On this, Doug Ford and I agree: don’t underestimate Ontarians. His record on jobs and prosperity speaks for itself: ❌ Highest unemployment increase in Canada ❌ 8,500 manufacturing jobs lost ❌ Slowest job growth since 2015 ❌ $500B debt

“Cure sometimes, relieve often, comfort always.” Each day, doctors across Ontario fulfill this crucial mandate with every fibre of their being. I know because I’ve witnessed that passion working alongside so many of you and seen it from Queen’s Park too. Happy Doctors’ Day!

In a lightning-fast move, @fordnation has blocked 219 Greenbelt records from seeing the light of day, only days after passing his new law to water down access to Freedom of Information. We want to preserve the Greenbelt and he wants to preserve himself. www.thetrillium.ca/news/the-tri...

The National Day of Mourning is an occasion to pause and reflect on the workers who never made it home — who lost their lives, their health, or their well-being on the job. A safe workplace isn't a privilege, it's a right.

Only 62K housing starts in 2025 and TRREB's report shows Ontario is 287K homes behind target. Families are losing hope, and everything from development charges to red tape is blocking supply. It's time for leadership. It's time to build. #onpoli trreb.ca/new-trreb-ho...

Sure… the weather was great today but the company was even better. There’s nothing quite like a community coming out to care for its majestic ecosystem. There’s something truly special at ET Seton Park. Don’t mess with the Don!

My thoughts are with those impacted by the shooting at Fairview Mall, especially the security guard who was shot. Moments like this shake our sense of normalcy and remind us that more is needed to fight crime and violence. Thanks to police and all who keep us safe. www.cp24.com/local/toront...

Doug Ford and his Conservatives had a chance today to show they’ll put students and post-secondary education first. They didn’t. Our plan called to restore OSAP to 85% grants, remove loan interest, add a 2-year grace period, support low-income students, and fix OSAP - ASAP.

Yom HaShoah marks a day to remember millions of Jews murdered during the Holocaust - one of humanity's most frightening examples of unchecked hatred. If it happened once, it can happen again - which is why we must confront antisemitism and hatred in all forms across Ontario.

My reaction to Doug Ford's failed promise that he'll build 1.5 million homes by 2031 ⬇️

On Passover, Jewish families gather around the Seder—a ritual meal retelling the story of the Exodus and the journey from slavery to freedom. Wishing everyone observing a meaningful and joyful Chag Pesach Sameach.

It's World Autism Awareness Day - an occasion to recognize the diverse strengths, experiences, and contributions of people with autism in our communities. Awareness is important, but so is action: accessible supports, inclusive spaces, and meaningful belonging for every person.

The challenges we face in society today will be inherited by our youth tomorrow. Shouldn’t you have a say? Join our Youth Council in Don Valley East by visiting adilshamji.ca/youth and decide your future. Hope to hear from you!

Earlier today, His Highness Prince Rahim Aga Khan arrived in Canada for an historic first visit after becoming leader to @TheIsmaili Muslim community. His delegation joined me for a reception at Queen's Park before entering the Legislature to be formally welcomed.

Excitement was in the air for my constituents this weekend, showcased at our Spring Celebration. Constituents shared what's weighing on them heading into this legislative session - I'm taking those voices back to Queen's Park this week. Grateful for a community that shows up.

Hey #DonValleyEast, we’re just days away from our Spring Celebration and you’re invited. Join us for a great time with food, fun and friends. 🗓️Sunday, March 22 ⏰1:30-3:30PM 📍IBEW Building, 1377 Lawrence Ave E I hope to see you there, it’s going to be a hootnanny 🎉

The Spruceglen is a 4-cylinder, 9 THOUSAND horsepower lake cruiser that carries 30 thousand tons of cargo across the Great Lakes. A single payload replaces 1000 trucks on our highways. Thank you, CSL, for helping me understand our marine trade and transport industry.

Doug Ford says he'll "Protect Ontario". It was his excuse for an early election, and a promise he's repeated ever since. But when criminals targeted over 200K home care patients for ransom, he didn't even warn the people at risk. @fordnation owes us answers ⬇️ #onpoli

International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate the women who shape our communities, and to pause and recognize the barriers that hold too many back. There's so much work that's still to be done. Let's all pledge to do our part so every woman can achieve her full potential.

A hate-motivated antisemitic shooting has targeted the Jewish community at Temple Emanu-el in Toronto. It’s unacceptable. We all deserve to pray and live free from hate. If we claim that right, we must also protect that right for others. That means rejecting antisemitism and all forms of hate.

Chag Purim Sameach to all celebrating! May this joyful holiday of courage, community, and triumph over adversity bring happiness to you and your families. Wishing the Jewish community a festive Purim.

It felt like home at the Kingston Native Centre & Language Nest, where I learned how they’re nurturing Indigenous culture. We discussed languages, food, and even the sacred importance of basketweaving to connect with ancestors. Next time, I hope to try the venison doner wraps!

He can try to plaster over his failed record on post-secondary education, but the fact remains: Doug Ford has brought colleges and universities to their knees. Now he’s doing the same to students by cutting OSAP. Enough. @fordnation: You need to fix OSAP, ASAP. #onpoli

What a Games! Congratulations to Team Canada on an incredible showing at the Winter Olympics. From the podium to the performances that inspired us all — thank you for representing Canada with pride, skill, and sportsmanship.

From quality clothing to top-notch professional training, New Circles truly has it all. And they know exactly how to bring the Olympic energy. Send us your video today to join New Circles and the rest of Don Valley East in #CheeringOurChampions. #GoTeamCanada!

They say all good things must come to an end. Even if it's true, that doesn't make it easier when it means letting go of your brilliant @olipinterns. Shakthi: thank you for bringing your intellect and initiative to all the work we do to serve Ontarians. You will be so missed!

Ramadan is a holy month of prayer and reflection for Muslims. While often associated with fasting, there's more to it than that— including spiritual reflection, community gatherings, and acts of charity. To all who will be observing, may you find peace and enlightenment. Ramadan Mubarak!

Happy Lunar New Year, and welcome to the Year of the Horse. The Horse is associated with energy, determination and forward momentum. May this year bring all of these things to you and your family, along with good health, happiness and prosperity. And we're off! 🐎

I bet there are some future Olympians in this video from the after school program at Go Green Youth Centre - and they’re #CheeringOurChampions. Go for Gold, Team Canada!

On the blessed occasion of Maha Shivaratri, may all who are observing be inspired to overcome darkness and ignorance through the example of Shiva. I hope you find peace and renewal through spiritual reflection. Om Namah Shivaya.

On February 15, 1965, our current flag was raised for the first time on Parliament Hill. Chosen after months of debate, its design reflects unity over division. One leaf, one country, one nation. That message is more important today than ever before. Happy National Flag Day!

Petunia is taking over my account to share a message on Valentine’s Day to all the lovebugs out there ⬇️

Happy Valentine’s Day! I’ve got two ladies in my life… but only one loses her mind when I walk through the door 🐾 My wife might be my valentine but Petunia is my girl ❤️

Doug Ford can try to silence us at Queen’s Park - but he won’t silence us across Ontario. I went up north because I believe something @fordnation doesn’t: Sudbury matters.

Under @fordnation, Northern Ontario is an afterthought. In Sudbury, Ford could fund their hospital or restore their lab services. He could get the doctors they need. He won’t. His record doesn't match his rhetoric. I break it down in the Sudbury Star ⬇️ www.thesudburystar.com/opinion/lett...

Doug Ford wants you to settle for less. The Eglinton Crosstown LRT should have launched with more than a grand opening. It needs: 1️⃣ a public inquiry 2️⃣ compensation for businesses 3️⃣ a rapid process to solve operational issues 4️⃣ no repeated errors from Finch West LRT

As the Winter Olympics commence in Milano Cortina, all of us in Don Valley East are behind our Canadian athletes and we’re #CheeringOurChampions. Go Team Canada! youtu.be/VesMYa5VzOE?...

The Eglinton Crosstown LRT is being marked as “open” but will operate: ❌ slower than expected ❌ less frequently than expected ❌ less trains than expected ❌ fewer hours than expected We demand better. We demand a public inquiry. #onpoli

Heartbreaking news in Scarborough that a young boy was shot while at a Tim Horton’s. I'm thinking about his family and our community at this time. This underscores just how much more work we have to do to address gun violence and safety here at home. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

Gisinaa - “very cold” - was the word of the week as I toured N’Swakamok Native Friendship Centre. But I felt warmth as I learned about their many programs to prepare Indigenous community members for post-secondary pathways, job readiness, and future foundations.

In Sudbury, I discussed the complex realities of healthcare in northern Ontario with CBC. From the recent LifeLabs closure to massive funding shortfalls and over 48K people without primary care, Sudburians are being treated as second-class citizens. Let's change that. #onpoli

The Ismaili community is driven by principles of peace, justice, integrity and service—values instilled by 50 generations of their hereditary Imams. Today, we raised the Ismaili flag to honour His Highness Prince Rahim Aga Khan V on the occasion of #ImamatDay. Kushiali Mubarak!

Flying in from Toronto, I spent last week mapping Sudbury through a Local Matters Tour, focusing on northern Ontario’s most prevalent issues and priorities. I’m looking forward to sharing the many insights drawn from this tour with you all.

This month, we celebrate the progress and accomplishments of the Black community. Black history is Canadian history and it's still being written by visionary leaders like @AndreaHazelll. She's a relentless champion for Scarborough and an inspiration. Happy Black History Month!

The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine @myCCNM is the largest naturopathic school in North America. Today, I learned about the hard work underway to prepare the next generation of naturopaths who are delivering holistic, integrative care across Canada.
