the price for a government that only focuses big cities.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honour and remember the victims of the Holocaust and stand with its survivors. Today is a time to reflect on our shared responsibility to confront antisemitism, support our Jewish communities, and challenge hatred in all its forms.

Earlier this week, I attended the #ROMA2026 conference to meet with delegates and stakeholders, including the @ontariofarms.bsky.social, to talk about what the province could be doing to help them succeed.

Too often, rural Ontario is taken for granted and sidelined at Queen's Park. At the Rural Ontario Municipal Association conference, I addressed delegates and let them know that I see their value, and I won't let them be forgotten.

Last week, I attended the Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus which brought many officials to Kingston.
It was great to chat with representatives from across Eastern Ontario about the shared and unique needs of our municipalities!

Thank you @tedhsu.bsky.social - You always put things just right. @ontarioliberal.bsky.social #onpoli
Our next leader must be someone ..with a vision...who can inspire Ontarians...and earn trust. It can’t be determined...by friendship circles or...supporters.

Several new provincial laws took effect on January 1. Notably, changes to the Employment Standards Act now require public job postings to include salary ranges and disclose whether AI was used to screen applications.

Earlier this month, I attended the Building Science Association of Ontario conference in Toronto to learn about cutting-edge building technologies. Innovation and efficiency are key to reducing building costs, and it’s great to see Ontario companies leading the way.

I was glad to take part in councillor Hassan's fifth annual Santa Slices, helping make pizzas that are delivered to the incredible staff of Kingston organizations that serve those in need. This is a great initiative that I would love to see other communities do as well!

I’ve been reading letters from constituents sharing their experiences with food insecurity.
I’ll keep calling on the government to tackle the affordability crisis by doubling social assistance, building more affordable housing and supporting those at risk of food insecurity.
Yesterday, I met with Kimberly Compeau, the new director of Kingston Interval House. We discussed the shortage of affordable housing and the risks this has women and children fleeing violence, and their provincial funding that hasn’t kept up with inflation since 2017.

I was happy to lend a hand serving at the annual Salvation Army Christmas Dinner. Thanks to the hard work of well-organized volunteers, an incredible number of turkey dinners were served while live Christmas music played!

Congratulations, Rowan, on the well-deserved award!

The horrible mass shooting in Australia targeting the Jewish community on the first day of Hanukkah should also remind us that antisemitism is here in Ontario and threatens all of us too.
