Why do Ford’s PC candidates expect to get the job, when they won’t show up for the interview? It’s a shame that our democracy is such a pain in the ass for Doug. #onpoli

Supportive Housing of Waterloo has two housing projects ready to go, but they don't have funding. Not-for-profits need a provincial govt that will partner with them to build more homes. And that takes leadership. #OnPoli @maritstilesndp.bsky.social @ontariondp.bsky.social youtu.be/DRtWf0aVQbs?...

In 2023, 1,171 sexual assault cases were withdrawn/stayed before the trial date & that rose to 1,526 in 2024 due to court backlogs caused by the Ford govt. I met with Sara Casselman, Exec Dir, Sexual Assault Support Centre WR to discuss why Lydia's Law is important. #OnPoli youtu.be/xFl8ku1OXiI?...

Fighting for public health care in Ontario: After serving as the finance critic for the last three & a half years, I can tell you that money is directly being syphoned off to support for-profit private clinics, essentially cannibalising public health care. #OnPoli youtu.be/lAYKTL3IXzQ?...

Kaitlyn Roth was a young woman in Waterloo region who sought help, but there was a two-year wait list. I've been working with the Roth family to ensure that community-based mental health centres have the funding they need to help people like Kaitlyn. #OnPoli youtu.be/OKHaJvkDlLw?...

Arts & culture in ON contribute $27b annually to the economy & over a ¼ million jobs. Our vibrant arts scene & creative community make Waterloo a welcoming place to set up a business & home. Adequate & consistent funding is an investment in our collective well being. #OnPoli youtu.be/CLkZxc_ByfQ?...

From Mike Farwell in today's Record: "Local voters deserve to hear how a local candidate can articulate that message for their community. If the party doesn’t trust the local candidate to deliver the message properly, it should find a better local candidate."

The tariff threats are already destabilizing our economy. If Ford hadn’t called this self-serving election, the Ontario Legislature could be recalled to pass an emergency stimulus package to protect our workers & jobs. This emergency should Trump Ford’s electioneering #onpoli
