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!

There is currently a severe weather alert for our region. Please stay safe and avoid non-essential travel. Let's look out for each other! My office will be working remotely today. We remain at your service by phone or email to assist in any way we can. www.weather.gc.ca/warnings/rep...

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 ❤️

The Olympic Spirit is alive and well in the English Learning for Newcomers Program at Flemingdon Health Centre. Everyone in Don Valley East is behind our Canadian athletes, and #CheeringOurChampions. #GoTeamCanada!

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.

It's Groundhog Day, and the results are in: Wiarton Willie did not see his shadow and is predicting an early Spring. I once had a chance to pay homage to this great prognosticator while working at the hospital in Wiarton. Thank you, Willie, for your service and the great news!

On this day in 2017, blood spilled onto the green carpet of a Quebec City mosque as 6 men were killed and more injured just for being Muslim. We wear a green square in their memory. On #DayofActionAgainstIslamophobia, we commit to ensuring everyone lives free of fear and hate.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honour the memory the six million Jews and millions of other victims murdered by the Nazi regime. Anti-semitism, intolerance and hatred in any form have no place in our province, or around the world. 🕯️

Eighteen months ago, @OntScienceCtr was abruptly closed by @fordnation who said the roof was at risk of imminent collapse. That claim was rejected by engineers, architects and even the Auditor General. On Sunday, it was also rejected by Mother Nature. My statement ⬇️

Doug Ford and Kinga Surma claimed the roof of @OntScienceCtr was at risk of collapse yet it's standing strong after the largest one-day snowfall in our history. Meanwhile, they're living large tonight at a $750/plate fundraiser. How do people so wrong have such nerve? #onpoli

I've asked my team to work from home today for their own safety - but we remain at your service by phone and email if you require any assistance. Please don't hesitate to reach out if we can help - we expect to be back to regular operations tomorrow.

As this winter storm continues and we begin to see power outages and property damage, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone working to keep us safe. For some people, it wasn’t an option to stay home today - your sacrifice and hard work is deeply appreciated. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

There is now a severe weather alert for Sunday and warning that travel may be hazardous. Unfortunately, this means I must postpone our New Year’s Levee. Doctors have a rule—first, do no harm—and your safety is everything to me. I’m very sorry, but stay tuned for another event.

A majority of people (62%) feel the launch of the Finch West LRT was botched and it’s easy to see why. How else can you describe 350 delays in 1 month, and service that’s slower than the buses it replaces? Ahead of the Eglinton Crosstown opening, accountability is more important than ever. #onpoli

This week, @fordnation admitted defeat on housing, saying construction has become an inferno. He's the one who lit the match. Ontario deserves more than a government that talks big but delivers small. Ontario deserves real action, like this ⬇️ #onpoli #onhousing

Today has been branded as a day to talk about mental health, but that’s not good enough. Many of us will experience mental illness in our lifetime, and when we do, we’ll need kindness, compassion and action. Let’s commit to those things for each other - today, and everyday.

It's been alarming to hear from rural leaders @ROMA_Ont about the challenges they face in affordability, infrastructure, healthcare and housing. Support from the province shouldn't depend on your postal code. Rural Ontario: you have my attention—today and every day. #onpoli

As we commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on the life and legacy of a man who dedicated himself to building a society rooted in dignity, equality, and opportunity for all. These principles are as important today as they have ever been.
