    I have now declared my outdoor Christmas lights to be “winter lights” and I plan to leave them up through the winter. We need all the light we can get. Please join me and retweet! #winterlights

    Gotta say, @RosieBarton is doing a great job on Face To Face on The National. Far more informative than the debates. She’s smart, tough, and knows her stuff.

    So, you still think Canada is broken??? Not perfect, but #1 is not a bad place to be.

    Maybe that’s why graduation rates went from a disgraceful 68% to 86% over the same period. The additional teachers are the very people who support those at highest risk of dropping out. Seems to me that’s a very wise investment.

    I have known Han Dong @handongontario for many, many years. I have always known him to be a proud Canadian, working hard to represent his constituents and to make Canada even better. It is impossible for me to believe allegations against him. I hope his name is cleared quickly.

    Another @CPC_HQ candidate endorsed by pro-lifers. This one in London North Centre. When the leader says “don’t worry, I’m pro-choice” but dozens of his candidates are proud to be endorsed by anti-choicers, you have to question how much the leader really leads.

    I am heartbroken by the #OSAP announcement today. But heartened by the response of so many who are prepared to fight to keep OSAP strong. Equality of opportunity is something we must stand up for. Financial status must never limit opportunity in Ontario. #saveOSAP

    I sat on a plane beside a man, his wife, and their 18-month-old baby. They were fleeing Ukraine. I happened to have a few things they needed, and here’s a photo they sent me of a treasured, but no longer needed, table and chairs in their bare apartment. #We’reAllInThisTogether

    Hey ⁦@jaketapper⁩ before you are too critical of ⁦@JustinTrudeau⁩ you might want to compare per capita COVID-19 deaths. USA has three times as many deaths as Canada. Seems to me that’s a pretty darn important metric. ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths

    Hey @spaikin and @jm_mcgrath how is it possible that you found a story about renovating Queens Park more important than a story about hundreds of thousands of dollars collected at the P’s stag and doe? Did I miss something? #ONpoli

    Today, for the first time since 2003, I will not be laying a wreath at the cenotaph in #LdnOnt. Rather, I am honoured to be at #Sunnybrook with my 92-year-old Dad, a veteran of WWII. Very moving experience. #LestWeForget

    Watching Question Period at Ontario legislature, and am gobsmacked at the answers from @fordnation and @DrFullertonMPP . Either they do not understand what they have done to #OSAP, or they are outright lying. There is no other explanation. Truly shameful. #onpoli #saveOSAP
