I was glad to take part in councillor Hassan's fifth annual Santa Slices, helping make pizzas that are delivered to the incredible staff of Kingston organizations that serve those in need. This is a great initiative that I would love to see other communities do as well!

I’ve been reading letters from constituents sharing their experiences with food insecurity.
I’ll keep calling on the government to tackle the affordability crisis by doubling social assistance, building more affordable housing and supporting those at risk of food insecurity.

Yesterday, I met with Kimberly Compeau, the new director of Kingston Interval House. We discussed the shortage of affordable housing and the risks this has women and children fleeing violence, and their provincial funding that hasn’t kept up with inflation since 2017.

The horrible mass shooting in Australia targeting the Jewish community on the first day of Hanukkah should also remind us that antisemitism is here in Ontario and threatens all of us too.

December 3rd is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, a time to honour the disabled community & reflect on the work still needed to be done. Ontario promised full accessibility by 2025, yet barriers remain.
Today is a call to build an accessible Ontario for all.

A diploma in Ontario should open the door to a career. Youth aren't asking for shortcuts, just a fair shot.
That’s why @ontliberal.bsky.social proposed a $450 million Youth Career Fund: to rebuild the path from graduation to opportunity and ensure a generation isn't left waiting.

Dr. Ammar Rashid, a Pakistani immigrant, was recognized in 2022 for his work in improving access to family medicine in Kingston.
Ontario’s plan to restrict residency matching to international grads with two years of Ontario high school would shut out talent when we need it most.

Today, on #TransgenderDayofRemembrance, we recognize those who have been victims of transphobic hate and violence in Ontario.
The trans community continues to face barriers to acceptance, and this day reminds us to stand with them in their fight for respect, dignity, and inclusion.

This week, I met with the @ontariobeef.bsky.social to discuss a breeder loan guarantee modeled on the existing feeder program.
Thanks for explaining what a default would look like, and how the program has never required a payout for a default since it began in 1990.

Your energy bill jumped 30% last weekend. Doug Ford’s government is hiding it by hiking a $6.5B taxpayer subsidy.
It’s not cost savings, it's cost shifting—from your hydro bill to your income or sales tax. Ontario needs better economics, not better optics.
