The choice is clear: Ford’s chaos or a government that actually works for you. Let’s unite for change and elect a leader who puts Ontarians first. #MoreForYou #TeamColleen – at Kitchener, Ontario

Out last night for @ROH_1967 Coldest Night of the Year. With 2300+ people experiencing homelessness in Waterloo, it’s so important to raise awareness and funds to help the most vulnerable in our community. Thanks to everyone who came out or supported! #cnoy25❄ – at Kitchener, Ontario

Actions speak louder than words, we have a plan to end chronic homelessness in this region, informed by community over 100 orgs, no MPPs endorsed. Our reps should be advocating for Provincial support, not putting it on the local tax base. It's a solutions based approach.

Two-way, all-day GO was a Liberal promise from 2018—until Ford stalled it. I've heard these talks for years. This would have been done in 2024. It was called the Regional Express Rail Service to Kitchener. news.ontario.ca/en/release/4…

Right now, we need to focus on what we can control here in Ontario — and how we make sure we are stronger coming out of this than we were going in. My plan is to get the basics right for the people of Ontario.

"Because of Ford’s wrong priorities, people across our province are already struggling. They are worried about how they will pay rent and afford groceries. They are afraid of what will happen if they get sick. And now they are worried about losing their jobs too."
Donald Trump has declared war on us. On our workers, our jobs, our factories and our people. In the face of such a devastating threat – with hundreds of thousands of jobs hanging by a thread – we need a premier who puts our people first. And his own politics last.  But that is not what we have in Doug Ford. He called this election knowing this day might come. Gambling with people's livelihoods in the hopes it would win him more votes.  We should not be in this election. But this is Ontario’s opportunity to choose change that will put the real people of this province first. Because of Ford’s wrong priorities, people across our province are already struggling. They are worried about how they will pay rent and afford groceries. They are afraid of what will happen if they get sick. And now they are worried about losing their jobs too. We need to fight back. We need to grow stronger by getting the basics right here at home.

Tougher than a lion, I'll stop where the sky ends. I'm fighting for: ✔️Housing & Affordability redefined ✔️A healthcare system that is stable ✔️Better educational funding and supports for educators ✔️A new financial model for municipalities #moreforyou

Our ROP, heavily informed by community has been disrespected. For what...power and control! Read between the lines, this election is much bigger than many realize. Executive marching orders have been in play all along. With a Bonnie led government this madness will stop!

For 3 yrs I've seen first hand the destruction this government has had on communities. 180M downloaded to the region/tax payers to pay for things the province should be covering! Money wasted on beer while councils and communities are left scrambling. Enough is enough.

If you are going away and concerned about not being able to vote, you have options 👇🏾
I'm hearing from people who are caught by surprise with this snap election and are worried they won't be able to vote because of travel plans they'd already made for election day. Don't stress – you have options! Visit Elections Ontario. #onpoli elections.on.ca/en/voting-in…

We’re excited to introduce you to our Campaign Co-Chairs, Doctor Rose Zacharias and Toronto’s Former Deputy Chief of Police, Peter Yuen! Dr. Zacharias and Mr. Yuen bring decades of hands-on experience in health care and fighting crime. Exactly the kind of leadership Ontario needs after being abandoned by Doug Ford when Ontario is under threat.

The region spent 349k on physician recruitment in 2024. Ford is spending more than 200 million to put alcohol in gas stations! Under @OntLiberal government, we will give our crumbling healthcare system the attention & support it deserves. 🧵👇🏾 #moreforyou #teambonnie
Why is Ontario the only province holding an election right now? #onpoli
