My commitment has always been to fight for the needs of our community, and if re-elected, I will continue working to deliver real solutions for Ottawa West-Nepean. #onpoli #ottawa ottawacitizen.com/opinion/pasm...

Doug Ford's underfunding of public services is forcing devestating cuts that hurt families, students, and workers across Ontario. Ontario needs a government that is on your side. Let's demand better. #onpoli

Public health care is our legacy and we’re gonna fix it🍊 Learn more about our plan to connect every Ontarian with a family doctor: OntarioNDP.ca/family-doctors #ONyourside #ONpoli

Ottawa, what a turnout! Together, we can turn page on Ford’s Conservatives and elect an NDP government that’s on your side.

It’s time to invest in our kids’ schools, hire more caring adults to help them learn, and launch a universal School Food Program to make sure no child goes to school hungry.

When we invest in our kids’ schools, we strengthen our communities, province, and our economy for generations to come.  As Premier I will fix our schools, hire more caring adults to help kids learn, and launch a universal School Food Program to make sure no child has to learn on an empty stomach.

Ontario’s New Democrats have a plan to fix schools, hire staff, feed kids, and make sure every single student has the tools they need to succeed. Support the plan: OntarioNDP.ca/education

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.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honour the contributions of Black Canadians—past and present—who have shaped Ontario’s rich and diverse culture. The ONDP stands in solidarity with Black communities in the fight for justice, equity, and a future where everyone can thrive. #BHM

It was so great to see so many new and familiar faces last night. Thank you all for your kind donations, support and signing up to volunteer for this campaign. It’s going to take all of us to keep Ottawa West—Nepean orange. 🍊 Volunteer Today volunteer.ontariondp.ca/OWN/

Our hardworking Team Pasma Sign Crew is back at it. They’ve been up all night planting some of the requests we've received from the community. We are absolutely delighted with the response from everyone. 🍊 Want YOUR own campaign sign? chandrapasma.ontariondp.ca/request-sign

Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the horrors of the Holocaust and commemorate the millions of lives lost. It also serves as a reminder that we must fight hate in all it's forms. Never again.

Thank you to OPSBA and ACEPO for welcoming me to your conferences last week. Ford's cuts put our public education system in jeopardy. It’s time for a government that will invest in education and work in partnership to ensure every child receives the highest quality education

The govt continues to dodge scrutiny of their appointments. This week, they took advantage of the House not sitting to appoint 8 donors, a former candidate, & former staffers to Stephen Harper, Mike Harris, & a PC cabinet minister. Rewarding insiders with jobs on the public dime.

The Ontario Autism Coalition surveyed parents of children with disabilities & special needs & the data is clear: these children are not receiving the safe, supported, meaningful education they deserve. It's time for a govt that will support & include all children. www.facebook.com/ChandraPasma...

Doug Ford’s cuts to education mean larger class sizes, mental health challenges going unaddressed, and schools using buckets to fix leaky roofs. Why doesn’t Doug Ford think our students deserve safe schools and a quality education? www.facebook.com/ChandraPasma...

With many reports of abuse, discrimination, and neglect at Ontario’s Provincial Schools, including two successful class action lawsuits, we need an investigation. If Jill Dunlop won’t call one, I hope the Auditor General will step in and review them. thepointer.com/article/2025...

Thank you cards ready to go out to recent donors. Did you know that the Ontario NDP has more donors than the Conservatives and Liberals combined? We are truly a grassroots movement. Thanks to everyone who is helping us build towards victory in Ottawa West-Nepean. Your support is essential! 🧡✊

Our education system is in crisis thanks to Doug Ford’s cuts, then the government turns around and blames teachers and education workers for burning out and getting injured on the job. It’s time to show some respect and start funding the system properly. #onted www.facebook.com/ChandraPasma...

Under Ford, hospitals are racking up millions of dollars in debt just to keep the doors open. We’re already seeing regular ER closures. This is unsustainable. The Ford govt needs to properly fund hospitals so that they can provide care that Ontarians need. #onpoli www.facebook.com/ChandraPasma...

While HCRA & Tarion have been paying executives $6 million a year, HCRA has taken no action in response to a complaint my constituents filed 3.5 years ago about homes they paid for in 2018 still not built. Why isn't the Ford govt taking action to protect homebuyers? www.facebook.com/ChandraPasma...

I joined ACORN Ottawa today for a rally at City Hall, calling on Ottawa City Council to adopt an anti-renoviction by-law. In the absence of any action at all from the Ford government to protect renters, we need the City to step in and fill the gap.

Our education system is in a crisis. As @Karenosstf says, we are putting band-aids on the band-aids and asking parents to donate the band-aids. We can’t continue down this path. Our kids deserve better. #onted #onpoli x.com/ChandraPasma...

The need is so high that the Ottawa Food Bank is having to cut the amount of food they provide to local food banks by 20-50% this year. This is Doug Ford's Ontario. Where even people working full-time have to use a food bank & food banks are implementing cuts. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Last, but not least, on our deep dive into the Auditor General’s report on the TDSB: capital funding and the school repair backlog, which the Ford government has been so anxious to hide. 1/11 #onpoli #onted bsky.app/profile/chan...

Yesterday, I asked Algonquin College president Claude Brule about the economic impact of the govt not supporting our post-secondary institutions and our economy. Ontario is providing $6500 less per student in grants and tuition than the Canadian average. #onpoli x.com/ChandraPasma...

The Finance Committee heard loud and clear yesterday that our health care system is under pressure on all fronts. Will the Ford government listen and make sure that doctors and hospital care are available when you need them? ottawacitizen.com/news/local-n...

The Queensway Carleton Hospital is bursting at the seams, adding to longer wait times & leaving patients in hallways. The QCH serves as many patients as the Ottawa Hospital but with only half as many beds. We need the government to invest in right-sizing the QCH. #onpoli x.com/ChandraPasma...
