It was a pleasure to drop by Centre 507 today with @arieltroster.com . Thanks to Richard and the whole 507 team for all their hard work supporting our neighbours.

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.

Make your voice heard on #Budget2026! The Ontario Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs is holding a pre-budget consultation in Ottawa on January 14th - participate in the consultation process and make your voice heard on the issues that matter most to you.

Is your councillor a chronic no-voter on city budgets? | Opinion - Ottawa Citizen Or is he a ‘Yes Man’? No mention of housing emergency, mental health crisis & poison drug epidemic. This Councillor should know better after almost 20 yrs on Council that his ward differs from inner urban areas

The Globe and Mail has a very succinct but comprehensive editorial outlining the foolery of Lansdowne 2.0. Well worth the read. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/416c9c5...

A councillor who was at the centre of a corruption trial in 2019 has an op/ed in the Citizen today, suggesting that downtown councillors that are critical of ballooning police budgets are responsible for crime rates attributed to the housing and addiction crises. ottawacitizen.com/news/local-n...

Today I rose at Queen's Park to congratulate Suzanne Obiorah on receiving the Order of Ottawa. I have known Suzanne for over a decade and throughout that time I've witnessed her unwavering commitment to our community. Thank you Suzanne for your service to Ottawa Centre, and the entire city.

Jellybean and I had a blast on Saturday at the Parkdale Market tree lighting in Hintonburg! Tis the season to visit your local community craft and holiday markets ☃️🌲❄️

The Hintonburg Craft Fair is on till 4 today! Always happy to see @catmckenney.bsky.social and @yasirnaqvicdn.bsky.social. Big thanks to association volunteers for keeping Paulette’s chili a part of the day!

Bill 60 is a reflection of the cruel politics of this government. Tenants in Ontario deserve better.

Today Doug Ford and his government passed Bill 60: a vindictive attack that puts renters at greater risk and deepens Ontario’s housing crisis. They also voted against my motion to strengthen tenant protections and bring back real rent control.

Wearing #RedForEd today with ONDP colleagues as we prepare for the final debate and vote on Bill 33. There's still time for you to contact your MPP and ask them to oppose this attack on education. Send an email here: ontariondp.ca/stop-the-att...

This is urgent and I need your help. Doug Ford is rushing Bill 33 and Bill 60 through — they're just one vote away from becoming law. Bill 33 silences parents and cuts student services. Bill 60 makes it easier for landlords to evict tenants and raise rents, and opens the door to privatizing water.

A big crew out today in Little Italy and Chinatown talking to neighbours about #Bill60 and Doug Ford's attack on tenant rights. Help us send a message to Doug Ford by signing the petition in my bio 🏘️🔗

Honoured to join community members at the Westboro Cenotaph for their Remembrance Day ceremony today. Lest we forget.

This is my neighborhood & it is home to a great diversity of people The consumption site was chosen based on evidence - the 2nd highest rate of overdoses in the city The closure of the site has caused chaos and destruction for residents-including those who live with addictions - and businesses

Proud to join renters and activists as we fight back against Ford's attack on tenant rights. Bill 60 would: 🚨 Make it easier for tenants to be evicted 🚨 Make it harder to fight back against bad landlords 🚨 Limit appeals against evictions

« Que penseriez-vous si je vous disais qu’à Ottawa, entre 2017 et 2020, 95 personnes sont mortes dans des ascenseurs ? Que ferions-nous ici à l’Assemblée législative ? » @cmckenney.bsky.social à propos de l’interdiction du contrôle automatisé de la vitesse.

“What would you think if I told you that in Ottawa, between 2017 and 2020, 95 people died in elevators? What would we be doing here in the Legislature?” @cmckenney.bsky.social on banning automated speed enforcement.

Bill 60 guts tenant protections and opens the door to ending rent control. We’ll fight alongside renters, housing advocates, and everyone who believes a home should be a human right—not a playground for profit. Sign the petition in my bio to fight back against Doug Ford's attack on tenants 🔗🏠

In 2018 Doug Ford promised he wouldn't touch rent control. He lied. Now he has the audacity to blame renters for his failure to build housing and make life affordable for the people of Ontario.

Now more than ever, we need rent control. Sign the petition in my bio if you agree we need real rent control NOW 🔗🏡

When will the Premier stop his vindictive attack on the tenants of this Province, and start showing some compassion to the people he was elected to represent? Sign the petition in my bio to fight back against Doug Ford's attack on tenants 🔗🏡

📣 Tenants are under attack by Doug Ford and his corporate landlord buddies - we need to fight back. 🪧 Join us at our Protecting Renters Townhall to learn about your rights, how you can exercise those rights, and how you can get organized. 🔗 RSVP at www.catherinemckenney.com/renters! #onpoli

A church, a night club, a dentist's office. What do they all have in common? They all got the friends and family special from the government

You won't find the answer to the homelessness crisis in more prison beds or $10,000 fines. The answer is housing. #onpoli

Above Guideline Rent Increases (AGIs) are being consistently exploited by corporate landlords to raise rents for tenants in rent-controlled units. It's time we ban them. Click here if you agree: www.catherinemckenney.com/ban_agis

Back at Queen's Park today joining students, parents and advocates fighting back against Bill 33 and Doug Ford's attack on our education system.

Jo Masterson, @catmckenney.bsky.social and I had a wild time judging dozens of dogs in costume with a turnout of probably 250 people at the Parkdale Market's Howl-O-Ween. The get-ups were amazing and the enthusiasm in the park incredible.

Back in the legislature today—and ready to hold Doug Ford accountable for his jobs disaster. 800,000 people out of work are counting on results and I'm here to make sure they get them.

#BREAKING: 800,000 Ontarians are out of work while Labour Minister Piccini partied in Paris with a lobbyist whose company got millions from his ministry — money he admitted to hand-picking. As the legislature returns today, I’ve asked the Integrity Commissioner to investigate.

Congratulations to the Ottawa Chinese Community Service Centre on 50 years of service to our community. I had the pleasure of touring their space today, and learning more about the incredible programs they offer to newcomers - what a team!

Thanks to Prof. O'Neill and her Civic Engagement and Public Institutions class for welcoming me to Carleton campus today. A great discussion on housing, transit and government.

BREAKING: 800,000 Ontarians are out of work. 1 in 6 young people can’t find a job — and Doug Ford has no plan to fix it. “No Plan” Doug Ford is a Jobs Disaster. DougFordsYouthJobsDisaster.ca

What a lovely afternoon with @catmckenney.bsky.social at the Centretown Churches Social Action Committee’s Walk for the Centre, supporting the Centretown Community Food Centre.

Solidarity with striking postal workers!

Speed enforcement cameras work to keep neighbourhoods safe by reducing dangerous speeding. I and @catmckenney.bsky.social ask you to write to your MPP and Premier Ford to oppose legislation that would ban their use in Ontario cities.

In 2017, Catherine McKenney and I traveled to Queen's Park to fight for safer streets in Ottawa-Centre. The government listened to residents. Now, Premier Ford is proposing to make our streets more dangerous. It's the wrong move for intensifying neighbourhoods. www.ola.org/sites/defaul...

Did some shooting today.

Thank-you Ottawa Centre, for putting your trust in me to be your champion at Queen's Park. Last night you showed that in our community, we always embrace love and hope over anger and fear.

Here in #Centretown we believe in the 3 Rs: Recycle, Remove #DoFo, Reelect @catmckenney.bsky.social as our representative.

Donating plasma and chatting up my fellow donors. A Centretown resident confirmed they are voting NDP @catmckenney.bsky.social 🧡

Unfortunate result of years of ‘efficiencies’ ‘route optimization’ and another P3 gone wrong

Feels only right that my first post features Jellybean - 4lb dog with tiny feet and an oversized personality

Groundbreaking for CCOC’s newest project on Carruthers - great day when shovels go in the ground on affordable housing! Always glad to see my friend @catmckenney.bsky.social besides.
