Police officers put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe. The least we can do in response is have their backs, no matter what. Today, I wrote to the Prime Minister outlining a series of practical steps to support and protect our brave women and men in uniform.

Our government is protecting Ontario as we navigate these challenging times, brought on by unwarranted U.S. tariffs. We will continue to invest in services for families, workers and businesses but we must do so in a manner that is disciplined, focused and respects taxpayers.

Today, Minister @PBethlenfalvy and I were pleased to release the 2025-26 Public Accounts that show we invested $10B more than the previous fiscal year in healthcare, education, infrastructure and other core services Ontarians depend on.

I can’t thank the incredible firefighting personnel in northern Ontario enough for their heroic work protecting people and communities impacted by the wildfires. We’re making every resource available to support their efforts and keep people safe. Since 2018, we’ve invested $1.5 billion to fight wildfires and hire more personnel, with another $650 million to expand Ontario’s fleet of firefighting aircraft.

More than 150 fire crews and nearly 50 firefighting aircraft are working around the clock to protect communities from the fires in northern Ontario. Our government won’t spare a penny to support their heroic work, and we’re doubling down with historic investments in new firefighting crews and equipment to keep Ontario safe.

Get ready for a brand new Ontario Place. We’re building Ontario Place into a vibrant, year-round waterfront destination, with more than 50 acres of free public parks, a new Ontario Science Centre and world-class, family friendly attractions.

The new Finch West LRT is officially open! It's part of Ontario's nearly $70 billion investment in the largest transit expansion in North America - including the biggest subway expansion in Canadian history. Let's get riding! 🚈🚆

.@Yvan_Baker calls himself a "straight shooter" but he's not being straight with his constituents. During his time in politics, his government closed 7 jails! We are fixing that, adding 10 jails and 1,000 new beds across Ontario.

The Supreme Court just struck down the one-year mandatory minimum for child porn possession. Let that sink in. Instead of protecting our children, they're making it easier for predators to walk free. This isn’t justice, it’s a disgrace.

Years of inaction. Endless excuses. Do your job, Yvan. Table meaningful bail reform and make Etobicoke Centre safer. Your constituents are watching.
MPP Kinga Surma is misleading you about my work to fight crime and is trying to deflect and evade responsibility for provincial government inaction. This level of misinformation and defamation from an elected official in Etobicoke Centre is unprecedented and can not go unchallenged. Stopping crime has been one of my top priorities. I have been working with federal, provincial and municipal government leaders to do just that. At the federal level I have been pushing for longer sentences, stricter bail laws, and additional funding for police. I have also met with many of you on this matter in person, on the phone, or in a town hall setting. I have even spoken with Premier Ford about this.

"At the federal level I have been pushing for longer sentences, stricter bail laws..." Your party *is* the governing party. Either you haven't been pushing for "longer sentences, stricter bail laws" or you aren't very good at it. Either way, it's a failure. "No matter what the federal government does to strengthen bail laws and the criminal code, if the province does not...." The mental gymnastic required to make that statement should win you a gold. The feds need to strengthen bail laws and the criminal code. Not doing your job because others might not do theirs is a pathetic excuse. #BailReform

Our government led by Premier @fordnation, supported every step of the way by @kingasurmaMPP, will never apologize for being tough on crime.  Our actions speak when others are silent.      ✅ $116 million Bail Grant & Bail Dashboard ✅ $51 million Auto Theft Grant ✅ 2,080 new police officers across the province this year ✅ 1,000 new beds coming online in our jails in the coming year @Yvan_baker, the Liberal MP from Etobicoke Centre, gets the facts wrong.  For 6 years in Ottawa, he is missing in action when it comes to the safety of our province. The revolving door of violent criminals out on bail, and illegal crime guns coming across the border, are a direct result of failed policies he supported. Ontarians know that when it comes to fighting crime, having the backs of everyone that dons a uniform, and fighting hard for #bailreform, it is our government that meets the moment. That’s the difference.   @douglasdowney @zeeinmilton @MichaelTibollo

As PA to Finance you left the provincial justice system in shambles. We have had to do more than our share to get the system on track. We have added extra Associate Judges and 100s of millions to make up for your shortfall. Time to reverse your destructive policies. #BailReform

Through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program, the @ONgov is strengthening communities across Ontario. Proud to join the grand opening of the Cudmore Creek Wetland & Trailhead, supported by $1.2M in provincial funding to enhance public spaces & sustainability.
