Once again, our community has been shaken by a violent home invasion—one that forced a homeowner to defend their family inside their own home. I want to thank @YRP for their swift response. No one should ever be put in that position, and I am thankful that the homeowner has not

I want to thank Premier @fordnation for taking action by instructing the Attorney General to seek an injunction to prevent the Al-Quds Day rally. This is a critical moment in our province and country, and leaders at all levels need to be decisive in defence of Jewish Canadians

As Mayor of the first municipality in Canada to approve a bubble zone bylaw protecting all vulnerable social infrastructure, including places of worship, I am encouraged to hear that Premier @fordnation is exploring taking similar action at the provincial level. And I also

On behalf of the City of Vaughan, I want to thank Chief Jim MacSween for his years of dedicated service and steadfast leadership. Throughout some of the most challenging moments facing our community, Chief MacSween led with strength, integrity and resolve. Under his leadership,

I understand many residents have been feeling frustrated as their power has been impacted over the last several days across Vaughan. I share your concerns as my own neighbourhood has also been affected. I have been in touch with Alectra (our electrical utility) conveying

The news coming out of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, is absolutely heartbreaking. My thoughts, prayers and deepest condolences are with the families and friends of the victims. I’ve asked for flags at all City of Vaughan facilities to be lowered to half-mast in memory of those

We know that Iranians in Iran and abroad have had enough of this current illegitimate government and I am counting down days before we are able to provide some closure to the families of the victims and to finally be rid of the Regime.

Iran continues to refuse any responsibility or accountability for the anguish it caused the international community, including the families of those murdered on that flight.

Six years ago, the Islamic Regime of Iran illegally shot down flight PS752 killing 176 people, including many Canadians.

To the people of Iran: you are not alone. We all stand with you and are rooting for you as you fight for justice and a better life. I remain hopeful that brighter days lie ahead.

As our Jewish residents prepare to mark the start of Chanukah, our hearts are heavy with the horrific news from Australia of the innocent people who were murdered in a brutal terrorist attack. Please see my statement below.

I have been in touch with @YRP this morning. As always, they are taking every precaution to ensure that our residents are safe.

I remain committed to doing all that we can at the municipal level — and to working with all elected officials — to help get this right and to keep Vaughan residents safe.

Today’s announcement to tighten bail requirements is an important step toward ensuring repeat offenders are held accountable and that our communities are protected. Fixing a system that has long been broken will take all levels of government working together.

Safety is a top priority for me. I want to express my sincere thanks to Premier @fordnation for taking meaningful action to strengthen our criminal justice system.

I thank @YRP for identifying and arresting individuals responsible for the horrific murder of Aleem Farooqi in his home this past August. This senseless act shattered a family and shook our entire community — we continue to grieve with the Farooqi family.

We know that too many criminals have access to illegal guns and a "no consequence" criminal justice system. This must change urgently, starting with the approval of new federal laws that were introduced last week.
