Young people in Ontario are already stretched thin  and Doug Ford is making it worse.   He’s lifting the tuition freeze and cutting OSAP grants, forcing students to borrow more just to finish school.   You can’t build a strong economy on a generation buried in debt.

Today, we're launching a campaign to push back hard on Doug Ford's OSAP cuts.    Join us. Take an action. SaveOSAP.ca.   More to come.

Education should set you up for success, not a lifetime debt sentence.  It’s time to end Doug Ford’s vicious cycle of cuts and save OSAP.

Health care workers show up every day for patients, for families, for Ontarians. They deserve a government that shows up for them too.

Today was supposed to be the first day back at Queen’s Park. Instead, Doug Ford chose to delay it. But while he hits pause, nurses can’t. (1/3)

I am devastated by the horrific shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C. My deepest condolences to the families and everyone affected by this unimaginable tragedy. Ontario grieves with British Columbia tonight.

Doug Ford is a jobs disaster. Tens of thousands of workers have been handed pink slips while they wait for the Premier to finally come up with a jobs plan. If Ford won't do that, then the least he can do is demand that the Prime Minister stop taxing laid off workers' severance pay.

A resilient economy requires good jobs. Union jobs that train workers, pay well, and build careers.   I visited Insulators Local 95’s training centre - 80 years of certified training, apprenticeships that work, and workers who build Ontario’s infrastructure every day. (1/2)

Protecting jobs. Better, faster healthcare. A more affordable life. We will always fight for you, the good people of Ontario. 💪

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.

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.

It's time the government got serious about building affordable homes. I was at the Village Soho in London. It’s the first project of its kind in Canada. Multiple non-profit developers came together to build affordable housing that actually works for people.

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

Public healthcare is our competitive advantage and our social contract. It’s the promise we make as Canadians that we will take care of one another no matter what. Keeping our healthcare public is non-negotiable. So is better access and better care.

BREAKING: General Motors is bending the knee to Donald Trump by announcing massive layoffs in Oshawa. GM made $10 billion in North American profits last year. Built on the backs of Oshawa’s auto workers. They took hundreds of millions in subsidies from Ontario taxpayers. (1/2)

On January 29, we recognize the National Day of Remembrance of the Quebec City Mosque Attack and Action Against Islamophobia. We honour the lives lost, those who courageously protected others, and the survivors of this devastating attack. (1/2)

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.

A new report from Ontario's largest healthcare union shows Doug Ford is planning cuts that will eliminate over 10,000 healthcare workers from hospitals. 10,000 nurses, PSWs, and frontline staff – gone.

Ontario's youth are ready.   Ready to learn. Ready to work. Ready to build.   Let's invest in their future.   Let's get building. 🦺🏗️

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.

This morning I joined the Ontario Health coalition to talk about what’s at stake for public health care in Ontario. Public health care is a cornerstone in our social contract. It is our competitive advantage. But it’s under attack by Doug Ford’s government.

We will not be intimidated. We will stand together. Our values. Our jobs. Our Canada. 🇨🇦

Max Simao loved going to school. It was one of his three favourite things.   In October,he was sent home early, because the school didn't have an educational assistant to support him.  On December 11th, Max was sent home again. That afternoon, he was struck and killed by a bus. (1/4)

Another auto plant closure in London. That's 136 workers being left with months of uncertainty about their jobs, their income, and their families’ future. This is what Doug Ford’s Ontario looks like. Instability, fear, and workers being told to just hang on and hope for the best. (1/2)

"If you live in Newfoundland, you realize the big challenges you face require the whole community to respond." Marit Stiles grew up in St. John's, and that upbringing shaped how she leads. Former Toronto Mayor David Miller says her biggest strength is listening to people.

Let me be clear: Mark Carney is selling out our auto sector. China gets 49,000 guaranteed vehicle sales. Ontario workers get "expected" investment in "three years." Our workers deserve guarantees – you don't protect an industry with maybes.

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.

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)

Hey everybody, I wanted to share some incredible news with you:    Our end-of-year fundraising was record-breaking and for the second year running, we have more donors than Doug Ford's Conservatives and the Ontario Liberals combined. (1/3)

Pouring out a bottle of Crown Royal won’t save a single job.   What I hear from workers is simple: they want a government that will protect their jobs when they're at risk. That’s where Doug Ford’s focus should be. (1/2)

Doug Ford is a Jobs Disaster.

Les droits des francophones sont importants pour moi – je promets d'être votre voix au Parlement.

In a province as big as Ontario, there’s no reason the Eglinton LRT should be on its 15th year of construction with no opening date in sight. I stopped by Little Jamaica to see for myself the real impact of these delays: 300+ businesses closing and a community that was once thriving now struggling.

With fries inside! If you’re in Sudbury, you really have to stop by Damascus, run by the Qarkouz family, for some of the best Shawarma you’ll find in Ontario.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Ontario! 🎄 À tous et à toutes à travers notre province, je vous souhaite de joyeuses fêtes ! www.ontariondp.ca/christmas-vi...

In Coniston, I toured the Elmwood building, a 55-unit apartment where rents are locked below market for 20 years. This matters because it means people can afford to stay in their community. They don’t have to worry about being priced out or losing their homes.

Stopped by LiUNA Local 493’s training centre in Val Thérèse, meeting with workers and seeing how they’re training the next generation for careers in the skilled trades.

Stopped by my favourite florist in Davenport, Hills Florist, to pick up some flowers for my daughter! Ninety-three years in the neighbourhood, and truly woven into this community. Thank you, Melissa and Laura!

Following news that Labour Minister David Piccini is under investigation over the Skills Development Fund scandal, CP24 asked me why Ontarians should care about this at a time when the cost of living is on everyone's mind. Here’s my response:

One of my favourite things about being up North is how people here are honest about what’s working and what isn’t, and how ready they are to help fix it. And look, when you survive winters like this...you build character. You learn to show up for each other. North Bay has that strength in spades.

Pitting application against application... Pitting workers against workers... Based on who hired a lobbyist connected to Doug Ford... That's not how we do business. Watch the full Skills Development Fund explainer video on my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXK0...

Fired up for the North!

WATCH: I got kicked out of the legislature for calling Doug Ford and his government corrupt, and I refused to take it back. I explain why and break down the Skills Development Fund scandal in a new video. Watch the full video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXK0...

Had such a great time at the Rendez-Vous Ethiopian and Eritrean Restaurant in Scarborough, celebrating the passing of the Ethiopian Heritage Month Bill. Proud of Doly Begum and Kristyn Wong-Tam for championing this bill, and the community leaders who made it possible.

The vile antisemitic terror attack at a Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach that took the lives of 11 people was an unspeakable act of hate and violence. To target people gathered in faith and joy is hate in its most violent form.

55% of Ontarians didn't vote in the last provincial election. People have lost faith in government because of politicians like Doug Ford. That's my challenge. Getting out there and earning people's trust. Showing them government doesn't have to be corrupt. That it can change things for the better.

Time and time again, families are the ones paying the price for Doug Ford's failures. Every dollar that's handed to Conservative insiders is taken away from workers and public services.

Great news for Toronto! Mayor Olivia Chow is speeding up transit across the city by giving streetcars and buses signal priority at traffic lights and making it free after 47 taps a month. Ride faster, ride more, pay less.

WATCH: This happens everyday and it’s a disgrace. Doug Ford never has the guts to get up and answer my questions.
