    Our government let the City of Victoria know that we are willing and able to give Sir John A. Macdonald's statue a home in Ontario. History matters and we need to acknowledge the important role Sir John A. Macdonald played in Canada's and Ontario's history.

    Spread the word! Starting Jan. 1, Ontarians will be able to visit pharmacies across the province to receive treatment for common ailments at no cost. Expanding the ability of pharmacists to provide care is one way we’re making it more convenient to access care in the community.

    It is my true privilege to become Ontario’s Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. I am deeply grateful to Premier @fordnation for this honour and to Minister @celliottability for seeing this portfolio so successfully through some of our province’s hardest days.

    Ontarians agree: the status quo isn't working. That's why we're increasing access to community surgical and diagnostic centres so you can get the care you need sooner. All you need is your health card. Learn more about our three-step plan: news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…

    This holiday season, I’ll be thinking of the heroes working to keep us safe - the nurses, police, firefighters, corrections officers, soldiers, healthcare professionals, and so many more. 👩‍⚕️ 👮 👨‍🚒 Who is your #HolidayHero? 🎄

    Please see my statement in response to the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station emergency alert. There was no incident at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station that should have triggered public notification. Nor was there ever any danger to the public or environment.

    Every Ontarian should be proud of the heroic men and women of the @CanadianForces. Our government will build a memorial in honour of the brave Canadian soldiers who fought in Afghanistan. We’ll never forget the sacrifice of our soldiers, veterans, and their families.

    My heart breaks for Riya Rajkumar and her family. Thank you to the @PeelPoliceMedia, @OPP and all Ontarian's who increased their vigilance upon hearing this little girl was missing. Nothing is more urgent than finding a missing child - I'm glad we have the #AmberAlert system.

    I cannot believe anyone, regardless of their political affiliation, thinks the comment made by @GailVazOxlade is appropriate. @Twitter how about a review and suspension?

    We have received our first limited shipment of bivalent vaccines. Our most vulnerable, including long-term care residents and health care workers will receive these doses first. More information about when others can book appointments will be available in the coming days.

    Proud to stand with @fordnation and our government to support our frontline police officers. We will continue working together to keep our communities safe while respecting the work these brave men and women do each every day.

    A highly-skilled health care worker from BC or Nova Scotia shouldn’t face barriers to practice here in Ontario. That's why our government is proposing changes that will increase the number of health care workers providing care closer to home. Learn more: news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…

    When a gunman opened fire on the Danforth on July 22, the brave @TorontoPolice raced towards danger to protect their fellow citizens. I'll be writing Chief @marksaunderstps to put forward names of two officers in particular for the ON Medal of Police Bravery for their conduct.
