Thank you Lambton-Kent-Middlesex. It's been the honour of my life to serve as your MPP. You sent me to Queen's Park 12 years ago - October 6, 2011. Today is our last, together, on this journey. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference. I'm forever grateful.

Stop telling every young person to go to university.
Careers in the skilled trades are lucrative, meaningful, and you can be your own boss.
There's as much merit in being an electrician, chef, or arborist, as there is in being a banker or a professor.
