As I was filling up my car leaving Ignace, I was happy to see this retailer who posted a note indicating the newly imposed carbon tax is reflected at the pumps. Gas price at Ignace is 149.9 today! This job-killing carbon tax is tax on everything, making ON simply unaffordable.

Today with @RodPhillips01 I announced that at every gas pump across Ontario, drivers will soon know the impact of the federal carbon tax on their wallets. This would take the form of a "gasoline transparency sticker" that'll identify the hidden federal carbon tax.

I am angry and frustrated with gas prices in nw ON. Kenora on Friday was 119.9 and today is 129.9. Sadly, the Federal Carbon Tax wonโ€™t help as itโ€™ll result in a ยข4.4/litre increase to the price of gas so fill up today! Itโ€™s the last day before the Federal Carbon Tax comes to ON.

I am so sad to hear about Bruce's passing. I met Bruce in Alberta years ago when he worked for Danielle Smith. Nicest guy in the room with a Texas-size smile. Thoughtful, smart, cared about the details. Bruce will be missed by us all.

For 15 long years, the previous govt stood idly by and let exec compensation at Hydro One grow out of control. We were elected to clean up the hydro mess and will take any action necessary if H1 doesn't drastically cut its proposed CEO pay. Our govt will always put Ontarians 1st

One of the most valuable aspects of nuclear power is its reliability. Ontario has relied on the cost-effective, safe and dependable supply of nuclear power for almost half a century. Thank you @Bruce_Power for your contribution to Ontarioโ€™s reliable electricity supply.

Today marks an important step in settling historic annuities for the 21 Robinson Huron Treaty First Nations through respectful and meaningful negotiations. This would not have been possible without the partiesโ€™ shared commitment to rectifying longstanding grievances. Miigwetch.

Our Made-in-Ontario Environment Plan is proof that you can both oppose the Federal Carbon Tax and continue to do more to fight climate change. Our Government is balancing a healthy environment with a healthy economy. #onpoli

By 2020, you'll be paying more than $200 per year in taxes on your natural gas bill. What's worse is these charges will be hidden from you. We're looking at all options so that Ontarians know the true cost of carbon tax. @RodPhillips01

A decision was made by @OntarioPCParty executive to have a leadership convention. ANY efforts to prevent that is an affront to democracy. I call on all members to let their voice be heard #pcmembersmatter

We are investing $160 million to hold time-of-use electricity rates to the off-peak price for 45 days. Ontario is fortunate to have a strong, reliable electricity system during these hard times, & we are proud to provide additional relief to those doing their part to stay home.

Last night we delivered on the call from Ontarians for change in our province. This victory could not have happened without our extraordinary team of volunteers and supporters across our great riding. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. #onpoli #pcpo #KenoraRR
