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.

My heart goes out to residents in Thorncliffe Park impacted by a fire that has displaced over 100 people.
Although the fire is under control, it is still burning. Thank you to first responders who are working so hard to address this complex scenario.

‘We do not have eyes on the fire’: More than 100 residents displaced as fire burns behind walls of Thorncliffe Park highrises
Toronto fire Chief Jim Jessop says it will be a "prolonged event" as crews battle the blaze smouldering in the insulation of the two buildings.

When Ministers take their oath, they earn the title Honourable.
It's not just a title - it's a promise, to act with honour.
The $2.5B Skills Development Fund has paid millions to low-scoring applicants with ties to the PC party.
Has @DavidPiccini acted honourably?

Dignity. Community. Affordability. Co-op housing delivers all these things, which is why Ontarians are clamouring for more. So am I.
It's great to work alongside @CHFCanada who are champions for more co-op housing across Ontario.

There aren't a lot of things that unite all MPPs - but coming together on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is one of them.
We must stand with survivors and commit to ending gender-based violence - in our words and our actions.

This is moments before I went into Question Period to vote against Bill 60.
It is mean-spirited legislation that ignores injustices facing tenants and the root causes of housing failures under @fordnation.
Although the bill passed, our resolve to fight it hasn’t.

Ever heard of a game where ordinary people have to settle for $200, while one person snatches all the property for homes and jacks up the rent?

One of those irregularities is now being investigated by the OPP.

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.
