On the last day of school, the Minister of Education placed four more school boards under supervision β€” including the Toronto District School Board (TDSB). The Trustees you elected to represent our schools and community concerns have now been restricted. RSVP at kristyn.ca/education-townhall #ONpoli

In Thunder Bay, I met with forestry workers,First Nations leaders,and local champions fighting to protect jobs,land,and community.

Every story I heard underscored one thing:People want to be part of the solution but they need leaders who are all in for their communities. That’s what I’m here to do.

We convened a roundtable in Ottawa with health care leaders from across the system β€” community health centres, unions, and hospital staff.

Together, we discussed what it will take to protect publicly funded, publicly delivered healthcare, and strengthen it for the future.

I'm bringing Dresden’s story to communities across the provinceβ€”because if the Ford government can silence voices here with Bill 5, they can do it anywhere.

All in for Dresden. All in to Kill Bill 5.

By taking over school boards, the Ford gov't is shutting parents and communities out of decisions that impact their kids’ futures.

Today, I stood with teaching unions, trustees, and parents β€” united in one clear message: our schools need real investment, not more power grabs and political games.

I was a school board trustee β€” even then, it was frustrating with the province controlling the purse strings. Now the Ford gov't is cutting parents out, taking over boards, and silencing local voices.

The people did not give this premier a mandate to suspend all laws or to toss out their constitutional laws.

But that's what Bill 5 does.

Bill 5 is a mess. It's not how we do things in Canada. The Ford government tried to disguise it as a bill about mines and the Northβ€”but Ontarians see right through it. Plain and simple: Bill 5 is a power grab.

It's time to scrap it.

Education can’t wait. Better schools lead to stronger communities.

As New Democrats, and as the Official Opposition, we’ll fight every single dayβ€”for our kids, for their future, and for the educators who help them get there.

Trump-style tactics don’t belong in Ontario.

Scrap Bill 5. Go back to the drawing board. Do it right.

As Trump’s reckless new tariffs threaten our auto sector and thousands of workers, we are ready to stand united to fight back with retaliatory tariffs. We won’t back down. I'll be reaching out to Premier Ford to again offer the Opposition's full support to protect workers & jobs in the auto sector.
