Grateful to welcome two friends, Ward 5 Councillor Andrew Keyes @awkeyes and Niran Jeyanesan @niranjeycpc to my campaign office. Andrew shared insights on how Markham Council and York Regional Council can work better together. Niran brought perspectives from policing, public safety, community service, and his experience as a candidate. Our conversations focused on safer neighbourhoods, stronger support for seniors, and the importance of understanding the different challenges facing every ward. Their advice strengthened my belief that this campaign must stay focused on one thing: Residents first. Practical solutions. Better results. Joe Tay. Right Away! Joetay.ca

An Iranian woman sang without covering her hair. The sentence was 74 lashes. I'd like to know why every "feminist" is silent.

Over 250,000 Iranians and allies marched north of Toronto for a free Iran. United we stand. Divided we fall. The roar for freedom echoes worldwide. A free Iran will benefit everyone except communists and jihadists. 🇨🇦🦁🌞

Planning a night-time walk or bike ride? Remember, it’s getting darker earlier. It is harder for drivers to see you. Wear reflective clothing, stay on sidewalks and use a flashlight on your bike. markham.ca/WalkingAndCycling
