So encouraged by yesterday’s shoulder-to-shoulder march with workers, unions, and community members in Toronto’s Labour Day March.
Labour Day is more than a holiday — it’s a reminder of the hard-fought victories of workers and the ongoing struggle for fair wages, safe working conditions, and respect on the job.
In Parkdale–High Park, we see the strength of our labour movement every day — from frontline healthcare workers and educators to transit operators, retail staff, and skilled tradespeople — all working to keep our communities thriving.
As your MPP, I will continue to fight at Queen’s Park for good jobs, stronger protections against Trump’s tariffs, and a province where no worker is left behind.

This Labour Day feels different.
Trump’s tariffs and chaos are threatening our economy. Doug Ford is still cutting services and making life harder for working families. And Ontarians are left paying the price.
At a time of uncertainty, we need leadership that’s all in for workers and all in for labour. ✊

🚨 URGENT CALL TO ALL WORKERS: DEFEND AIR CANADA CUPE COMPONENT WORKERS’ RIGHT TO STRIKE 🚨
Where: Toronto Pearson International Airport, Terminal 1
When: 9:00 AM, Tomorrow - August 17
The federal government is moving to trample the Charter-protected right to strike forcing binding arbitration and back-to-work orders that strip workers of free and fair collective bargaining.
This is unconstitutional government overreach. If they get away with it here, this sets a dangerous precedent.
✊🏾Join the labour movement at Toronto Pearson. Solidarity with Air Canada flight attendants. Defend the right to strike.

The Liberal govt is again using s. 107 of the Canada Labour Code to order workers back to work. This is a blatant misuse of that section and is being challenged in court. They should recall Parliament and democratically debate back to work legislation if they feel it’s justified.

1/ Between workers who are demanding fair pay and a rich corporation that forces them to do hours of unpaid work, the Liberals sided with the corporation.
Is that what Canadians voted for? 🤔

We’ve lost a remarkable New Democrat in Janusz Dukszta, who represented Parkdale in the Ontario Legislature from 1971–81.
Over the past few days, friends have been sharing memories of his deep love for the arts and the courage it took to stand up for LGBTQ2S+ rights and reproductive freedom — even when it came at a personal cost.
In the early 1980s, he was targeted in nasty anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion campaigns, including a city-wide effort against NDP MPPs who supported adding sexual orientation to the Ontario Human Rights Code, and another attacking his backing of OHIP coverage for abortions. Decades later, these protections are now firmly enshrined in our laws.
After leaving politics, Janusz returned to medicine, serving as head of medical staff at Queen Street Mental Health Centre, and never stopped championing the Canadian art scene.
He leaves behind a legacy of courage, creativity, and integrity. My deepest condolences to his friends, family, and everyone who knew him, loved him, and was inspired by his life and work.

The Ontario NDP is reiterating our call for greater supports for Palestinian refugees fleeing genocide in Gaza. We are urging Canada to uphold its obligations under international law to take meaningful steps to end the suffering of Palestinian civilians. As the Official Opposition Shadow Minister for Citizenship and Multiculturalism, I have shared our call to action with Premier Ford and PM Carney on behalf of our caucus.

We'll bring in real rent control, protect renters from bad landlords, and tackle the housing crisis.
The other guys? They'll do what they've always done: add fuel to the crisis so their rich friends and donors can keep cashing in.
