Congratulations to all the graduates celebrating this season! Wishing you success, happiness, and exciting opportunities in the next chapter. The future is yours - go make the most of it. 🎓 #Nepean #Graduation #ClassOf2026 #onpoli

I want to thank everyone who spoke up, shared their stories, and advocated for the students who rely on these supports every day. I also appreciate the Board's reconsideration of this decision. Every child deserves to get to and from school safely, and this is a positive step in the right direction

A poll shows your approval rating is tanking? Call it fake. A crowd photo doesn't look great? Edit it. Doug Ford is borrowing a few too many pages from Donald Trump's playbook. Let’s not normalize this. #onpoli

Had a wonderful time at the Ottawa Italian Festival today! 🇮🇹 From the food and music to the incredible community spirit, it was great to celebrate the rich culture, traditions, and contributions of Ottawa’s Italian community.

Students deserve stability, opportunity, and a future they can count on. With OSAP being gutted and youth voting rates lagging, it’s clear change is needed. That is why I met with the @uottawa.ca Student Union with @tylerwatt.bsky.social — to hear directly from those affected.

Proud to join the Breakthrough T1D Walk in Ottawa today alongside so many incredible advocates, families, and supporters. Every step brings us closer to a future without Type 1 diabetes. Thank you to everyone who is raising awareness, funding research, and supporting those living with T1D every day

The Ford Conservatives tried to shut down the committee that scrutinizes political appointments over the summer. Ontario Liberal MPPs fought back - and won. Transparency shouldn't take a summer vacation. #onpoli

It was great to join my colleague Lucille Collard at the Ottawa Humane Society's Compassion Campaign Launch. The @ottawahumane.bsky.social does incredible work caring for animals in need and supporting pet owners across our community. Thank you to everyone involved for your compassion & dedication.

Today, I joined the Walk to End ALS in Ottawa in memory of my dad, Randy, and in support of every person and family facing this devastating disease. ALS changes lives in an instant. It takes far too much from far too many, but it also reveals incredible strength, resilience, and love.

Ford is still really upset he couldn’t keep his $29 million luxury private jet. Ontarians are upset they can’t afford groceries. #onpoli www.thetrillium.ca/news/politic...

Thank you to my fabulous colleague MPP Andrea Hazell for hosting an incredible reception in recognition of Filipino Heritage Month. It was wonderful to join community members in marking this important month and recognizing the lasting impact of the Filipino community across Ontario. #onpoli

We are about to vote on the Ford government’s motion to shut down Queen’s Park until October 27. I’ll be voting against it.

Today I asked the Premier a simple question about the cost-of-living crisis facing Ontarians. Instead of answering, Premier Ford chose insults and to lie about my voting record. I’ll keep asking the questions. The Premier should start answering them. #onpoli

It was wonderful to attend Ottawa Eid Fest at the #Nepean Sportsplex and celebrate with so many members of our community. Thank you to everyone who helped organize this fantastic event. Eid Mubarak! 🌙

Joined folks in Ottawa today as part of the #FightFord protests taking place across Ontario. Democracy depends on people staying engaged, speaking up, and holding governments accountable. The fight for better health care, education, affordability, and transparency continues. #onpoli

Nepean was proud to welcome riders, families, coaches, and volunteers from across Canada this weekend for the Capital City Nationals hosted by Nepean BMX and BMX Canada. Thank you to everyone who made this incredible weekend possible, and best of luck to all the athletes competing! 🚴

Great to attend the grand opening of 20 Dunbar Court in #Nepean - the latest affordable housing project by Nepean Housing Corporation. This new 31-unit building will help provide more people in our community with a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. Thanks to all who made this happen!

Wishing everyone in #Nepean and across Ontario celebrating Eid al-Adha a joyful and peaceful holiday. May this special occasion bring you time with loved ones, reflection, and community. Eid Mubarak! 🌙

Doug Ford said he “makes mistakes” and “listens to the people” when it came to the taxpayer-funded jet. Good. Now do it with OSAP. Ontario Liberals will keep fighting until these damaging changes are reversed. #onpoli

Doug Ford said he’d never use a government plane. Now records show he’s been increasingly flying private on the public dime - long before the $29 million gravy plane scandal exploded. #onpoli www.thetrillium.ca/news/politic...

Today, I asked the government a simple question: why do they continue to ignore Ottawa’s health care crisis? People in our city deserve better than hallway medicine, endless wait times, and a government that keeps looking the other way. #onpoli

It was a pleasure meeting with Heather Rovet again. Heather’s courage in continuing to share her story is inspirational. I strongly recommend everyone watch Heather’s documentary “ROMCON.” It is a powerful reminder of why we need stronger protections, and better support for victims. #onpoli

Premier Doug Ford’s $29 Million Luxury Private Jet Scandal. Read my latest Substack: substack.com/@tylerwattmp...

Democracy is not supposed to work like this. Doug Ford shuts down debate, rejects amendments, blocks opposition bills, and rushes massive omnibus legislation through Queen’s Park. Ontario deserves better than a government that treats accountability like an inconvenience.
#onpoli

Doug Ford said returning his luxury jet wouldn’t cost Ontario taxpayers anything. He lied. Turns out taxpayers got stuck with a nearly $200,000 bill just to return it. Meanwhile, people can’t afford groceries, mortgage/rent, or get health care. Priorities. #onpoli

Ontario’s health care minister laughed out loud when I asked her about nurse respect and retention in question period. She may find my plea laughable, but nurses are speaking out about the reality. She should listen. 👇 ottawacitizen.com/news/ontario... #onpoli

Great to attend the RNAO Ottawa’s Nurse Appreciation Breakfast this morning. During National Nursing Week, it’s important we recognize the compassion, advocacy, and care nurses bring to our communities every single day - often under incredibly difficult conditions.

We just found out it cost Ontarians $190,000 to return Doug Ford’s luxury private jet. ✈️ While people struggle with the cost of living and our public services are stretched to the breaking point, this government continues to waste your money. You deserve better. #onpoli

I asked Ontario’s Health Minister what this government is doing to RESPECT and RETAIN #nurses. Instead of answering, she talked about recruitment and alleged nurses who tell her they appreciate her. When I called out the non-answer, she laughed out loud. Nurses deserve better. #onpoli

Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system. This Nurses Appreciation Week, I want to thank every nurse across Ontario for showing up day after day in impossible conditions - overcrowded hospitals, chronic understaffing, workplace violence, and burnout. #onpoli

It was great meeting with the Canadian Federation of Students to talk about the challenges students are facing across Ontario. I look forward to continuing to work together to stand up for students and build a more accessible and affordable future. #onpoli #FixOSAPASAP

Had a great time attending the annual graduation exhibition at OCAD university and seeing the incredible creativity and talent of emerging artists and designers. Congratulations to all of the graduates on this exciting milestone.

Another day, another shady deal for Doug Ford’s friends. Metrolinx quietly signed off on a secret $500 million settlement with a company linked to the Premier’s close friend, Carmine Nigro - for “air rights” the company reportedly never even owned. #onpoli www.thetrillium.ca/news/politic...

While Ontarians are struggling to afford groceries, rent, and basic bills, Doug Ford spent $29M of taxpayer money on a luxury gravy plane for trips to the U.S. If this was really a “clean giveback,” then show Ontarians the receipts. What are they hiding? #onpoli www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

I don't accept "just trust us". I asked Premier Ford a simple question: how much will Doug Ford's $29M luxury jet cost taxpayers after its return, and when will we see the receipts? ✈️💰 Ontarians deserve transparency. Instead, we received spin, deflection, and non-answers. #onpoli

OPINION: If there’s nothing to hide, why hide it? "The Ford government's changes to Ontario's freedom of information law should set off alarm bells, writes MPP Tyler Watt" www.thetrillium.ca/opinion/opin... #onpoli

The Ford Conservatives just voted down our motion to restore Freedom of Information.  They were given a clear choice - transparency or secrecy.  An Ontario Liberal government will restore and strengthen FOI - because you deserve accountability and the truth. #onpoli

Doug Ford changed the law to protect himself. This afternoon, the Ford Conservatives have a chance to fix their mistake by voting for our FOI motion. Ontario Liberals have committed to repealing the Ford government's changes at the first opportunity. #onpoli

Tomorrow, the Ontario Liberals will table a motion to reverse Doug Ford’s dangerous FOI changes. The Ford Conservatives will face a moment of truth - fix this, or double down on secrecy. Ontarians are watching. #onpoli

24/7 free support that is confidential through text, chat, or calling: Kidshelpphone.ca Grateful to be at today’s BMO #WalkSoKidsCanTalk here in #Nepean in support of Kids Help Phone. We’re in the middle of a real mental health crisis - and that makes services like KHP, more important than ever.

Unsurprising that after eight long years of underfunding colleges and universities, Doug Ford had to go to the United States to find one that would give him an honorary degree. #onpoli www.cp24.com/politics/que...

Had a blast this morning at the Barrhaven Lions Club annual pancake breakfast here in #Nepean 🥞 All donations are going to QuickStart Early Intervention for Autism - helping kids and families get the early support they need. #onpoli
