Happy Flag Day!
Our flag embodies everything Canada stands for—its values, its opportunities, and the incredible possibilities it offers to all.
It’s a proud symbol of unity, embracing every person, faith, culture, and heritage while radiating peace, harmony, and hope.

Also recent FES showed the wage growth since 2019 those in the third and fourth quintile earned about 25% lower than the top 20%.

“If, as is now widely expected, Mr. Trudeau’s resignation is imminent, the only way forward is a real leadership race. ….. Competitions create better competitors. In politics, leadership campaigns make for better general election campaign teams. They train people, test ideas, build resilience.”

In light of recent developments and after the Ontario Liberal caucus meeting on December 21, I formally urged Brenda Shanahan, chair of the national Liberal caucus to convene an emergency caucus meeting.
I trust she will act promptly once the holiday season concludes.

Rents in Canada declined to a 15-month low in November. Average rents in Canada were 6.7% higher than two years ago 
Cumulative nominal wage growth in Canada over the last two years is approximately 10.25%.
Inflation is down to 2%. Interest rates have been cut to 3.25%. 
But we have more work to do.

Merry Christmas to all!

For Christians, it is a moment to honor the birth of Jesus Christ and reflect on his message of kindness, forgiveness, and faith. His story holds universal lessons that continue to inspire and bring comfort whenever they are shared.

Merry Christmas!

Longtime Trudeau loyalist Chandra Arya says it's time for the prime minister to step aside — and he believes the majority of Liberals in caucus feel the same way.
"There is no alternative but to have the leadership change now,"  Arya told CBC’s Rosemary Barton.

Was pleased to host National Housing Day in parliament.
Investing in affordable housing is not only a societal obligation but also makes a business case. For every dollar invested in affordable housings saves multiple tax payers dollars in social costs.
