My heart is heavy hearing of the tragic school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, BC. To the families grieving unimaginable loss and to a community shaken by violence, please know that you are not alone. People across NL and across this country, are holding you in our hearts. 1/2

I want to thank Paddy Daly for his time hosting Open Line and for consistently making space for important conversations. Paddy wasn’t afraid to push on the issues that matter, and he always treated callers with respect and fairness. 1/2 @VOCMOpenline

It’s actually the Conservatives who are giving the Liberals a majority. Two Con floor crossers to the Libs already + one more will seal the deal. Carney’s conservative policies are attracting Conservatives. NDP will provide principled, progressive opposition.
I don't know what the future plans are for the NDP but my family who are all NDP voters shaking in their boots with worry that the NDP will give the Liberals a majority. If that happens everyone of my family will abandon the NDP and vote for the Conservatives. Don't you dare

I had an excellent time at @HospitalityNL's Holiday Reception this past week. I had some great conversations about the success of our tourism industry and how we can build on that momentum by strengthening and growing it to attract more people to our province.

My thoughts are with the Jewish community after the horrific antisemitic attack at a Hanukkah event in Australia. Violence born of hate doesn’t stop with those who experience it firsthand; its consequences are felt across communities and beyond borders. 1/3

No one should ever fear for their safety while celebrating their faith or gathering with loved ones. This moment requires us to stand firmly against antisemitism and all forms of hate. 2/3

I had a wonderful morning attending a Tea and Chat with Ms. Williams’ Social Studies class at Brother Rice Junior High. We discussed the role of an MHA, the responsibilities that come with public service, and the importance of supporting the people we represent.

Thank you, @HMcPhersonNDP, for meeting with the NL NDP Caucus to advance our shared work of supporting and amplifying the voices of working families in our province and across the country. Collaboration means a better deal for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. @NDP @NLNDP
It was nice to see the NDP MHAs in Newfoundland and Labrador again, yesterday. They’re working hard to bring more voices to the table, and deliver for working people. We spoke about how the National Party can work with the provinces to deliver for people. @JimDinn

My heart goes out to the workers and the entire community of St. Mary’s after the devastating loss of the fish plant last night. This is a difficult time for so many, but I have every confidence in the strength, resilience, and compassion that define our communities.

My sincere congratulations to Kate White and the Yukon NDP on being elected as the Official Opposition last night. Now more than ever, strong New Democratic voices are needed to stand up for people, demand accountability, and fight for a fair and equitable future.
