In moments like these, you can’t help but feel a tremendous sense of pride in our community and country. We joined the Vaughan Cadets at the 82nd Annual Ceremonial Review with @MichaelTibollo to celebrate their hard work, living out their “Above and Beyond” motto.

We danced, laughed, and enjoyed caffè and breakfast together — a truly wholesome start to the day. Every year, my team hosts Italian Heritage Month celebrations to remind our Nonni that their values and stories live on in our hearts. Buona Festa! 🇨🇦🇮🇹

At no time in modern history has the need for Made-in-Canada solutions to global challenges been more apparent than it is now. Yet, China maintains a stranglehold on critical minerals — producing around 98% of the world's (low-purity) Gallium. This specific critical mineral is a key component in semiconductor manufacturing and modern defence systems such as radar and advanced telecommunications. That is why Ontario is backing @VoltaMetals to build out our domestic supply chain for these essential technologies — creating good jobs and positioning Canada as the reliable and democratic alternative to hostile regimes. theglobeandmail.com/investin…

I was pleased to welcome Minister @Sflecce to Timmins for the Canadian Mining Expo and highlight how our government is making the investments needed to help Ontario shape the future of mining. Year after year, this event showcases the best of northern Ontario's mining sector and brings together people and businesses from across Canada and around the world. I want to thank Glenn, Rory and the entire organizing team for another outstanding Expo and for continuing to drive economic opportunities across our region.

Lowest-cost electricity procurement in Ontario’s history. This is what differentiates us from the former Liberals — they sole-sourced 10x above market, while our government uses competitive tension to drive down prices and maximize benefits to families. A solid outcome announced by @samoosterhoff, @RudyCuzzetto, @davidsmithmpp, and @RobFlackEML — securing enough new power for up to 640,000 homes at a cost 36% lower than the last procurement.
Delivering the lowest-cost electricity capacity procurement in Ontario’s history ⚡️ With @RobFlackEML, @RudyCuzzetto, @davidsmithmpp in Elgin County, we announced Ontario’s new competitive procurement that will power 640,000 homes across the province. Led by @Sflecce, with municipal support and 50% equity ownership for Indigenous communities, we’re continuing to power growth for Ontario’s families, workers, and industries. news.ontario.ca/en/release/1…

Over the past five years, @lmgallinger has played a critical role in helping Ontario navigate a period of unprecedented growth and transformation in our energy sector. Her leadership at the @IESO_Tweets helped shape Energy for Generations, Ontario’s first integrated energy plan, while advancing competitive procurements that are delivering new electricity supply at better value for ratepayers. She leaves behind one of the most reliable and secure electricity systems on the continent, built on a strong foundation of long-term planning and grid reliability. As Ontario executes the next phase of its energy plan, I am pleased that Lesley will continue her service as a Board Director at @opg. Thank you, Lesley, for your leadership, dedication and lasting contributions to Ontario.

Extending my sincere condolences to the family of Constable Marc Pinizzotto, his colleagues at the @TorontoPolice, and the @TPAca. His service and sacrifice will not be forgotten.
On behalf of the people of Ontario, I extend my sincere condolences to the family, loved ones and fellow service members of Toronto Police Service Constable Marc Pinizzotto, who was killed in the line of duty today. Today is a sobering reminder of the sacrifices and risks faced by police officers across Ontario every day as they work to keep our province safe.

Earlier this year, I sat down with Governor Shapiro's team and the Pennsylvania Secretary of Energy to detail Ontario's plan to export our mineral and nuclear advantage. While Ontario is leading North America's most ambitious nuclear expansion, governments all around us are turning to Ontario for our on-time and on-budget leadership. This partnership by @fordnation and @JoshShapiroPA will strengthen continental energy cooperation while intentionally reducing reliance on hostile regimes. cp24.com/video/shows/2026/06…

Ontario is on a roll — cutting permit timelines in half, getting roads started to the Ring of Fire five years ahead of schedule, and heavily scaling up domestic refinery and processing. This is why we have emerged as the #1 jurisdiction in Canada for attracting mining investment. To keep building momentum, @GeorgePirieMPP and I launched the Critical Minerals Innovation Fund — supporting 18 new projects. It has never been more important to accelerate made-in-Ontario innovation and boost domestic supply chains. ctvnews.ca/northern-ontario/…

We were glad to see @ONgov highlight Ontario's isotope sector in its recently released North American Growth Plan. The plan also re-commits to our goal of doubling isotope production by 2030, leveraging the work of the NIICO. Learn more: ontario.ca/files/2026-06/for…

Ontario is stepping up to keep critical mineral processing at home, while cutting permitting times by 50%. At the Critical Minerals for Defence Conference, I promoted Ontario’s plan to repatriate value-added investment to our country, as global investors turn to Ontario as Canada’s best place to mine, process, and build.

Since my arrival at the @ONenergy, David Lebeter has been a strong partner and forward-looking leader at @HydroOne. I wish him and his family my very best in his retirement. Congratulations to Megan Telford as she assumes the role of President and CEO. I look forward to our ongoing collaboration to power the next chapter of our country’s growth, supporting transmission projects from coast to coast to coast. Ontario will continue to lead the charge for the Federal Government to invest in one unified electricity grid. For our part, we will continue to advance thousands of kilometres of transmission infrastructure — unlocking new mines, good jobs, and generational opportunity.

We stand alone building nuclear on-time and on-budget. Ontario is turning heads around the world.
Just days after it was reconnected to the grid, Canada's Bruce unit 3 has officially returned to service - more than seven months ahead of schedule #nuclear tinyurl.com/mwhansa4
