When I ran for city council the first time, insiders told me it was impossible. They underestimated what a girl from York South-Weston can do. Folks here don’t quit. When we get knocked down, we get right back up and keep fighting. This election, it’s time for change! #topoli https://t.co/c5nMCSqNDt

I am honoured to receive the endorsement of the former Mayor of Toronto, David Miller. David’s success in fostering a greener, more equitable and better-connected city are an inspiration for the kind of work I want to do at City Hall. Thank you, David! https://t.co/XejWJSW6CT

It was my pleasure to speak at the @TorontoACORN candidate debate for YSW and an honour to receive their official endorsement last week. Half the city are renters. It’s time we finally sent one of us to represent us at City Hall. It’s time for change! https://t.co/YoWStw4yus

Some laughs, some hugs, some coffee. What’s not to love? I had a great time reconnecting with friends and neighbours at the Weston Village Twilight in the Bandshell event at Memorial Park. Such a great time and place to bring community together with an evening of live music. https://t.co/yZOQAILLMa

We were out bright and early last week wishing students, their parents and teachers a safe and productive school year. 📚 Visiting schools all over the ward, it was great meeting families new to our community as well as some familiar faces cheering us on this election! https://t.co/jtgaEnh9qe

The rent went up how much⁉️ ⚖️ Over half the city and York South-Weston are renters, yet not one city councillor is a tenant. It’s time we had one of us to fight for us at City Hall. Vote for me on October 26th and let’s make history. 💜 It’s time for change! https://t.co/2OIkPXZhkN

This tragedy could have been avoided. Removing the speed cameras made this crosswalk even more unsafe. The cameras should be brought back, but until our Premier smartens up, I’m proposing a raised crosswalk that would force cars to slow down, even when they’re speeding. #topoli https://t.co/xJdpLsLgWw

Nothing moves without workers. I was proud to march beside my fellow workers this Labour Day. We celebrated our hard-won victories, but the fight doesn't stop here. When we stand together as one, we can accomplish anything! #YSW #LabourDay #Solidarity #YorkSouthWeston #TOpoli https://t.co/AtDONcDHxK

When the rain poured today, my mind went straight to our neighbours in Rockcliffe-Smythe facing flooded basements and rising stress. My team and I are checking on residents to ensure they have support after this massive storm. https://t.co/3MVv27z2iM

🔥What’s hotter than the streets of Toronto this summer? The inside of a high-rise apartment with no air conditioning. As future councillor, I’ll fight to pass the Maximum Heat Bylaw and cap indoor temperatures. Our rent should guarantee a comfortable, safe living space. https://t.co/dPmtGCO1uc

☕️ When you’re out every day knocking on doors and talking to folks, you need a lot of energy! 🌮 Luckily, York South-Weston has some of the best spots to refuel in the city of Toronto. Just a few I recently visited: Bắp Bubble Tea Tacontento Ali’s Shawarma Rustic Bakery https://t.co/BNUYNVZa2I

🌊 Rockcliffe-Smythe is one of the worst areas for flooding in the city of Toronto.
 Whenever severe storms hit this neighbourhood, residents face the dual threat of overflowing waterways and overwhelmed sewer systems. 👇 https://t.co/xRRItX0ElB

⚠️Weston & Lawrence is not safe – for cyclists, pedestrians, not even drivers. I was hit by a truck and nearly died here while riding my bike in 2023. Street safety is more than just a campaign issue. For me, it’s personal. It’s time for change! #ysw #yorksouthweston #topoli https://t.co/pNj5j1MwZw

I grew up on the same streets as my father because his parents came to York South-Weston from Italy in search of a better life. It’s a story that I’m reminded of everyday, has shaped me and inspired the work I do every day here in #YSW. #topoli #yorksouthweston https://t.co/Ldllwk1Dgt
