I visited Creative Beginnings in Waterloo, a brand new centre giving kids an incredible start and giving parents the peace of mind they deserve. But 70,000 families across Ontario are still waiting for a space that doesn't exist.

Chances are, you’re paying too much for groceries. 💸 Let’s take a look at why— and why it doesn’t have to be this way. Watch to the end for just one of the ways the Ontario NDP will rein in these outrageous prices.

Congratulations to all of our Canadian athletes competing in the 2026 Olympics. Which is your favourite sport?

“Repeal Bill 33” in song by the talented Kimiko Shibata

Here are some actions from the @OntarioNDP that you can take to speak up about Bill 33: www.ontariondp.ca/bill33

A 4th term will be the last nail in the coffin for publicly funded education and healthcare. Calling all educators, education workers, physicians, nurses, and healthcare workers to mobilize NOW. Contact your local Ontario NDP riding association and find out how to get involved.

This Ontario 👇👇💪!!! We need our high quality public education system to be funded properly! The learning environment of our students depends upon it...desperately!

As Black History Month begins, we honour the generations of Black Ontarians who built this province into the diverse, vibrant place we call home.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! What is your organization doing this month to learn, reflect, and celebrate #BlackBrilliance? We want to share your events!!

Here's a song I wrote tonight to work through my frustration with how Doug Ford and Paul Calandra are intentionally starving public schools of funds and then using the resulting deficit budgets as an excuse to take over school boards. #OntEd #RepealBill33

Alex Pretti was a hero. He was a friend, a son, and a frontline nurse who showed up everyday to serve and heal some of the most vulnerable people. He, like so many frontline healthcare workers, had answered a higher calling with his work.

Healthcare workers at SEIU told me yesterday: “We got into this job to help people.” They also told me they’re burning out. Patient volumes are exploding. The system is breaking under Doug Ford’s cuts—and yesterday we learned Ford is planning to cut 10,000 more healthcare workers.

It's even worse than we thought. "...Loblaws, Sobeys and Metro — are using property law to control how other grocery stores, dollar stores, pharmacies and gas stations can compete with them, an investigation by CBC’s Marketplace has found." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The Conservatives have failed to address the housing crisis. We need to get the government back to building affordable housing. We need rent control and protections for tenants. We need an Ontario NDP government.

Canada can’t afford international trade decisions that leave workers paying the price. Decisions that affect jobs, supply chains, and our industrial future must be grounded in fairness, accountability, and long-term economic resilience. Our statement: canadianlabour.ca/statement-on...

People across Ontario know something's broken in how our government is run. The question is: who's actually listening?   This summer, Marit Stiles traveled to 40 ridings, hearing from workers, families, and communities about what needs to change. (1/2)

If fighting for Ontario auto workers wasn't important enough for Doug Ford to go to Beijing, what was? Scott Moe flew to China for Saskatchewan canola. Doug Ford stayed home while Mark Carney negotiated our auto sector's future – with no one at the table negotiating for Ontario workers.

Next week, we're discussing what the retirement security crisis is about, and why we’re still facing it 10 years after the CPP enhancement. In-house expert on pensions and retirement security, Chris Roberts, is ready to answer all your questions! RSVP: canadianlabour.ca/new-webinar-...

In the middle of a housing crisis, people in Waterloo are being renovicted at record levels. In 2025, my office navigated as many housing cases as in the previous 12 years. Read my op ed on why the City of Waterloo needs a Renoviction Ban Bylaw. #onpoli

We need to be investing in Ontario's future and that includes investing in our post-secondary sector before it's too late. Algonquin's 37 program closures and the loss of the Perth campus are a small preview of what's coming if cuts to the sector continue. #onpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
