Newly elected Danielle Martin brings great knowledge and passion to the work of representing University Rosedale in the House of Commons and congrats to @MarkJCarney for achieving a stable majority at this critical time. @BobRae48 made a great intro alongside @EvanLSolomon

Aging at Home has been a passion of mine since my time as Minister of Health. It is apparent that the solutions to provide aging with dignity will be one of the most pressing challenges of our time as the proportion of seniors grows. Check us out at Wellhaus.ca

What do we have here? Today at @cityoftoronto a proposed 26 % Council pay increase that would see their pay equal to the #Ontario #ministerofhealth who runs an $ 85 Billion budget and unlike Council gets no pension or inflation raises #torontocentre #voteNO #Moise #tonedeaf

A post by a Conservative MP mocking me for speaking up for Scarborough attracted a torrent of racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic abuse. When I raised concerns about this in committee, another Conservative MP tried to shut me down. #CIMM youtube.com/watch?v=YE6gjhgH…

Sad passing of @phillind who was such a vital part of @Rogers. As the local MPP I got to know him and to enjoy his support even if our party traditions differ. At the re naming of Jarvis top end he said it was called Ted Rogers Way cause Ted always did. #builder

I feel so fortunate to have known and worked with Monte. He and Wilma were so thoughtful and an example of the joy that comes with politics.
Saddened to learn that Monte Kwinter has died. His legacy of service will long endure. On a personal note, Monte was the 1st person to support me, when I knocked on his door in 2013 while seeking the York Centre nomination. I will never forget that. May his memory be a blessing.

I welcome @ShamjiAdil’s recent entry into the @OntLiberal leadership race. Adil is an outstanding Ontarian and Canadian that has much to offer our party, province, and country. I’m so pleased with the robust leadership race that we’re already seeing with such highly qualified candidates: a medical doctor, two lawyers-turned successful politicians, a whip-smart PhD scientist and former financial services executive, and a mayor of a major Canadian city that has won three straight elections by wide margins. Five candidates. Three people of colour. One Millennial and one woman. The number — and quality — of candidates the party has attracted is remarkable, reflects modern Ontario, and stands in stark contrast to the Ontario NDP’s leadership coronation. I’ve been clear that I strongly support @BonnieCrombie in her bid for the leadership, but I also rest assured our party’s future is in excellent hands with this crop of candidates. @OntLiberal has had no shortage of political disappointments in recent years, but one quality it doesn't lack is sheer resilience and a determination to rise again — and win. #onpoli #cdnpoli #OLPRebuild

When it rains lightly it helps to keep the crowd down. Attending this event with #CUBANOS brings a whole new rhythm. #salsaonstclair

Another day of sadness as legendary @DSutton1986 and his great team @TantalusLabs suffer the fate of peers collapsing under the strain of an over reaching government middle. @JustinTrudeau @cafreeland need to act not talk. #SOSCannabis #sadfact 2 of 12 on @ISED_CA Forum went CCAA
It is a sad day in the Canadian cannabis industry to lose a great BC producer and team with @TantalusLabs closing its doors. The energy that @DSutton1986 brought to the craft cannabis movement was undeniable and should be admired. Thank you Dan and Team. Respect.

The demise of @fireandflowerco is a further Shockwave to the #CannabisCommunity . For more than a year we have been calling for action from @cafreeland. #ruraljobs all across Canada are threatened. Cannabis paid $ 1.6 Billion in collective taxes on $4.0 Billion sales

On Sunday, I joined Minden to fight against the closure of their emergency room. Getting the right care in the 60 minutes after a trauma (“the golden hour”) can be a difference of life or death. Seconds matter. Minutes matter. Minden matters. #mindenmatters #onhealth #onpoli
