Bonne journée des Franco-Ontariens et des Franco-Ontariennes!
I want to wish a very happy Franco-Ontarian day to Ontario’s French-speaking community, as we celebrate Franco-Ontarian culture and community across the province.
Le vert et le blanc sont à l’honneur partout en Ontario! 💚🤍
En cette Journée des Franco-Ontariens et des Franco-Ontariennes, je célèbre les communautés qui font vivre notre langue, notre culture et nos traditions, génération après génération.
Aux jeunes, aux familles, aux nouveaux arrivants, aux artistes, aux entrepreneurs et à toutes les personnes qui choisissent de vivre en français : merci de contribuer chaque jour à l’avenir de notre francophonie.

Our government is getting drivers in #AuroraOakRidgesRichmondHill moving faster.
We’ve increased the speed limit to 110 km/h on Highways 400, 404 and 407, making travel faster and more consistent for drivers in our community.
Under Premier Ford’s leadership, we’re keeping our promise to get Ontario moving.

In the face of U.S. tariffs, we’re building a more self-reliant agri-food sector to grow and make more food right here at home.
Today, Ontario’s food and beverage manufacturing sector alone supports 126,000 jobs, contributing $13.6 billion to our economy every year.

I’m disgusted by the shooting that took place outside the Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville earlier this evening as Jewish community members gathered to mark Yom Kippur.
My thoughts are with the Jewish community in Belleville and across Ontario, who have every right to gather and worship safely and without fear. I expect that all those responsible are arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
My thoughts are also with the police officer who was shot, along with their family and loved ones. We owe an immense debt of gratitude to this brave officer and to all the first responders who acted so quickly to keep the community safe.

This weekend, I joined Mayor Mrakas, MPP Gallagher Murphy and residents of Aurora at this year's Aurora Legion Annual Candlelight Vigil and Drumhead Service, paying respects to the veterans who made it home from conflict and have since passed away.
Thank you to President Stephen Boyne, Vice President Bonnie Robertson and everyone at the Aurora Legion for organizing these events, and for continuing to honour the memories of those who have served.

We're making housing more affordable by:
🏠 Removing the full 13% HST from new homes
🏗️ Cutting development costs to help build homes faster and more affordably
Together, these measures could save homebuyers up to $200,000 off the cost of a new home.
