The Ford government has a pattern of prioritizing the interests of wealthy, well-connected insiders over the needs of everyday Ontarians. The landfill proposed in Dresden could have lasting consequences for the land, water, and community. We need a full and independent…

I joined Greens in Simcoe–Grey last night to strategize about how to fight back against Bill 5. We need people power now more than ever to stop Doug Ford's reckless power grab.

Another amazing Hillside Festival in the books. Thanks to the board, staff, and all the volunteers for making an accessible, friendly, fun, and as always an eco friendly weekend for the artists and audience. Already counting down the days to next year! #HappyHillside

A huge thank you to the group that gathered in Orangeville last week to protest Bill 5. Bill 5 is an attack on our democracy, environment, labour laws and Indigenous rights, and it's up to us to stand up against it.

I was so glad to be with MPP Brady this morning, meeting with the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario to discuss our farmer-led vision for protecting Ontario’s precious farmland. I’m grateful to have their support and feedback as we work to permanently protect Ontario’s…

Doug Ford promised Dresden residents that a proposed dump would get an environmental assessment. Now he's breaking that promise with Bill 5. If Ford can go back on his promise in Dresden and exempt a dump from an environmental assessment, then it can happen anywhere. The fight…

Doug Ford ignored repeated calls from all opposition parties, as well as legal experts and Indigenous leaders, to kill Bill 5 and rework it in meaningful partnership with the very communities whose lands and futures are at stake. Instead, Ford rammed it through the legislature.…

People are fighting back against Ford's attack on farmland. I joined a group from @Wilmot_CAN to see how they're standing up against the Ford government's expropriation of farmland in Wilmot. The Wilmot land assembly process has lacked transparency from the start. We need a…

Thank you to MPPs @MikeSchreiner & @AislinnClancyKC for coming to Wilmot to talk about the #WilmotLandGrab & visit St. Jacobs Foods. We talked about how we can better protect some of the finest farmland in Ontario and Ontario food sources. #fightforfarmland #nofarmeranofood

Today I visited local Wilmot farms and sat down with members of @wilmot_can and @ontariofarms Director Mark Reusser, who are standing strong against the loss of Wilmot land and Bill 5’s threat to farmland and food security. The message from them was clear; they will not sit back…

The fight against Bill 5 is spreading across Ontario because Bill 5 will negatively affect every corner of our province. I was proud to join the coalition that came out to oppose Bill 5 last week in Hamilton. This movement is going to keep building until people power forces…

See you soon for icy treats!

Ford's addiction to fossil fuels is taking Ontario down the wrong path. The rest of the world's investors are moving towards low-cost renewable energy, but Ford wants to take us down a path of climate chaos by committing to a west-east pipeline. Ontario could be a world leader…

An apology isn't enough. Minister McCarthy must withdraw this ask and commit to supporting efforts that protect the health and safety of First Nations, especially clean drinking water. Access to clean drinking water is a basic human right that is not available to far too many…

Yesterday, I joined MPP Bobbi Ann Brady and @drew_spoelstra, President of @OntarioFarms, in Hamilton to present a farmer-led vision for protecting farmland in Ontario. We’re losing the farmland that feeds us at an unsustainable rate. The bill MPP Brady and I put forward would…

Food and farming contributes $50 billion annually to Ontario's economy, but the Ford govt does not have a plan to protect the farmland that supports our food security and the agricultural economy. Bobbi Ann Brady and I put forward a plan to permanently protect the land that…

The world is moving towards clean energy ($2.2 Trillion invested this year), but Ford is taking us in the opposite direction. Spending billions on a new pipeline will only move Ontario further away from meeting our climate goals. Ontario is set up to be a leader in the clean…

Everyone’s favourite event (well mine at least!), my annual ice cream social takes place this Sunday from noon - 2pm at the newly re-opened park area bedside The Boathouse Guelph. Stop by, say hello, enjoy some music by Mr J (solo set without his Groovy Gang!) and have a free…

This summer we'll be going across Ontario to fight back against Bill 5. We're hosting events near you to bring people together to oppose the Ford government's attack on democracy, the environment, and Indigenous rights. Our first event is next week in Toronto. RSVP here:…

First Nations warned that this was coming. The Premier left communities with little choice when he rammed through this legislation with no consultation, little debate, and complete disregard for public outrage. It's not too late for Ford to kill Bill 5 and start over with…
