Thoughts for this Tuesday.
"True leadership is revealed in the choices we make when no one is watching, hypocrisy thrives when our words wear masks our actions refuse to wear."

Not too long ago people had lots to say about the underfunding of our education system. Seems that's easily forgotten. While we worry about tariffs and the 51st state. Teachers and students remain struggling. 👀

True commitment to principles is tested in tough moments. Integrity means standing by your values, even when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable or costly.

This journey has been nothing short of a success. While not in #'s. Running in this election was about being bold, taking risks, & embracing the lessons that come with every challenge. I will continue to challenge status quo. Systems seldom change when they stay the same.

We have released our plan. I do not want to see Kitchener Centre continuing to not get the investment it deserves. The community can't afford this, our province can't afford this.

Two way all day GO was a promise by the liberal government until Ford came along.
I've been hearing these conversations for years. This is nothing new. The liberals would have it done like the investment in ION stage 1.

I'm doing this for the community, for the generations to come, and for the ancestors who knew brighter days were possible. Hope is always worth holding onto.

Don’t let others dictate your path. If you have a goal, chase it and take the risks needed to grow. I’m here today because I didn’t listen to “wait” or “stay put.”
Believe in yourself. 2025 the year of growth!
