Today my colleague and seatmate was asked to leave the Legislature for asking the Premier to speak the truth! Here is his question that he didn't get to ask. @solmamakwa I’m proud to stand with you in this fight for truth.

We cannot remain silent.
We must find the courage to speak out against genocide.
My colleague Doly Begum did just that today.
A call to concience we all must hear.

ALT ENDORSED to defeat Doug Ford's PCs in Scarborough Southwest Doly Begum NDP - Incumbent - Riding history - Past Electoral Results - Community connections - Good ground game - Polling trends to date We endorsed Doly Begum in 2022 because of her incumbency and her phenomenal ground game, even though the professional pollsters predicted a toss-up. When she won the riding again, it wasn't even close. We expect it to stay safely in her hands. Need to defend Low 2022 Election results shows a bar graph with a blue bar indicated PC results, and an Orange, Red and Green bar showing combined Opposition results. NotOneSeat.ca

🚨 While my friend @ReyanNaim is caring for his mother in palliative care, he is calling on us to sign this petition to help bring his brother from Lebanon so his family can reunite one last time before their mother dies. 💔 Sign & share. chng.it/bd2KgNRtqy

There is lots happening in First Nations like states of emergencies.
The government expects economic reconciliation without properly addressing longstanding concerns from First Nations.
Today, Chief Sheri Taylor of Ginoogaming First Nation delivered a letter to Premier Doug Ford outlining the First Nation's concerns about the government's approach to mining and resource extraction in their territory.

Wearing cultural & national clothing items in our Assembly is something we should be proud of. It is part of the story of who we are as a province. Palestinians are part of that story, and the keffiyeh is significant not only to them but to many in the Arab and Muslim community.
Doly Begum retweeted
We must make it clear to everyone who works in and visits our provincial legislature that all cultures will be treated with equal respect. Read my letter here:

We've unearthed documents revealing the Ford Conservative's secret plans for "Phase 2" at Ontario Place....
They'll override any law, pave over our lakefront , give away millions of $$, to benefit their insider friends while Ontarians struggle

I've warned the Ford Conservatives about this for months... as have our hospitals.
Time and again I've heard from hospitals struggling to make payroll because they are hemorrhaging health dollars to private staff agencies.
The govt knows what to do. They are making a choice not to take action.

Canada should be actively advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza, prioritizing peace and diplomacy instead of military interventions. The Trudeau Liberals have deviated so far from Canada's values.
We must champion peace and advocate for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Palestine.
It's imperative that our workers are treated with fairness and provided equitable working conditions. Workers at the Chapters @929union_ at Kennedy Commons were unjustly let go without adequate severance, transfer options, or benefits on the eve of Christmas.

The @NDP is calling on the Liberals to ban entry to Canada to extremist settlers involved in attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank.
The US, UK and EU are sanctioning extremist settlers – it’s time for @MelanieJoly and @MarcMillerVM to do the same.

As US, UK and EU move to sanction violent Israeli settlers, Canada hangs back. cbc.ca/news/politics/gaza-is…

The last time we had two consecutive minority Parliaments with the NDP holding the balance of power, Tommy Douglas brought us our healthcare system. Now @theJagmeetSingh and the NDP have brought us the CDCP.
Honoured to take part in this announcement on behalf of the NDP!
