    Being part of #TeamCanada means helping each other when we can. As nine health care workers from Newfoundland and Labrador head to Ontario this morning to help with COVID-19 relief - including my wife, Dr. Allison Furey - we are all proud of their commitment. Thank you!

    This is my beautiful, brilliant wife Dr. Allison Furey. She’s been working in the COVID Assessment Unit, so got her COVID-19 vaccine today. Every day, she sets an example to be proud of — and I am who I am thanks to her love and support.

    Great call with @CanadianPM @JustinTrudeau today to discuss Newfoundland and Labrador’s offer to help Ontario at this difficult time, and how the federal government can support our efforts. Being a part of #TeamCanada means coming together - that’s the power of this federation.
    This afternoon, in response to rapidly rising numbers of COVID-19 cases across Ontario, I reached out to Premiers @FureyAndrew, @dennyking, and @IainTRankin. We spoke about how we can work together to help Ontarians get through this third wave.

    Today has been really incredible. Among all of the firsts, I have to say that playing a Motley Crüe song on the piano inside Government House, in front of the Hon. Lt.-Gov. @judy_foote was a special moment!

    Our friends in Ontario are going through some tough times with COVID-19. I’ve just talked to Premier @fordnation about the severity of the situation, offering help from Newfoundland and Labrador. We will get through this, together, but we must all follow public health advice.

    I continue to stand up for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians against the federal carbon tax. I am now asking Ottawa to pause its planned increase to the carbon tax, set for April 1st, as the high cost of living is enough of a burden on families. The full letter is here:

    Wow. Thank you. To my family, friends and dedicated team of volunteers. To the Liberal Party - members, supporters, organizers, my opponent. It's an honour to be your leader and this great province's next premier. Together, it is our history to write. Let's get to work.

    When the call went out for vaccination support, I was happy to put up my hand. This COVID-19 booster clinic for current and retired public service employees and their families at the Confederation Building did 586 people yesterday, and we hope to do the same today.

    Today, we made Newfoundland and Labrador history. This $5.2 BILLION announcement lets the people of our province breathe a sigh of relief, knowing their power bills will not double. Thank you, PM @JustinTrudeau.

    Talking to my wife, Allison, just before she starts her day at Toronto General - it means so much to us all that a doctor gets some much-needed rest thanks to her being there. And of course the same goes for the rest of our N.L. team on the COVID-19 frontline. #TeamCanada

    Big moment for Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and Ukraine as the first full flight of Ukrainian refugees arrives right here in our beautiful province. Welcome. #WeStandWithUkraine 🇨🇦🇺🇦

    Allison and I are having the most amazing night with our daughters. ‘This night is sparkling’, and seeing their joy and excitement makes this dad cherish every moment with my Swiftie teenagers.

    I join Canadians across the country condemning the unjustified tariffs the U.S. introduced on Canadian products entering the American market. These taxes will be paid by Americans, hurting people in both countries.
