Real change for Toronto. Pleasure welcoming @BradMBradford to my campaign office grand opening alongside Councillor @PasternakTO. I am honoured to have his support and also proud to support his vision of a safer, more affordable and thriving city.

An honour to share the stage with @Kathleen_Wynne and @NokhaDakroub for a lively discussion on the future of school boards. School board trustees have an important role to play as a local advocate for accountability, student achievement & student wellbeing.

🎙️ A trickle has become a wave, with a growing number of troublesome incidents where ‘woke’ indoctrination has become the norm throughout public schools. How did this infiltration happen, and who is behind it? And no less important, how can parents and the public take it back from the ideologues who had so much success? In this week’s podcast, HonestReporting Canada Assistant Director Robert Walker sits down with @DrPeiTO, a @tdsb school trustee.

In a world of uncertainty, Canada's greatest strength is our trust and reliability. To seize this moment, Prime Minister @stephenharper made the case for unity and speed. On the margins of the investment summit, we met to discuss the urgency to build even faster. In short, to stand up for Canada.

Always meaningful to visit @YorkShelter. I’ve had the privilege of knowing and supporting their work for many years, and I continue to be inspired by the care, dignity and compassion they provide to women and children when they need it most. Proud to stand with this remarkable organization and the people behind it!

A trusted voice and a proven representative for getting things done. Honoured to join four-term Toronto Councillor (and former TDSB Trustee) James @PasternakTO as we canvassed across York Centre, talking with residents about the local issues that matter to them.

Putting students first. Proud to officially launch my re-election campaign for @TDSB Trustee. Since 2022, I have worked to be a strong voice for Toronto families. Excited to continue this advocacy with a renewed focus on student achievement, fairness & accountability.

Great leadership, Robert. School safety and positive relationships between students and law enforcement matter. This is an important conversation for boards like the York Region District School Board and the Toronto District School Board as well.
Today, the YRDSB Policy & Bylaw Standing Committee passed my motion directing staff to prepare a report outlining which policies would need to be amended to potentially restore the School Resource Officer (SRO) program.

A pleasure appearing today before the Standing Committee on Social Policy to speak in support of Bill 101 - an important step toward strengthening student achievement and wellbeing in Ontario schools.

Great joining @tvo host Jeyan on @therundowntvo for a thoughtful conversation on the future of #onted. Now more than ever, the Ontario government and school boards must stay laser-focused on student achievement and well-being. youtube.com/watch?v=UnyGKj6n…

Anthony - you ran a strong race in 2023 and changed the conversations we had about the future of Toronto. I know how much heart you put into it. Whatever you choose to do next, you have my full support. I will always have your back and I am proud to stand with you.
I’ve been asked if I plan to run for Mayor of Toronto in this year’s election, as I had previously said I was considering it. My advisors tell me that my latest polling numbers are actually pretty good for a busy hockey dad who’s been keeping a low profile this year. That said, I don’t feel the time is right for me and I’m going to sit this one out. It was an amazing experience running in the last mayoral race and advocating for common sense policies to improve Toronto for the benefit of all. I’m grateful to all the people who have supported me. Toronto is facing a number of challenges but it remains an amazing city full of wonderful people — a city worth fighting for. While I won’t be running this time, I look forward to contributing in other ways by supporting important causes in the community. I’m sure I’ll be back in the political arena one of these days.

I stand with Iranian Canadians and the people of Iran fighting for freedom and democracy. 🇨🇦 Empty words are complicity. Canada must act. Evil must be confronted—courage must be demanded.
Thousands of Iranian Canadians and other communities gathered in solidarity with the freedom movement in Iran, in north of Toronto. Prime Minister @MarkJCarney and Foreign Affairs Minister @AnitaAnandMP offered only empty words. Too little, too late. More than 700 IRGC terrorists are operating in Canada, posing a direct threat to Canadians. We don’t want empty statements. Shut down all the Islamic centres that whitewash the crimes of the regime. Kick the IRGC terrorists out of Canada. Ban first-degree family members of the regime from entering or remaining in the country. These actions would benefit Canadians and would be the strongest solidarity with the people of Iran. 🇨🇦🦁🌞🫡
