Fantastic to welcome @TimHoustonNS to @amazonca’s new home in N.S. Breaking ground for our new fulfillment centre is an important milestone for us- and for our Canadian customers. Thank you Premier, for your support and friendship. What a welcome!
Global companies are realizing there's opportunity to grow their business in Nova Scotia. A new Amazon facility under construction in Dartmouth will bring more than 1000 new, full-time jobs here to the province. All while enabling faster deliveries for consumers. More jobs. More opportunities for Nova Scotians. Good news for our province.

Y'know, I hate to say it but Canadian political commentary is just... not very good.

BEY is one of many recent examples. In so many ridings, the basic principle of openness in nominations is being forgotten. Each time one of these sham nominations happen, we shut people out of participation in our democracy.

I’m genuinely confused about what the message actually is here.
I’m supporting my friend @BradMBradford for Mayor of Toronto. I think He’s right for our city. His focus on crime, congestion, and cost of living will make us a competitive city globally. We did this fun video to see how many Torontonians actually know Brad. Do you know Brad?

Terrific evening with @CaledonCS last night, as we announced @amazonca’s 2026 partnership. Thank you to the team and volunteers at CCS for your trust and friendship. And- it’s always a pleasure to see Deputy Premier @SylviaJonesMPP, who helped make this event a great success!

Just wait and see.
Very funny to me personally that people I first met when I was posting through the Rob Ford years at City Hall are moving up in major politics.

A sure sign the mayoral race is getting another entrant @ChrisSpoke
I’m on a strict once-a-decade headshot schedule. See y’all in 2036!

Just digested 🇨🇦's 2025 Budget- and honestly, this is the kind of generational plan we need. Here's why I think its a forward-looking, responsible bet for our future at this hinge moment for our country...

Bottom line- contrary to what some have said- this isn't a budget that blindly spends. It's a strategic, long-term investment in 🇨🇦's resilience, productivity and sovereignty. Its not just a budget for today- its a blueprint for tomorrow. I'm in. #buildcanadastrong #Budget2025

A true priest and shepherd. #francis
He governed a Catholic Church of over a billion people, but his real job was one person at a time. That's one reason he was considered the "cold call Pope." Terry Moran recounts the story of Andrea Rubera, a gay man from Italy who wrote a letter to Pope Francis — and heard back.

Good riddance. Onwards! #liberal
The consumer carbon tax is not working. It’s become too divisive — at a time when Canada needs to be united. As my government’s first order of business, I have cancelled it.

Thrilled to celebrate the opening of @amazonca’s newest delivery station in Richmond Hill, ON. Thanks to all partners who made this terrific asset come to life!
Thrilled to announce the opening of @amazon's new delivery station in Richmond Hill! The nearly 225,000 square foot facility is where employees will sort, scan, & prep packages for delivery to local customers & scale to deliver hundreds of thousands of packages over the holidays!

Thrilled that @amazonca is continuing our partnership with @VanFamServices’ Directions youth program. I’m thoroughly impressed by the programming and care for BC youth. Looking forward to working together!

This was illuminating. I've always been impressed by @DSkilleter- intelligence, professionalism (+and soccer skills lol). Solid interview explaining one of Canada's biggest blindspots.
It will surprise exactly no one that I'm a huge fan boy of @TheAgenda, so being asked to go on and discuss our new report 'Billionaire Blindspot' was super exciting. Link to full report 👇 socialcapitalpartners.ca/scp…

Very pleased to meet @BonnieCrombie and @JohnFraserOS yesterday to discuss the contribution of non-profit homebuilders like @HabitatGTA to Ontario’s housing system. So encouraged by the support!
Non-profit organizations play a critical role in the construction of housing across Ontario, and we need to make it easier for them get shovels in the ground. Thank you @HabitatGTA for stopping by today, and for taking the time to discuss how Ontario Liberals can support your mission to ensure everyone has a safe and decent place to live. #onpoli
