The May Court Club KW pays it forward and makes shopping cool! I met with Karen Falkenstern at the club's store in Belmont Village to learn more about annual Christmas Dreams fundraising campaign. Support them at www.maycourtclubofkw.org/christmas-dreams-34/. #SupportLocal

Last Spring I tabled my motion asking the Ontario Govt to establish a strategy to protect children from online harm and warn parents of the risks. They have yet to move. #onpoli www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/child-advocates-urge-government-to-bring-back-online-harms-legislation/

The government has forced through #Bill33 without public consultation or meaningful debate. While Ford has tried to silence the public, educators are here at Queen's Park in large numbers to make sure that their voices are heard. #onpoli #DemocracyNow

This situation keeps getting worse. Shame on the govt for betraying people who put their faith in them. What they got in return was many months of waiting in vain for a decision. Patience was rewarded with a callous email on Friday to tell them it was all for nothing. #onpoli

Yesterday, I presented the Stop Ford's Attack on Tenant Rights petition. On Sunday, I hosted a housing forum, inc the doc Thinking Beyond the Market. We'll never stabilize the economy without a strong housing strategy, which ON doesn't have. #onpoli @briandoucet.bsky.social @acornunion.bsky.social

Thanks to everyone who came to our free screening of the documentary "Thinking Beyond the Market" by Dr Brian Doucet. The panel discussion that followed left me feeling positive & optimistic about housing possibilities for the future. #onpoli

It was a pleasure meeting some of the passionate members of May Court Club KW at their consignment store in Belmont Village. These female leaders raise funds to serve & support women and children in need in our community. Thank you for caring and making a difference.

Last week, MPP Sol Mamakwa and I pressed the Ford government on why Ontario taxpayers will have to foot the bill for the legal fallout of their unconstitutional Bill 5. Ontarians shouldn’t pay for this government’s mistakes. #onpoli

FULLY BOOKED! This Sun Nov 16 at Princess Cinemas, I'll be hosting a FREE screening of the affordable housing doc "Thinking Beyond the Market", followed by a panel discussion. The topic is so popular that I booked a second theatre - and now that's filled, too! #onpoli @briandoucet.bsky.social

Across Ontario, more than 53,000 adults with developmental disabilities are currently on waitlists for essential supports & services. Thank you to KW Habilitation CEO Ann Bilodeau for sharing details of their great work at the community level, despite the chronic underfunding of this sector. #onpoli

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, our community paused for 2 minutes silence to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving their country. We will remember them. #LestWeForget #RemembranceDay

Thx to leadership at Cabinono (Marc, Derek, Tyler) for the tour & sharing your goal of 1 mil homes in the next 10 yrs. We need this kind of ambition on the housing front 👏👏Delivering missing middle housing at scale, on under-utilized land is key to bringing homes to communities. Sign me up! #onpoli

It was a pleasure meeting with Ontario Medical Association President Dr. Abdurrahman this morning to discuss family health teams, consistent professional training standards, and the OMA's response to views on last week's provincial Fall Economic Statement. #onpoli

Today, November 8, is #IndigenousVeteransDay. The beaded poppy is a symbol of respect for Indigenous Veterans that draws attention to the unique contributions and sacrifices of Indigenous, Métis and Inuit military service members.

Doug Ford is a Jobs Disaster.

Doug Ford’s latest budget update — the 2025 Fall Economic Statement — fails to deliver for working people.

The Skills Development Fund has been tainted & trust has been lost. Ford's Minister of Labour has been compromised. Our economy is at a standstill. We can't afford to waste the potential of the SDF by a Minister who has been compromised. Time for the Premier to fire him. #onpoli

Our democracy is worth fighting for. It does not end at the ballot box; it lives in open debate and public participation. We wear poppies to remember the fight for democracy, and they are also a reminder to stay vigilant and protect the privileges that came with great sacrifice. #onpoli

Ontario lost 38,000 jobs in the second quarter of 2025 & there are currently 700,000 people unemployed. The Skills Development Fund was supposed to help workers & businesses - it’s not the friends & family fund. #onpoli #JobsDisaster

#Bill60 will make more Ontarians homeless by taking away tenants' rights. Renters in Waterloo and across Ontario are fighting back, and I'm working with local agencies to protect them. Please join us. #onpoli www.catherinefife.com/stop_fords_attack
