The compassion and care with which you live your life is inspiring.

Even Conservatives I met this weekend while boothing at a Fall Fair don’t like Doug Ford, and their local Conservative MP even less.

So many things could have been done with that corn had it been allowed to mature instead of just wasting it.

Should back-to-school require parent fundraising? Ontario schools are woefully underfunded, and families pay the price Ontario educators in a recent study discuss how underfunding affects day-to-day schooling, and places a burden on families for fees and fundraising.

Our public schools are some of the least funded in Ontario. Should it be on schools to fundraise to cover this shortfall? I don’t think so.

I have to laugh or I’ll cry.

Inequality doesn't just threaten our economy. It threatens the stability of our society and our democracies.

We're hearing a lot about how we need to support industry in these trying times. Why isn't the agribusiness getting the same support?

A healthy country is good for the economy, yet we keep taking away from our healthcare system.

When governments look out for their rich friends, no one wins.

I am! It’s why I decided to run in the Ontario provincial elections because I think it should be different.

Friday fact: Maple Leaf Foods didn't leave Waterloo Region because they wanted an industrial mega-site. Regional reps keep saying this, but it's not true.

It only required 50 acres. There wasn’t enough water for their needs.

Thank you for doing the hard thing and for caring about our kids! ❤️

27 years of partnership.

I was lucky to have such a strong partner who helped while I ran for office. Someone who supported me, kept me fed, looked after everything at home and put up so many signs.

Happy anniversary, Stephen!

We have so many amazing women in this community. So proud of Marjorie Knight - her dedication to Community Service is inspiring!
Congratulations on 50 years KW Oktoberfest Women of the Year!

A 'really cool giant Lego box' — What prefabricated homes could do for Canada's housing shortage | CBC Radio Prefabricated homes are one of the options experts say could help improve Canada's housing inventory. During the election campaign, Mark Carney and the now-elected Liberal Party promised about $25…
