Conservative minister Michael Tibollo's comment this morning about wearing a bulletproof vest at Jane and Finch is inexcusably racist. Anyone who would say something so divisive has no credibility to continue to oversee Ontario's Anti-Racism Directorate. #onpoli

My thoughts are with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh who are all self-isolating. This is a responsible step, and I hope they are all in good health and are able to come out of isolation soon.

Women in politics face gendered hate like this far too often from faceless cowards. Nobody should ever have to endure this garbage.

Only Doug Ford could spend more than Kathleen Wynne while making deep cuts to social services, classrooms and things that matter to families. This budget shows that the Conservative government doesn't think it's their job to help you. #onpoli #Budget2019

Doug Ford is exacting a revenge plot against a distinguished officer who has been instrumental in uncovering the extent of Ford’s dangerous meddling and political interference into the OPP. Ontario families deserve answers — we need a full public inquiry. #TavScam #onpoli

Doug Ford abruptly ended green programs that put more money in families’ pockets, then stuck people with the bills for his torn up contracts and cancelled programs. Ford's pricey court loss is only the tip of this costly (melting) iceberg. #onpoli

I fully support mandatory vaccination of health care and education workers, based on science and public health. I should have made that position clearer, much earlier. I made a mistake yesterday raising charter rights. I was wrong. ½ #onpoli

Like many others in this pandemic, this morning I tested positive for COVID-19. We’re doing our best to keep everyone safe. I was looking forward to seeing folks in Northern Ontario. We’ll have to make adjustments but I’ll keep connecting with people however I can safely. #ONpoli

With three regulations quietly postponed this month, it appears Doug Ford is governing from backrooms — making changes to laws behind closed doors. No one voted for business to be conducted in secret. People deserve to know who has Mr. Ford’s ear on these issues. #onpoli

7-11 isn’t a restaurant, regardless what they argue, or what deal they might be cooking up with Doug Ford. They should not be granted liquor licences to allow drinking inside their stores. It's not fair to struggling local restaurants & bars, and won’t make anyone’s lives better.

Paid a visit to Etobicoke North this morning where I thought I might be able to find Doug Ford's platform — but it looks like there's #noplatformhere either.

Let me be clear: Doug Ford doesn’t need to be kept in check AFTER election day. He needs to be defeated ON election day. And only the NDP can do it. #ONpoli #ONelxn

Ford thinks a working woman who spends her day travelling to provide home care that the $32,000/year she earns is too much — while he sets up his friends and insiders with six-figure salaries and hefty pay packages. The people who make our province work deserve so much better.

First, Conservatives sold the 407 contract and privatized revenues for their buddies, and now Doug Ford lets them off the hook for a billion in penalties. I have written the Auditor General to look into this fiasco. The people of Ontario deserve better. #onpoli

New changes by the Ford PCs, & supported by Greens & Liberals, demand MPPs sing God Save The Queen for the first time. I fully support the Indigenous NDP MPPs’ decision to abstain. Dragging us closer to colonialism is not in the spirit of reconciliation.

Indigenous MPPs: Why we won’t sing ‘God Save the Queen’ at Queen’s Park today

We see the revival of “God Save the Queen” in the provincial legislature as a regressive shift from the aims of reconciliation to a past that not only condoned, but glorified, the brutality of...

I stand with Ottawans, as the city officially enters a state of emergency in response to the ongoing occupation. People deserve to feel safe, free from hate and intimidation. I’m calling on Doug Ford to step up with the resources and support needed to end this chaos. #ONpoli
