Steel barriers are a half measure that won't address the problem. At minimum the City should install edge doors at the most problematic stations first and use the improvement data to argue for funding for the rest from the province and the feds.

Small businesses are essential to the economic success of this province yet skyrocketing rents continue to threaten their livelihood. In the Ontario Legislature, I challenged the Ford Conservative status quo and stood in support of easing commercial rents for small businesses. Join me in the fight for a more successful and affordable Ontario. #onpoli

These are the 60 Conservative MPPs who voted against my bill to stop harmful online gambling advertisements. Thousands of people from across Ontario asked me to fight for this legislation.

Ontario Liberal MPP Lee Fairclough said online gambling ads are designed to get people hooked — especially young men and teenage boys. Doug Ford’s out-of-touch Conservatives heard all the warnings about addiction, debt, and mental health harms and still voted against banning the ads. #onpoli @LFairclo youtube.com/shorts/rndHSHsi_…

After sitting down with Lee Fairclough in Hamilton recently, I know this to be true. “She is chipper not chippy, exuding authenticity and curiosity in a field of towering egos.”

In other news … look who’s running to be leader of Ontario’s Liberals. Not still struggling to win a seat. MPP Lee Fairclough already has one. My wknd column on @LFairclo, the ex-rugby player who can captain a team. thestar.com/politics/politic…

Doug Ford’s Conservatives voted against my Private Members’ Bill to ban harmful online gambling advertising. Bill 107 addressed a growing public health crisis in Ontario head on. It reflected a commitment to tackle the broader structure that makes it so easy to fall into problem gambling. This bill resonated across the province as I talked to countless people who were inundated with these predatory ads or whose lives were deeply impacted by online gambling. I will keep fighting!

During my debate on my bill to ban advertising for online gambling, I shared a real and devastating story of gambling addiction. Thank you to the brave individual who wrote to me to share their lived experience with online gambling addiction and the truth about predatory online gambling advertising. Behind every statistic on gambling harms is a real person. We cannot keep normalizing gambling by saturating our feeds, screens, billboards, and communities with ads telling us to gamble. Ford’s Conservatives refuse to take responsibility for their damaging policies. I’ll keep fighting to ban these insidious ads. #onpoli

In the 2026 Ontario Liberal leadership race, I will be working to elect @LFairclo. She will do politics in a first class way and be the leader we need to earn the trust and confidence of voters and win seats across the province. #onpoli

Senator Marty Deacon and I serve at different levels of government, but we agree: Online gambling ads are fueling a mental health and addiction crisis. I’ve introduced a bill to ban online gambling advertising in Ontario. Senator Deacon’s bill to create a national framework for sports betting advertising is also moving forward with support across party lines. Momentum is building to address gambling addiction. I hope the Ford government does the right thing Thursday and votes to support banning online gambling ads in Ontario. #onpoli
