This is a love letter to Don Valley East.
As I begin my second term as your MPP, I want to reflect on the past and look to the future.
Getting to know you through challenges and triumphs has been the privilege of a lifetime—but there’s more to do.
Let’s get to work.

It is one of my most solemn duties to represent our community in remembering all those who have fought and died for our country.

As healthcare pressures grow and workers become an afterthought,
Ontarians aren’t getting the care they deserve.
Why does @fordnation only ever stand up for his friends and let down the rest of us?

Recently, trick-or-treating has felt like a ghost story of bygones past, because young families can’t live in homes that make neighbourhoods come alive on Halloween.
Let’s change that.
Let’s build communities that kids can live and play in.
Let’s bring Halloween back.

The truth about Ontario’s Ring of Fire ads
Why hasn’t development of the Ring of Fire started yet? Because the province doesn’t have the right to the land.

At the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation’s Fall Harvest, tradition came alive.
From winnowing wild rice to plucking porcupine quills, every act told a story. It was a powerful reminder that Indigenous culture and wisdom has so much to teach us.

Today we celebrate Persons Day - the 1929 legal victory that recognized Canadian women as “persons” under the law. Thanks to the Famous Five who led the charge, the way was paved for women to participate more fully in public and political life.

Nothing is stronger than a community united.

Last night, neighbours, families and leaders came together with @TPS33Div for a thoughtful discussion on crime and safety.
The message was clear: we will not be deterred - and together we are powerful.

Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year in the Jewish calendar. It is a time of fasting, prayer, and reflection, focused on forgiveness and renewal. To all who observe, I wish you a meaningful and peaceful day.

Today's Auditor General reports are a stunning portrait of contrasts:
Childcare and educators starved of funds in one report.
Nightclubs and bars flush with funds in another.
It's a funnel of taxpayer dollars betraying Ontario's future for Ford’s friends.

Truth is painful, but also transformative.
On #NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation, we reflect on the tragic history of residential schools and the wounds inflicted on Indigenous people in Canada.
May these truths compel us to walk a path of reconciliation, everyday.

Dreams don’t disappear because of a disability.
But for too many students, the barriers are immense.
Last night, I joined the Tamara Gordon Foundation’s 2025 Scholarship Award Ceremony to celebrate post-secondary students who refuse to let adversity define them.

Linda’s story is both unique and painfully familiar:
A woman with hopes and dreams, dashed by struggles with mental health and homelessness. She died alone in Don Mills.
She’s not alone anymore.
Today, we attended the 16th Annual Linda’s Walk so this can’t happen again.

I was lucky enough to meet him and am inspired by his warmth, humility, and lifelong dedication to public service.
My thoughts are with his family and all who mourn his loss.

Doug Ford is the biggest spending premier in Ontario history.
But for all of Doug’s spending, taxpayers aren’t getting any value. Only his friends are.
Cutting HST on new homes for all homebuyers would give Ontarians the value—and affordability—they’re looking for.
