Joyeuse Halloween ! J’espère que tout le monde passera une soirée amusante et un peu effrayante. N’oubliez pas de rester prudents, de faire attention aux enfants qui passent l’Halloween et de redoubler de vigilance en traversant les rues. #ygk
Happy Halloween! I'm wishing everyone a fun and spooky evening that I hope is made extra special with a World Series win! Remember to stay safe, watch for trick-or-treaters, and be cautious when crossing the streets.

I also talked to Ford last week about his remark that we didn't make the aluminum sheet for cans in Canada, and if he knew that Novellis was the only significant cold rolling mill, that they are starting a line for cans, & that financing was an issue. He let me know that they were talking with them.
Here’s a brief update from the first two weeks back in the Legislature and some of the work I’ve been doing!

Talent shouldn't pay a toll. When businesses in Kingston and the Islands follow the rules, they should trust that SDF funding will be awarded on merit.

No applicant should have to bribe their way in, or fear a blacklist for challenging an unfair system.

It’s #SmallBusinessWeek in Ontario! #Kingston is home to so many incredible locally owned businesses. It’s been a tough year for many businesses, so take this week to show your support by shopping local.

You can also call, email, or visit my office to request a sign!
I had a great meeting with the Dairy Farmers of Ontario at Queen's Park. I had the opportunity to talk to them about infrastructure upgrades at dairy processing facilities and other things that they need to succeed to continue to provide world-class products right here at home.

Today I wrote to the Auditor General again, requesting an audit into the major delays and possible cost overruns on the new ferry dock project.

With the Kingston dock now slated for 2027, I'd like to understand why this project is so severely delayed.
This month marks #IslamicHistoryMonth, giving us an opportunity to celebrate the many contributions Muslim communities have made in Kingston and across Ontario. It’s also a reminder to stand against Islamophobia and continue building inclusive spaces where everyone belongs.

After hearing from ferry passengers about the need for easier access to updates, the messaging signs at Dawson Point & Marysville can now be viewed on the Ontario 511 live feed.

When construction is complete on the Kingston side, the same will be available there.

More Ontario jobs are being lost to the US, and yet, Ford's Conservative's continue to pose in front of their 'Protect Ontario' signs. I don't see that plan at work, do you?

Thank you for the welcome at Sukkah in the Square last week! The Sukkah is a temporary dwelling for the week-long Jewish celebration of Sukkot. This year it was decorated with paintings by Hadassah-Danit O'Reilly.

My Constituency Office will be closed for the #Thanksgiving long weekend on Monday, October 13th.

The office will reopen on Tuesday, October 14th.
October is #WomensHistoryMonth in Canada, rooted in the legacy of the Persons Case. On Oct 18, 1929, the Famous Five won recognition for women as “persons.” Their courage continues to inspire generations working toward equality and a more fair future.
Today marks the start of Ontario Agriculture Week! Take this time to celebrate local farmers and enjoy the best of Ontario’s seasonal produce.

On Sunday, I joined volunteers to collect cigarette butts, coffee cups, lids, and snack wrappers from the Lake Ontario shoreline. If left behind, these items break down into microplastics that end up in our water and our bodies.

Let's all do our part to keep our outdoors clean!

On Saturday, Breast Cancer Action Kingston held their 32nd Annual Walk for Awareness. I was happy to take part and show my support for their cause and their continued advocacy in the community!

I was glad to join the Annual General Meeting of the Frontenac Federation of Agriculture, enjoy a turkey dinner, and hear directly from local area farmers about their farms and the issues affecting them.

To those celebrating #Navratri all week and until October 2, may these nine nights of devotion bring peace, strength, and joy to your lives! #ygk
The Constituency Office will be closed on Tuesday, September 30, in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The office will reopen on Wednesday, October 1.

I was glad to spend a few minutes speaking with Seniors for Climate Action Now about the importance of tackling climate change while there’s still time, and ensuring the issue isn't left on the back-burner. #ygk #KingstonandtheIslands
Ontario is the only province seeing fewer housing starts than last year. Cutting the 8% HST, as @ontarioliberal.bsky.social are urging Doug Ford to do, could mean up to 45,000 new homes and thousands of good-paying jobs.

This is an easy way to jumpstart home building and drive economic activity.
College support staff are on strike over poor working conditions, disrupting student learning and campus services.

Doug Ford has delayed our return to Queen’s Park until Oct 20, but I’m ready to push for better support for St. Lawrence College staff and students.
