All across Ontario municipalities large and small are facing many of the same challenges. I'm at ROMA today to learn how the healthcare shortage, housing crisis and lack of infrastructure funding is hitting rural communities hard. You deserve better from the provincial government.

Despite its opening flourish, Carney‘s speech, with its central call for collective defence and common institutions rather than national autonomy, was in fact a robust defence of, and call for, a rules-based international order.

The housing crisis is affecting every community in Ontario - today I learned how groups in St. Thomas are working hard on solutions. Grace Cafe and the Annex are fighting the homelessness and opioid crises with compassion by providing free meals and social services for mental health and addictions.

If you are upset, annoyed or angry with a Ford government policy as many Ontarians are, then take a few minutes to email your MPP and/or the Premier. You can find MPP email addresses here: www.ola.org/en/members/c... and you can email the Premier at: correspondence.premier.gov.on.ca/EN/feedback/...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Another year of record heat. Another year of delayed climate action. Every day, A hotter planet makes life more dangerous and more costly for Canadians. Let’s put an end to the record-breaking. Now that's a resolution

The terror attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was an abhorrent act of antisemitism. My thoughts are with the victims, their families and the Jewish community in Sydney and across the world as we reckon with this violent attack that claimed at least 16 lives and marred many others. 1/3

@mikeschreiner.bsky.social telling it like it is. The Ford regime doesn't govern in the public interest.

As the fall session wraps up, Elizabeth May breaks down the massive omnibus bills pushed through Parliament and Prime Minister Carney’s increasingly CEO-style approach to governing. Watch now:

The homelessness crisis is negatively affecting every corner of Ontario – the Ford government needs to step up and invest in building the deeply affordable homes we desperately need. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Take a look at how @mikeschreiner.bsky.social has been voting at Queen'S Park last week. @ontariogreens.bsky.social are acting on your behalf.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes? That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

The incompetence of the Ford PC government is incredible. 780 million pieces of personal protective equipment have been BURNED (not recycled) since 2020. A PC minister blames the previous Liberal government! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Last week at Queen's Park: Ford government attacks education, renters and communities. All while hosting a $1,500 per plate fundraiser for the Premier's birthday. open.substack.com/pub/mikeschr...

Today I voted NO to Bill 60 — a terrible piece of legislation that continues this government’s attack on tenants in the middle of a housing affordability crisis. 1/3

Fact check: No, U.S. oil tankers do not pass through the Hecate Strait. Elizabeth May shows exactly why the tanker ban exists, and why protecting it matters.

Collaboration when possible. Scrutiny when necessary. The stakes demand both. Elizabeth May makes clear that any move toward tankers on B.C.’s north coast would violate the commitments the Prime Minister made in the House this week—and we intend to hold him to them.

Bill 33 is an attack on public education. We know what would help students: smaller class sizes, more supports and better funding. Instead the Ford government is attacking teachers and trustees. We'll keep fighting back.

Ontario’s Bill 27 could allow for geologic carbon storage to reduce the emissions from industrial processes like power generation and steel production — but critics say it’s not a silver bullet. thenarwhal.ca/ontario-carb...

A smart decision by @elizabethemay.bsky.social to support the budget and get PM Carney in question period to commit to climate targets! Nobody wanted an election at this time so she put the interests of Canadians first.

Premier Ford continues to defend his Labour Minister, David Piccini, despite the Minister's interference in deciding where skills training funds were allocated. This continues the PC government's lack of open, transparent governance & favourtism to its friends. toronto.citynews.ca/2025/11/17/f...

The Doug Ford government is setting its sites on conservation authorities for the fifth time, merging the watershed protection agencies. Staff tell @fatimabsyed.bsky.social it may ‘slow approvals, create confusion’ — not to mention it's leaving them with ‘whiplash.’ thenarwhal.ca/ontario-cons...

Affordability fuelled by the housing crisis is the biggest challenge Ontario is facing—but you wouldn't know it from the Ford government's Fall Economic Statement.

Another example of the Ford PC government's incompetence!

Companies like Volt Carbon Technologies are proving that Ontario has what it takes to become a world leader in the green economy. I got to visit their facility here in Guelph, Solid UltraBattery Inc, to see how they're making cleaner and higher-quality graphite to be used in cutting-edge batteries.

Listen to @mikeschreiner.bsky.social comment on the PC government's Fall Economic Statement (FES). Besides failing on the economy, the FES also ends setting greenhouse gas emission targets & making plans to mitigate climate change. This is a total abdication of responsibility by the Ford government.

The Ford PC gov't. has no interest in mitigating climate change & dealing with the serious impacts that it is causing. It will no longer establish an emissions reduction target, prepare a climate plan & issue progress reports. A total denial of responsibility! toronto.citynews.ca/2025/11/06/o...

I’m catching up with votes from last week. On Thursday I voted against the government’s omnibus red tape Bill 56 because it weakens protections for clean drinking water, further weakens protections for endangered species, and removes speed cameras, which evidence shows save people’s lives. 3/3

Yesterday I voted in favour of the opposition day motion to have a buy Ontario procurement strategy. As a local food and farming advocate, I’ve spent my entire career pushing for a buy Ontario strategy, which is more important than ever with Trump attacking our economy. 1/3

The Ford regime's Fall Economic Statement includes a section that changes a law that means the province no longer has to set greenhouse gas emission reduction targets or prepare a climate change plan. This is a complete abdication of responsibility by the PC government. @ontariogreens.bsky.social

We're losing our farmland at an unprecedented rate in Ontario. Yesterday, Bobbi Ann Brady and I were in Halton Hills to talk to their city council about our bill to create a Foodbelt to protect our farmland. A huge thank you to the Halton Hills council for passing a motion to support our bill.

Haunted by high prices? 👻 So are we. Greed made life unaffordable. Greens are fighting to change that. #AffordableForAll

The Ford regime plans to raise the contribution limit to $5,000 from $3,400 (47%⬆️) The PCs know that this will help them far more than the opposition parties. It's more erosion of our democracy. Send an email to: correspondence.premier.gov.on.ca/EN/feedback/... globalnews.ca/news/1149664...

Spoiler for an upcoming piece. The GTA is increasingly a place Ontarians move from, rather than to, and that's not just a pre-pandemic-era thing. Yet Ontario municipal planning is based on the idea that the future will be like the present.

WATCH: Elizabeth May calls for Canada to end the threat of nuclear war by signing the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. It’s time to commit to peace and a safer world for all.

Extreme weather, wildfires and flood are our new normal, so how do we prepare instead of just react? @jeyantvo.bsky.social asks Anabela Bonada (Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation) about building climate resilience, tonight at 8pm on The Rundown | Producer: @mayaabramson.bsky.social

The Ford regime is increasing the contribution limit to $5K (a 47% increase) per person. It knows that will benefit it much more than the opposition parties. Money spent on a campaign usually co-relates to votes obtained. The PCs think it does. This new limit adds to influence to well off voters.

Canada not on track to meet 2030 climate targets, report finds

With First Nations communities facing climate disasters first, the Green Party of Canada knows emergency preparedness can’t come last. It’s time for real action.

Tell PM Carney to build a modern east-west electricity grid powered by low-cost renewable energy – wind, water, solar and storage – not nuclear. #cdnpoli #onpoli www.cleanairalliance.org/carney-wrong/

If this proposal becomes law, then it will be disastrous for renters in Ontario! The Ford regime prefers profits for landlords & developers over the needs of people who rent housing. @mikeschreiner.bsky.social @ontariogreens.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Ford said he won't fire Labour Minister Piccini for his blatant favourtism in awarding skills training $ as revealed by Ontario's Auditor-General. Queen’s Park publication The Trillium also reported Tuesday that groups who donated to the PC party received two-thirds of recent funding. Pathetic!

When questioned about so many PC donors receiving skills training funds Labour Minister Piccini said "Piccini said, “What I say is that we're supporting meaningful training opportunities.”. His unrepentant attitude is more reason for him to resign now! www.thetrillium.ca/news/the-tri...
