Dear Community,
Our health care system needs to work better for everyone, but there are some folks that have always struggled to get essential care.
On Thursday, I was I was proud to stand with my fellow MPP Kristyn Wong-Tam as a co-sponsor to their Gender Affirming Healthcare Act, which would ensure all trans, non-binary & gender-diverse Ontarians have access to the affirming, LIFE-SAVING healthcare they need & deserve.
Dear Community,
This week is Transgender Awareness Week, and I hope you'll join me in honouring and celebrating all two-spirit, trans, and gender diverse folks! Let's commit together to learning about trans history and resisting transphobia.
Dear Community,
The House resumed today and my top priority; repealing Bill 28.
Since the day it was tabled, my position was clear. The Keeping Students in Class Act, 2022, was a vicious attack on education workers, parents, students, and ALL workers and should have never have been passed in the first place. Not only did it not keep students in class, it infringed on the human right to collectively bargain, as written in the constitution, through its use of the notwithstanding clause.
Dear Community,
On Wednesday, the Conservative government imposed a contract on Ontario education workers with a pitiful increase that still leaves these workers that do so much for Ontario's children earning poverty wages.
Rather than negotiating in good faith, the Conservatives are threatening to fine workers and their unions millions of dollars if they don't accept this contract and go back to work.
Dear Community,
Yesterday was Wear Purple Day in Ontario, a day to bring attention to children and youth at risk of abuse or neglect. Preventing child abuse takes a village. A village led by education workers.
Dear Community,
The legislature has reconvened and I'm back to hold the Ford government accountable for our community.
