It is with much gratitude & love that I announce that I will not be seeking re-election for City Council in October. I have decided to put my name forward to seek the @OntarioNDP nomination to become the next MPP for Toronto Centre. Read my full letter:

Doug Ford is supported by his caucus and party. If he’s the worst premier ever, then the PC government that is propping him up, is the worst provincial government ever. Why Doug Ford is worse than Mike Harris

Ford brings chaos to the Ontario Place Marina as boaters face eviction for his secret land deal. Since City Planning hasn’t approved the Therme Spa development & the Auditor General may be conducting an investigation, this eviction shouldn’t be enforced.

Ford lost another lawsuit. This is on top of the 14 others he lost since 2018. Hard to keep track. This time courts struck down Ford's anti-Charter campaign finance law. Conservative government to appeal & waste more taxpayer money to defend bad laws.

Did you know that the De Gasperis family Ford is carving up the #Greenbelt for is the same family he sold the Foundry to? Share & help us pressure Ford to reveal what really happened when he tried to demolish the Foundry #OnPoli #TorCen #SaveTheFoundry #RespectLocalPlanning

We have a message for Doug Ford. This is our city, we will not let you steal our democracy without a fight. I love Toronto and it is worth fighting for. #Topoli #OurCityHall #TorCen

Ford’s a persistent combatant who courts division. He blames the Opposition & mainstream media when caught exaggerating or telling untruths. Today’s Greenbelt reversal would’ve never happened without intense pressure from everyone who fought back. Don’t ease up, there’ll be more.

Doug Ford knew about Tanya Granic Allen's bigoted opinions when he accepted her support during the leadership race. He ignored it again when he nominated her. Cutting her lose now doesn't free him or the PCs of hateful politics. It's always about more that just one person.

Tanya Granic Allen, a social conservative, has made disparaging comments about gay marriage, Muslims and Jews. @MariekeWalsh has the story. #onpoli

With the expected sentencing for serial killer McArthur and Quebec City mosque murderer Bissonette, today is almost emotionally unbearable for our Queer and Muslim household. To those struggling today, we see you. You are safe, strong and not alone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈🕌cc @farrahsafiakhan

Children are not chattel. The perversion of Saskatchewan's premier in using the notwithstanding clause to trample the human rights of children for parental approval is wicked and incomprehensible.

As a COVID-vaccinated person, I wrote a deeply personal op-ed about the need to open dialogue with people who have taken a different position about vaccines, including my own elderly parents. My only aim was to promote discourse over divisiveness, and dial down the polarization.
