Schomberg remembers.
Canada remembers.
An incredible turnout to honour those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. What struck me were the construction workers across the street who all stopped to pay their respects.
It was quite moving to see. And it makes me deeply proud to be Canadian.
King resident Ernest Townley Watson was born on November 11 and died at just 26 in the fight against tyranny in WWI.
An ordinary young man who made an extraordinary contribution to peace.
We will #RememberThem.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
The leaders of the free world, including Mulroney, Thatcher, and Reagan, came together to defeat that Evil Empire 37 years ago today.
The fall of the #BerlinWall was led by heroic defenders of human dignity and democracy across the former Soviet Bloc. We remember all who perished at the hands of communism.
As U.S. tariffs hammer Canadian steel producers, we’re doubling down on our steel industry and the workers who power it.
To kick-start the economy, we announced $66 million in new contracts across Eastern Ontario to help build the Western world’s first Small Modular Reactor.
That includes contracts for Ontario-made and milled reinforced steel announced with @GeorgesDarouze, @SteveClarkPC, @johnjordan_lfk & @BillytheKidPC.
An intimate gathering of proud Canadians united in Kettleby to remember the veterans who served.
As we head into November 11th, wear a poppy with gratitude for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We owe it to them.
Going LIVE with @BillytheKidPC, @johnjordan_lfk, @GeorgesDarouze & @SteveClarkPC to unveil the next major milestone in building the G7’s first Small Modular Reactor.
We’re turning Ontario’s nuclear first-mover advantage into good-paying jobs and new opportunities across Eastern Ontario 🇨🇦

May the divine light of #Diwali illuminate every home and the spirit of #BandiChhorDivas inspire us all with courage and the true meaning of freedom.
An overflowing mass filled with the power of hope and faith, led by Cardinal Francis Leo @StDavidsMaple.
In a world filled with conflict and division, I was moved by the Cardinal’s unifying reminder that, “we are ONE family.”
Celebrating 30 years of compassion and love @HospiceVaughan.
It was a proud day when we expanded this residential palliative care centre, and even prouder as the community rallies behind the mission for the next 30 years.
Before the U.S. or any G7 nation, it is Ontario and Canada that will build the Western world's first small modular reactor.
Ontario is leading the way by firing up our supply chains as we announced 14 contracts worth $100 million, creating manufacturing jobs across the GTHA.

Going LIVE with @RudyCuzzetto, @davidsmithmpp, @MohamedFirinYSW, @MurphyGallagher, @LoganKanapathi and @DeepakAnandMPP on our plan to create jobs as we build the Western world’s first Small Modular Reactor.

Ontario’s first-ever Mineral Recovery Permit to @STLLRgold streamlines permits to extract residual minerals from legacy mine waste.
A new way of enhancing sustainability, while creating jobs as the company recovers up to 225,000 tonnes of historic mine tailings at the Hollinger site in Timmins.
It was a pleasure to sit down with the company and @GeorgePirieMPP, meeting days after Ontario issued the second permit to keep moving this project forward.
Kate is proudly representing Michael Cranny Elementary School and our community as a Legislative Page.
In the seat of democracy, a King-Vaughan student is making a difference. And so can you.
Thanks for leading by example, Kate!
An important investment as Ontario reaches an inflection point, with new large-scale nuclear projects and mines set to create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs for young Canadians.
We’re preparing the next generation of skilled workers to seize these opportunities.
Learning a trade is one of the best decisions a young person can make.
By 2035, one in six job openings in our province will be in the skilled trades. That’s why we’re investing over $64 million to create 4,000 new apprenticeship training seats each year, giving more young people the opportunity to build rewarding, lifelong careers.
The @enbridgegas Dawn Hub is Canada’s largest natural gas storage facility and one of the largest in North America, playing a critical role in keeping energy affordable and reliable across Ontario.
Our tour with @PinsonneaultLKM and @BobBaileyPC demonstrated its essential value to our economy, as the Dawn Hub helped shield Ontario customers from regional gas prices that surged up to 700% higher during global market volatility.
That’s Made-in-Ontario leadership keeping energy affordable for families, farmers and businesses.
Ontario is on a mission to become the world’s #1 jurisdiction for mining investment.
We kicked off 'Meet the Miners' Day with momentum as we announced @mayfair_gold as the fourth ‘One Project, One Process’ designation, expected to create 700 jobs and add $3B to our GDP. 1/2
In addition to adrrsssing the Board of Directors of @OntMiningAssoc, we also sat down with mining leaders focused on cutting red tape, accelerating permits, and getting mines built and expanded faster.
Thanks @ToddJMcCarthy, @GeorgePirieMPP and @davidsmithmpp for joining this discussion.
We closed with colleagues from all parties at a packed reception celebrating Ontario’s mining leadership with a commitment to usher in new reforms to emerge stronger, more competitive, and self reliant. 2/2

For years, we’ve worked to bring a new medical school to Vaughan, and we’re delivering.
Great to welcome @YorkUniversity’s President Lisa Philipps to Queen’s Park.
Backed by our government’s $55.8M investment, York’s new medical school will train more family doctors as we build a campus of care alongside a new long-term care home and the Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital.
Grateful to @OntariosDoctors for their leadership and partnership as we expand medical schools across Ontario.
This pipeline of next-generation doctors, along with families, will immeasurably benefit from the York School of Medicine in Vaughan.
People often ask why we are moving fast. The answer lies with the students behind me — the next generation.
They are why Ontario just supercharged permit approvals on Canada's newest gold mine @mayfair_gold, creating jobs for 450 young people and a $3B boost to the economy.
A positive way to start the week and the ‘Meet the Miners’ advocacy day at Queen’s Park.
A message of thanks to all of our partners @GeorgePirieMPP, @KevinHollandMPP, @davidsmithmpp, & @OntMiningAssoc for your collaboration as we work to unleash our full economic potential.
