A motivating day with students from @ontariotech_u all working in the nuclear sector at @Bruce_Power this summer. Women are leading the charge. @fordnation , @samoosterhoff and I have never been more confident in the future, knowing that we are creating 150,000 good jobs for

Tunnelling is now underway on the Ontario Line, a major milestone in delivering fast, reliable transit for the GTA. ✅ 15 stations ✅ 230,000 people connected ✅ 4,700 jobs supported ✅ Up to 40 minutes saved on commutes

As New York gets ready to select a site for new nuclear, Ontario is well positioned to support small modular reactors and large-scale nuclear deployment. A landmark agreement signed in December between @fordnation and @KathyHochul leverages Ontario’s proven on-time and on-budget
New York state expects to select a community this year to host at least 1 gigawatt of new nuclear energy, signaling a push to accelerate reactor development as electricity demand climbs.

Prime Minister @stephenharper always challenged the status quo and championed Canadian resources. It’s a model we are emulating in Ontario as part of our discussions with mining leaders on our plan to transform Canada into an energy superpower. Because our greatest defence
