Thank you to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture for visiting Queen’s Park today & for your support of our Right to Repair legislation. @OntarioFarms #onpoli
I am co-sponsoring the Right to Repair bill because farmers need to be able to access technical information and parts for their equipment. They need to be able to repair their equipment quickly sometimes and this legislation will help them do that. #OnPoli #agriculture
Great meeting with a true supporter of french language public education @john_vanthof Thank you for your help and support to make French pubic education in Ontario one of your priorities.
It's always a pleasure to connect with @john_vanthof to discuss emerging issues and priorities impacting Ontario farm businesses. It was great to learn more about his Private Member’s Bill on Right to Repair. Thank you for meeting with #teamOFA. #OFAatQP #ontag #FarmsFoodForever

This government is patting itself on the back as they get creative trying to justify why they’re nowhere NEAR the goal of building 1.5 million homes by 2031. People don’t need padded housing numbers. They need a place to live. #ONpoli thestar.com/politics/provi…
Wilmot farmers brought their land assembly/expropriation concerns to Queen’s Park today. I admire their commitment to finding solutions and calls for transparency. Thanks to our Agriculture & Environment Critic @john_vanthof & @shaw_sandy for taking the time to listen #onpoli
On Wednesday April 10, MPPs at Queen’s Park will debate the @OntarioNDP’s Intimate Partner Violence Epidemic Act, which calls on the Ford government to officially recognize Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) as the deadly epidemic it is. 🧵
2.3 millions Ontarians without a family doctor rely on hospital ER for access to care. Now ER are closed and not available. This is a crisis brought to us by the Ford government determination to let rich corporations make money off the back of sick people. #SavePublicHealthCare

Government is also paying more for surgeries at private clinics. Cataract surgery costs avg $500 at public hospital vs. $1,200 at clinic.
Blaming Ministry Officials for this Service Ontario fiasco is cowardly. This backroom deal was never about improving services or saving money. #onpoli
“By the way the officials dealt with this, none of us dealt with this” The Premier now tells me when asked about ServiceOntario questions. It’s the first time we’ve seen the government try and put distance between it and the story. Seemingly putting blame on ministry officials.
You must know you're doing something unpopular if you have to muzzle small business owners most affected by your bad policy decisions. #ONpoli
NEW - Privately run ServiceOntario outlets, like the 11 that are being shut down, are being told by the government not to speak to the media. This letter to them from the ministry obtained by CityNews advises to “Politely decline to answer the reporter's/journalist's questions”

The @OntarioNDP Official Opposition is calling on the province to provide stable funding for municipalities. They need a reliable partner so they can properly plan for and invest in infrastructure and the delivery of services.
The Ford government is facing new Greenbelt questions after an internal email — obtained by the Ontario NDP — suggests that staff in the premier’s office were intimately aware of the plans to open land for housing development. globalnews.ca/news/10241644/… #Onpoli
We've uncovered additional evidence that suggests Mr. Ford's office knew about the Greenbelt land swap details earlier than they claimed under oath. They want this corruption scandal to go away, but they can't hide from what they've done. #ONpoli thestar.com/politics/provi…
