Toronto Centre NDP

The great province of Ontario deserves a government with a real vision and real results. That's what I'm fighting to build.

While the world invests in better transit, under Ford's watch, Metrolinx is making GO trains slower. How did we find out? Through our FOI work. Maybe this is what the government doesn't want you to know. thestar.com/news/gta/metro…

Racial discrimination has no place in Ontario. On the National Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, we remember the 69 people who were killed during a peaceful protest against apartheid laws in South Africa , a devastating example of where racism, when left unchecked, can lead. Today and every day, we must confront the systems that continue to uphold inequality. Systemic racism and racial discrimination are still a reality in Ontario across our institutions and it is our collective responsibility to call it out, challenge it, and build a province where everyone is treated with dignity and fairness.

I don’t want my daughters to have to carry pepper spray to feel safe walking home, neither should Doug Ford’s daughters or anyone’s daughters.    If he wants to keep our kids safe, he should look in his own backyard and address community safety as the Premier of Ontario.

🚨 BREAKING: Doug Ford just gutted the law that allows Ontarians to request information about his government's policies. These Freedom of Information requests helped uncover the Greenbelt scandal and preferential treatment for a multi-billion dollar foreign-owned megaspa at #OntarioPlace. The ability to request information is why the Ford government is under RCMP criminal investigation right now. #ONpoli

STILES: Ford is changing the rules to hide the truth from Ontario From @MaritStiles #onpoli ontariondp.ca/news/stiles-fo…

Latest job numbers show youth unemployment is approaching a boiling point in Ontario From @CFifeKW @JessicaBellTO #onpoli ontariondp.ca/news/latest-jo…

I’m on my way to meet with transit workers right now, but I have to talk about this first.   This is bullshit. Doug Ford is changing the rules so that he and his ministers never have to answer to you. Ever.   Freedom of Information laws are how journalists, researchers, and regular people find out what the government is actually doing with your tax dollars. That's how we found out about the Greenbelt scandal. The Ontario Place spa deal. All of it. Now he wants to exempt himself, his cabinet, and their offices from those laws. Completely.    He's not trying to protect one document. He's trying to make sure you can never find out what he's hiding. An honest government doesn't do that. And we're not going to let him get away with it.

You won't believe what Ford said this week about what's wrong with health care 🤦. Comment save health care and I'll dm you our petition to fix healthcare in Ontario!

The person whose whole job is to be a check on government power is sounding the alarm.

Thank you to the hundreds of students and concerned Ontarians who joined @maritstiles, @ontariondp caucus members, and me for our OSAP town hall last night! Students deserve a government that invests in their futures, not one that cuts support and makes education harder to access. It was inspiring to see the power of collective organizing as people shared their stories and learned key strategies to take action against Ford and his Conservatives’ harmful decisions. I’m feeling energized and looking forward to joining you all again at the rally at Queen’s Park on March 24th!

ONDP leader Marit Stiles on Doug Ford's proposed FOI changes: "These changes just simply shield Doug Ford and his government from accountability over things like the Greenbelt carve up, all of the preferential treatment that they've been giving to companies."

Endometriosis is a public health issue! Join me, community educator Lesley Stoyan, and five amazing advocates for a virtual townhall to understand endometriosis, why treatment is so hard to access, and what we can all do to push for greater awareness and research around women and gender-diverse people's health.

Pasma: Classrooms need real and sustainable funding, not band-aid solutions From @ChandraPasma #onpoli ontariondp.ca/news/pasma-cla…

You waited 15 years for a train. Someone got rich while you waited. 💰 Watch to the end to find out how the mess by Metrolinx cost you – even if you've never taken transit in your life.

#NEW: STILES: NDP will force a vote on Ford's callous OSAP cuts

I’ve been invited to many iftars this Ramadan, but actually hosting one was an incredibly special experience. Thank you to everyone who came out to join @maritstiles, me, and my fellow @ontariondp caucus members for our Iftar at Queen’s Park. It warmed my heart to break fast and share a meal with neighbours and community members from across our city. I look forward to welcoming you all again for more community celebrations soon! Ramadan Mubarak! 🌙
