The federal govt’s EV deal with China threatens Ontario’s auto sector. The Premier must act now to protect Ontario’s auto sector and the workers, families and communities that rely on it. We all need to work together to protect Ontario workers and our automotive industry.

I met with community leaders at OSHaRE who are filling the gaps caused by the Ford government's failure to keep Ontario affordable. I'm so inspired by the work that folks like Francesca, Jill, and Colleen are doing.

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.

Wishing everyone in Ontario a very Happy New Year! A huge thanks to all of you who helped make 2025 such a strong year for our Green movement in Ontario. I'm looking forward to another year working with you to build a more affordable, fairer and greener province.

Thanks to Ballet Jörgen for inviting me to join the Guelph production of The Nutcracker last night. One of my favourite parts of the season! Congratulations to all the local dancers who also got to take part.

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

We've seen what a Ford majority government looks like. If you're a wealthy, well-connected insider, it's going great. If you're not, then life in Ontario has only become harder and more expensive. Imagine what we could accomplish if we put everyday people first.

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/...

Catching up on post my votes from last week. I voted no to government Bill 25 because non-profit and social service agencies have raised serious concerns govt directives in the bill is overreach that could be used to force government ideology into community services under threat of defunding. 1/5

Ontario is in one of the worst housing crises in the world. It's time we listen to the people who are asking this government to step up and do something about it.

It's Small Business Saturday! Guelph is so fortunate to have so many amazing small businesses like Noki Farms and The Wooly – a great spot to grab a drink after some holiday shopping downtown. Thanks to all the incredible members of our community who make our small business sector so strong.

Bill 60 is another attack on renters that will lead to more people going to food banks and experiencing homelessness in Ontario. Doug Ford mocking protestors shows just how out of touch he is with Ontarians.

The Ford government is walking away from their climate obligations yet again by cancelling Climate action. I'm thankful that these young folks have continued to fight to hold them accountable for these past six years. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Yesterday I voted YES to a motion that would reverse Bill 60, protect tenants, restore real rent control and end bad-faith evictions. 1/3

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

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...

Wow, big crowd out here in Guelph for the first weekend train. Lots of happy commuters and families going to Toronto for the day. Thanks to everyone who pushed to convince Metrolinx that there is demand for weekend service.

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.

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.

This hydro rate subsidy is giving the people who have the most the biggest break. Billionaires like Galen Weston don’t need a break on their electricity bills when Ford says the govt doesn’t have money for affordable housing, healthcare and education. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Today, on Remembrance Day, I join all Canadians in expressing my immense gratitude to Canada’s veterans and first responders. Their service and sacrifice has laid the foundation for so many of the democratic freedoms we enjoy today. 1/2

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.

Another week, another motion to limit debate on three important bills. Yesterday I voted NO on the government’s motion to fast track Bill 33, Bill 60 and Bill 40. 1/2

Generations of Ontarians have been left behind and the Ford government has allowed the housing and hunger crisis to get worse.

There are so many people who help Queen's Park run smoothly, and Legislative pages are at the top of the list. I'm grateful to them for keeping me hydrated, making sure papers and notes flow freely, and helping MPPs get their jobs done.

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

MPP Schreiner's Youth Council will hold its first meeting of the year tonight Mon, Nov 3 from 6-7 p.m. at the constituency office (173 Woolwich St.). All high school students in Guelph are welcome!

Heartbreaking. So close. Thanks to the Jays for a fun ride.

The Ford government is starting out this session the same way they do every session — ramming through legislation without consulting with the people of Ontario. 1/2

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.

It's time to get your free flu and covid shots Ontario! Many locally owned pharmacies in Guelph are providing the shots, like Walsh's West End Pharmacy. Check the list to find a pharmacy near you, www.ontario.ca/vaccine-loca...

Local businesses create good jobs and are a big part of what makes our communities so vibrant. As a former small business owner myself, I love living in Guelph where our community makes an extra effort to support local businesses. 1/2

Life in Ontario is more expensive than ever and the Ford government is focused on bike lanes, tunnels and speed cameras. We need a government that's focused on the real affordability problems people are facing.

Good news Guelph Jays fans! You can watch the games tonight and tomorrow on the big screen at the Guelph Little Theatre where they've partnered with Culchaworks Arts Collective to put together two fun nights of baseball, snacks, and friends and neighbours. Go Jays Go!!

The Ford government has a chance to take meaningful action to end homelessness by passing @aislinnclancy.bsky.social and @lfairclough.bsky.social's bill today. I encourage my fellow MPPs to read their powerful op-ed before we vote later today.

Go Jays Go. The 32 year drought is over. Never count this team out. World Series here we come!

I want to wish everyone beginning their celebrations tonight a Happy Diwali & Bandi Chhor Divas. Wishing everyone peace and joy on this special celebration.

Congrats to Dr. Rene Van Acker whose installation as the 10th president and vice-chancellor for the University of Guelph was this past weekend. 1/2

Every child in Ontario has the right to safety. support and care. Dress Purple Day reminds us that supporting children and families takes a community. It is important to let young people know that we see them, we hear them and we are here to support them. 1/2

Towns like Fergus and Elora know just how important our farmland is. Yesterday, Bobbi Ann Brady and I had the chance to speak about the Protect Our Food Act to Centre Wellington council members.

I want to wish everyone in Guelph and across Ontario a happy Thanksgiving! I'm feeling grateful to be able to spend time with family this weekend and enjoy local food grown by amazing Ontario farmers. 1/3

Ontario's farmland is a precious resource that is vital to protect. This #OntarioAgricultureWeek I'm feeling thankful for the land that feeds us and the farmers that steward it while growing our food.

Tonight, I attended an interfaith vigil hosted by @ijvcanada.bsky.social Guelph and Guelph Interfaith Justice mourning the lives lost on, before and after October 7. 1/3

It's hard to overstate just how far backwards the Ford government has taken us on climate. The rest of the world is using the shift toward renewables to generate jobs and prosperity, meanwhile the Premier has no plan at all.

Sending my best wishes to the Jewish community for Yom Kippur. Marked by fasting and repentance, the Day of Atonement offers an opportunity to look forward with hope to the year ahead. Yom Kippur reminds those of all faiths of the importance of self-reflection and renewal. G’mar Chatimah Tovah.

Join me on Wed Oct 8 from 7-8pm at Victoria Road Rec Centre to share your priorities for the new session at Queen’s Park. Whether it’s education, healthcare, protecting farmland, forests, and water, building more housing, or anything else, I want to hear from you. I hope to see you there.

As a former farm kid, it's great to meet a young farmer keeping the family tradition alive. I had the chance to chat with Austin from TruPure Farms about the challenges of getting started as a young regenerative farmer in Ontario.

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, I had the honour of attending the Woodland Cultural Centre’s official unveiling of the former Mohawk Institute Residential School as an Interpretive Historic Site. 1/5
