We're proud of MLA @GordMcNeillyPEI for making Emancipation Day a recognized date in PEI.
Today marks 190 years since the abolition of slavery. It's a day to reflect and commit to ensuring everyone thrives in an equitable and inclusive community. #peipoli
190 years ago slavery was abolished. Emancipation day, is a special day of acknowledgment⦠a day of hope that people who are subjected to racism/ discrimination will be able to thrive through equity and accepted as āš½island family. #peipoli#emancipation

āI am worried that this government will take its usual half-measure and weak approaches to this major social and educational challenge. I think committee hearings will get us the input we need from parents, students and experts.ā @jhalperry#peipoli
As September nears, Liberal Opposition Leader @jhalperry calls for a ban on cell phones in classrooms.
"It's time to prioritize learning and reduce distractions," says Perry.
Provinces like ON, NS, & AB have already taken steps. #peipoli

āThis is not a minor inconvenience; it is a major problem impacting the financial stability and well-being of families. @InfoPEI must act now to ensure that every family has access to the after-school care they need this fall.ā @GordMcNeillyPEI

Families are in crisis due to @InfoPEIās failure to address the after-school care shortage. Iām calling for immediate action and a comprehensive plan within 30 days. Parents can't wait any longer. #peipoli

Islanders deserve better. After years of health care mismanagement, the King Conservatives' solution is to call in private consultants. Time to cancel the contract, invest in primary care, & hold @dennyking and Health Minister accountable. #peipoli

The government's do-nothing approach to this crisis highlights their inability to govern effectively.
Itās time @infoPEI addresses the rental-to-condo issue with the urgency it deserves.
#peipoli@GordMcNeillyPEI
1/2 I've called on @infopei in the legislature, committees, tenant meetings, & directly with Housing Min @RobLantz for over a year to address the rental-to-condo conversion crisis. He has failed to act.
Here is my latest letter to the Minister:

On this day, 80 years ago, courageous soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy, marking a turning point in WWII.Ā
Today, we remember the heroes of #DDay. Their bravery and sacrifice will forever be etched in history.
Today, we pay tribute to the Canadians whose courage and sacrifice at Vimy Ridge helped shape our nation's history. Their legacy lives on as a testament to the strength and resilience of the Canadian spirit. Let us never forget their contributions to our country. #VimyRidge
Today, we amplify the voices and experiences of transgender individuals, celebrating their courage, resilience, and contributions to our community. We reaffirm our commitment to equality, acceptance, and respect for all gender identities. #TransDayOfVisibility#TDOV2024
Today's proclamation of paid sick leave is a start, but far from sufficient. Our intent was clear: no one should have to choose between health and a paycheck. 1 day of paid sick leave isnāt enough, especially in a cost of living crisis. #peipoli@jhalperry
This week, An Act to Amend the Liquor Control Act was tabled in the @peileg. With Section 1 promoting responsible liquor consumption & Section 2 ensuring funding, this bill is a crucial step towards a safer drinking culture. My video explains why I brought this forward. #peipoli
On #IDERD2024, we stand united against racism. We must continue our efforts to build a society where everyone is valued and treated equally, regardless of race.
Let's continue to strive for equity & work together towards a future free from discrimination. #EqualityForAll
Happy #InternationalWomensDay
This year, let's answer the call to action and "Accelerate Progress" towards gender equality. It's about building healthier, more prosperous, and more inclusive communities.
We are committed to advancing women's rights and empowerment. #IWD2024
Once again, the majority conservative government has shown their lack of urgency in addressing the housing crisis in PEI.
By defeating @jhalperrās bill to expedite housing construction today, they've chosen to prolong Islanders' suffering. #peipoli
#PinkShirtDay is a reminder to stand up against bullying and promote diversity, inclusion, and acceptance.
Today, we are wearing pink to show our support for creating a more inclusive and accepting province.
It's abundantly clear that this government is devoid of any meaningful plan to address the urgent housing needs of our province. Today's release of PEI's "housing strategy" is a sad attempt to save face amidst a crisis worsened by @InfoPEI's ineptitude. #peipoli
This so-called strategy offers nothing but recycled rhetoric. Itās completely void of substance and is an insult to every single person struggling to find housing in our province. #peipoli
