Great to be back in the old part of Don Valley East, which I represented before 2018 and is now Don Valley North, with my friend and the next MPP for the area, @jontsao @OntLiberal #onpoli

Went out canvassing for Andrea Hazell in Scarborough-Guildwood! She’s got a fantastic team working hard to connect with voters. If you can, come out and help—every conversation counts! #TeamHazel #ScarboroughGuildwood #OnPoli @AndreaHazelll

This weekend I stopped by the CML Village BIA launch and joined the community in celebrating this exciting new chapter.

Great to see so many people enjoying the Winter ZOO Festival and illuminated ice sculptures. Looking forward to seeing this BIA grow and support local businesses!

Another fantastic canvas with our @OntLiberal candidate in #DVE @ShamjiAdil. The message at the door was clear. People want a government focused on fixing our healthcare system, and ensuring that everyone has access to a family doctor. #onpoli

“Pierre Poilievre’s so-called ‘common sense’ plan borrows straight from Mike Harris, who slashed health care, education, and essential services. Canadians, don’t fall for his tricks—cuts hurt our communities most. #PierrePoilievre #CutsHaveConsequences #Cdnpoli”

Polarization and misinformation are tearing at the fabric of Canada’s democracy. The Conservatives are stoking division and spreading falsehoods, prioritizing politics over people. Canadians deserve leaders who unite, not divide. #CdnPoli #Democracy

Mike Harris’s cuts to social services, housing, and healthcare pushed Ontario’s most vulnerable deeper into crisis. Pierre Poilievre is singing the same tune: tax cuts for the rich, austerity for the rest. We can’t afford another era of cruel, short-sighted policies. #cdnpoli

Pierre Poilievre’s playbook feels eerily familiar: tax cuts for the wealthy, slashing public services, and a ‘common sense’ branding. Looks like he’s channeling Mike Harris’s divisive and damaging legacy. We’ve seen this movie before, and we know how it ends. #cdnpoli

While knocking on doors this weekend, I heard one clear message: people value programs and services that invest in them and their loved ones. They do NOT support Conservative cuts that undermine progress. Together, let’s keep building a stronger, more caring nation. 💪 #cdnpoli

75% of Canadians support the CBC, and most consider it one of the most trusted media outlets. Yet, Conservatives are proposing to dismantle a national broadcaster they originally created in 1936.

Despite the snow, cold, and slippery conditions, the warmth and enthusiasm of the people in Scarborough-Woburn made knocking on doors today a fantastic experience. Thank you to the amazing volunteers who braved the weather to connect with residents and talk about Canada’s future. @liberal_party

Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith 🇨🇦 -
Hard to understand why Poilievre is so dismissive of a #TeamCanada response to President Trump.
Anyone (Pierre Poilievre) that thinks a Team Canada approach is just a photo-op shouldn't be the leader of Team Canada. #cdnpoli #peipoli

Doug Ford is wasting $2.2 billion of your money to build a private spa nobody wants while destroying the Science Centre that everyone valued. The Minister of Infrastructure should resign and the Ford government needs to be replaced. #cdnpoli #peipoli

Opinion: Poilievre fumbles the Trump crisis: a missed opportunity to show himself as a prime minister-in-waiting In the wake of the U.S. tariff threat, the Conservative Leader has looked jittery, uncertain and off-key

Trudeau warns Poilievre against amplifying 'erroneous narratives' about Canada-U.S. border In a meeting with opposition leaders Trudeau warned the Tory over amplifying "erroneous narratives" he says Americans have about the border

Less than 1% of irregular migrants entering the U.S. come from Canada, and only 0.02% of fentanyl entering the U.S. originates here. Spreading false narratives isn’t leadership—it’s fearmongering. Let’s focus on facts, not fiction. #cdnpoli

Edward Keenan: How the auditor’s report perfectly sums up The Doug Ford Way of running the province The Doug Ford government’s willingness to admit a mistake has never caused them to pause and think before steamrolling forward into the next big blunder.

There's a phrase in provincial auditor general Shelley Spence's report that could, by now, serve as a slogan for Doug Ford's government: "Without proper planning."

Ford government’s Ontario Place redevelopment was ‘not fair, transparent or accountable,’ auditor general finds in scathing report Ford's decision to close supervised drug consumption sites near schools and daycares was made "without proper planning," the AG said.

Costs to taxpayers have soared because Premier Doug Ford's controversial Ontario Place redevelopment scheme was "not fair, transparent or accountable"

Doug Ford and the Conservatives have failed Ontario's healthcare system. After six years in power, they've broken records for ER closures. Ontarians deserve leadership that prioritizes healthcare! #onpoli

The Ontario Ford government is generating longer waitlists #NotOnTimeNotOnBudget

Over 50,000 vulnerable kids are STILL waiting for access to core autism services via the Ontario Autism Program. It’s been over 6 years. Tick tock.
