Excited to announce that I have joined the talented team at Rubicon Strategy!

A full week food fishery improves accessibility, enhances safety, and protects an important part of Newfoundland and Labrador’s culture. Thank you to Minister @LoyolaOD and MHA Jim McKenna for their leadership on this issue and to Federal Minister @Joanne_NL for listening to Newfoundlanders and Labradorians and making the right decision for our province.

Greatest rotation ever

Since 2018, @fordnation and our government have signalled to the world that Ontario is open for business. By lowering taxes, cutting red tape, and creating the conditions for investment, we are bringing new jobs and prosperity to Ontario. I was honoured to join @Sflecce today in Toronto to announce @agnicoeagle’s historic $14B investment that will bring more than 1,500 jobs to Ontario. Read more: news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…

I’m proud to have the support of MLA @TepperBryan in my campaign for BC Conservative leader. As a former RCMP officer, Bryan has seen firsthand the damage the NDP’s crime policies are causing in communities across British Columbia. He knows we need real change to restore safety and get our province back on track. I will defeat the NDP and get it done.

Get verified so you can vote. Together, we can crush the NDP.

The Rainy River Grain Co. is an agricultural hub for Northwestern Ontario, providing grain storage, transportation and supports to farmers throughout the Rainy River District. Through the NOHFC, they are investing $37,000 towards a full-length certified scale, so they can expand operations and serve even more farms in the region.

Today’s announcement is a huge vote of confidence in Ontario’s mining sector that will support and create 1,500 good-paying jobs. By building and expanding mines, we’re delivering on our plan to protect Ontario.

Our province’s incredible mining sector and vast supply of critical minerals are at the heart of our plan to protect Ontario by creating tens of thousands of new, good-paying jobs. This National Mining Week, we celebrate the workers who have made Ontario’s mining sector a global leader.

BREAKING: Brad Gushue has accepted a role as USA Curling's new High Performance Director, as per @Devin_Heroux in an article for CBC Sports. We always knew you couldn't keep this guy too far away from the rink!

Last week at #QueensPark, Bill 100, the Better Regional Governance Act, 2026, received Royal Assent. The goals of Bill 100 are simple: streamline municipal councils, align provincial-municipal priorities, and speed up decision-making. By moving forward with this bill, the government is protecting Ontario’s future, supporting housing and economic development, strengthening communities, and ensuring municipalities are well positioned to meet the needs of a growing province. #RoyalAssent

The sadistic sexual violence unleashed by Hamas against men, women and even children on Oct 7 shows that it wasn't about history or land but pure hatred and evil

Never forget what Hamas did to women and girls, raping and torturing them while laughing. To all the victims - we believe you. To the skeptics, watch the videos if you must, find your humanity and start supporting the innocent. When women are sexually assaulted it matters that they are believed. @CIJAinfo

Just an update - re: the Saturday nomination for the Ontario Liberal Party & Scarborough Southwest. The allegations from the Erskine-Smith team certainly concern Liberal staffers & MPPs I've talked to. I think the Party is greatly regarding the quick & swift "nope, nothing was wrong here" tone & statement of Sunday & Monday, as a HUGE misstep. Regardless of Erskine-Smith's leadership ambitions, it's my belief, now, based on a fair amount of digging....they will re-do this vote. They simply cannot move forward w/ Hafiz as the candidate with the process so under scrutiny, criticism, & conflict. If I'm Hafiz, I wouldn't want to. But, simply put, I'm me - he's him. It's not the easiest thing to throw a nomination win back into the water after landing it on your hook, I'd concede. HERE is the problem: he's Kryptonite now in a general race in that riding. He's Kryptonite for other MPPs - there's just too much there that implies not only an unfair process, but that Hafiz's team factors into the unfair process. It's organized incompetence....or it's incompetent organizing (they ARE different). If you're a Liberal MPP - are you spending your Saturday knocking doors for this guy? I don't think so. You can hope he loses & goes away - but it's not that simple now. They'll have to re-do the nomination - it's not a great look, but it's a worse look not to, & if I'm Erskine-Smith - I agree, don't run again there. Recuse yourself. But they KNOW how bad this is. The Party knows how internally dysfunctional this all looks & seems. You can be cooked a little by resetting the nomination process, or be cooked a lot by pretending this was legit. One of those two options makes a neutral voter recognize that YOU might have some self-reflection, the other just puts the football on the tee for a 4th-start caning in a provincial election.

One of the sharpest, most revealing mask-off moments after Oct. 7 was seeing the denial or weasely side-stepping of the verified reality of what many of the victims of the attack had to endure before or during their deaths or after their capture. jpost.com/israel-news/ar…

The safety of women is not a priority in these cases. Shame on Justice Mandhane.

Hamas forced sexual torture between family members on Oct. 7, investigation finds: 'You hear the screams and then silence' trib.al/OYTIovz

Former Premier Gordon Campbell is backing my campaign for BC Conservative leader. He helped lead BC through a period of economic growth and political stability, and understands what it takes to build a winning coalition in this province. We’re building the team that can take on the NDP and win.

People across Ontario are feeling the impact of global uncertainty and President Trump’s tariffs on their household budgets. That’s why we’re doing everything we can to cut taxes, lower fees and make life more affordable for Ontario families.
