Dear Neighbour,
2024 has been an incredibly eventful year. Let's look back on everything we did together.
As always, it is an honour to fight for you and our communities,
p.s. We are nearly at our fundraising goal — can you help us get over the finish line?
Dear Emma,
The new year has come in like a lion! We may now be facing a provincial and federal election before the month of May. Now is the time to hold on to your hats, stay informed, and get involved in your local communities.
As I’m sure you have heard by now, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that he will resign. He has also prorogued, or suspended, parliament until March 24. After that date, a federal election could happen at any point, especially since both Jagmeet Singh and Pierre Polievre have said they will table non-confidence motions as soon as possible and will not vote to support the government.
The NDP have done incredible work at the federal level over the past several years, bringing dental care and pharmacare to Canadians. Our federal party did the hard work of starting up those programs to bring dental care and access to medications to those who need it the most. These programs represent the most significant expansion to our healthcare system since Medicare and bring us several steps closer to true universal healthcare. The NDP also passed the Early Learning and Child Care Act to lower the price of child care along with anti-scab and sustainable jobs legislation to protect workers. These strides would never have occurred if the NDP had not held the threat of an election over the Liberals every day. All of those measures were opposed by both Liberals and Conservatives until the NDP forced the Liberals to enact them.
However, the NDP never intended the supply and confidence agreement to last forever. Eventually, the Liberals showed their true colours, as they always do, and the NDP couldn't look past their scandals and mistakes. It is time for a new government in Ottawa, and I am so glad that the NDP has already shown the kind of caring and effective government they will be.
At the same time as all of this drama is taking place at the Federal government, President-elect Trump is threatening to slap massive 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, providing Doug Ford with the cover he needs to seek a new mandate from Ontarians and send us back to the polls. This could happen any day now, as it is advantageous to Ford to have Ontarians go to the polls before the Federal election begins. But all of this is pure speculation. Only Ford and his insiders know when Ontarians will go to the polls.
Regardless of what the government decides, the Ontario NDP caucus and I are ready to run a campaign filled with positive, practical and ready-to-go solutions. The only thing that would make our campaign in Toronto Centre better is YOU!
Campaigns run on people power. I would love to see each and every one of you out knocking on doors with me. Let’s tell your friends and family about the significant policies of the Ontario NDP. Speak out on social media about the importance of getting out the vote, especially for first time voters. Let’s work together to elect the Ontario NDP and fix the things that has been broken by 30 years of Liberal and Conservative rule in the province.
Amidst all of this turmoil, we also need to take a moment to gather with our friends and neighbours. In that spirit, I’d love for you to join me in celebrating the possibilities of the year ahead at my New Year’s Levee.
Here are the details for your calendar:
When: Sunday, January 26, 2025
Time: 2 – 4 PM
Where: Daniels Spectrum
585 Dundas Street East
Toronto, ON M5A 2B7
We’ll have a selection of refreshments and snacks. The venue is wheelchair accessible, including washrooms.
Let’s celebrate the year ahead, including the Lunar New Year, with hope, positivity, and our shared power to create change. I can’t wait to see you there.
Yours in community service,

| Jarvis Collegiate Repair Backlogs |
On Thursday, I returned to Jarvis Collegiate with ONDP Leader Marit Stiles and Trustee Dee Williams. Principal Stephen Bain highlighted the vibrant school community and revitalized the library and gym.
Ontario students deserve safe, fully operational and staffed schools so that they can receive the best education and learn about all career paths. I am so grateful to the principal, educators, and students we met, especially the grade 10 civics class, who are passionate about politics and asked the best questions!
We also observed important facilities that have been shut down for a decade or more, including two science labs, a greenhouse, an art room and a full industrial kitchen. Ontario’s Fiscal Watchdog, the Financial Accountability Office, warned in their December report that the Ford government was underfunding capital repairs needed in schools by $12.7 billion. What we saw at Jarvis CI is symptomatic of chronic Liberal and Conservative government underfunding in public education, leading to 85% of TDSB schools falling below the state of good repair.
| Supporting Small Business - Wanda’s Pie In The Sky |
Wanda’s Pie in the Sky is a longtime and beloved bakery in Kensington Market. I’ve known the owners, David and Wanda Beaver, for years. In fact, they used to be one of my suppliers when I owned a Timothy’s World Coffee franchise on Church Street. They’re responsible business people and exceptional pie makers. So when they reached out for assistance in December to correct an issue with City Hall, I was happy to lend my support as the Small Business Critic for the Ontario NDP.
At issue was an addition built during the pandemic to provide safe distancing for indoor dining. City Hall at that time was gripped with delivering rapid responses on critical issues during the extended state of emergency. Issuing permits was not one of the urgent core functions as City Council redeployed planning, building, transportation staff to shelter, housing and public health departments to fight the spread of COVID-19.
Caught in the middle of all this was Wanda’s Pie in the Sky who has been ordered to take down an expensive addition. Except the City’s notices were sent to their landlord and property owner but never forwarded to Wanda’s Pie as the commercial tenants. I asked David and Wanda not to tear down the addition, so we can work with the City to find an alternative solution. Thanks to Mayor Olivia Chow’s personal involvement, City staff will now be working with Wanda’s Pie to conditionally approve the addition. This is a big win! Thank you to everyone who came out to sign the petition, call their Councillor, enjoy a slice of pie, and support Wanda’s Pie in the Sky. It’s a great Toronto news story for the start of 2025!

2024 in Review |
2024 was a huge year, and I am so proud of all we have accomplished together as a community. At the end of last year, my team and I put together a year in review to capture all of the big events. You can view the entire thing here.
A few of my favourite moments of the year include when we:
I am looking forward to everything that 2025 has in store! I know it will be a year of bringing community voices forward, fighting for access to justice, and bringing forward new ideas to make our neighbourhoods stronger.
| Regent Park Community Centre’s Pancake Breakfast |
Thank you to the City staff and volunteers at the Regent Park Community Centre for cooking up a delicious pancake and waffle breakfast for the neighbourhood. It was so much fun to make waffles and chat with everyone who attended.
The breakfast was about connection, community, and belonging for everyone during the winter season. Let’s keep showing up for one another this new year - it's what community is all about!

Ford Fails on Housing and Homelessness |
On Thursday, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) published its Municipalities Under Pressure Report, a searing indictment of the conservative government’s inaction on homelessness.
We in Toronto Centre know the realities of encampments and homelessness. We see our neighbours out in the cold every day. Each person sleeping unsheltered is a failure of government, and yet this conservative government doesn’t have any concrete plan to tackle homelessness. I have asked the government over and over to produce this plan, and they have refused.
The number of unhoused Ontarians grew by 25% over the past two years, with more than 81,000 people identified as experiencing homelessness in 2024. Without significant intervention, that number is expected to triple by 2035.
A future in which hundreds of thousands of people live without stable housing should be unimaginable in a province as prosperous as Ontario, but instead, it is a very real possibility.
Luckily, the Ontario NDP does have a homelessness plan and is committed to making meaningful investments in mental health care, taking back provincial responsibility for shelters and homelessness prevention programs, and building affordable and supportive housing.
| Pride Toronto’s 2025 Theme - ALL IN! |
This week, Pride Toronto announced their Pride 2025 theme: ALL IN! You can watch the announcement video here.
I am so excited about this theme, which brings solidarity and community connection to the forefront of our pride celebration. This unity is something we need now more than ever as the alt-right tries to separate LGB people from their Trans and Non-binary siblings. A threat to one of us is a threat to all of us, and we must stand strong together.
I can’t wait to celebrate pride together in June, emphasizing love, solidarity, and joy!

Dear Neighbour,
What a week it has been in politics!
This week's headline that shook Ottawa was the bombshell resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. Today Prime Minister Trudeau shuffled his cabinet.
This cabinet shuffle is lipstick on a pig. It captures the adage — Liberal, Tory, same old story. Politicians who will cling on to power by rewarding their insider friends while ignoring what everyday people are facing.
I want to echo NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s calls for Trudeau to resign. It’s time for Trudeau to touch grass and talk to Canadian families struggling in every community.
In provincial politics, this week had another bombshell report that Doug Ford is hoping Trudeau’s news buries: the Financial Accountability Office (FAO) damning report into education funding and the schools repair backlog.
The report confirms our worst fears: the crisis in our schools of crumbling infrastructure is going from bad under the former Liberal government to worse under Doug Ford.
Here are the highlights you should know:
84% of TDSB schools are below a state of good repair
Ontario has a $12.7 billion shortfall over the next ten years because Ford won’t maintain and repair schools — this means the number of schools below a state of good repair will continue getting worse
Ford Conservatives have cut school funding by $1,500 per student since 2018
In 2024 alone, Ford further slashed education funding by $300 million
I want to echo what Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles is saying: "It means leaky roofs. It means classrooms that hit freezing temperatures in the winter and stifling heat in the summer. It means asbestos in our walls and lead in our drinking water, and students learning in portables that should have been replaced decades ago. It is unacceptable."
This isn’t an abstract problem: it is happening right here in Toronto Centre. I had personally visited Jarvis Collegiate with our progressive education champion and TDSB Trustee Deborah Williams. A beloved high school in our community has classrooms that are abandoned and collapsing because of the choices Liberal and Conservative governments make.
I also want to say thank you to everyone who volunteered us this year — thank you, thank you, thank you! With your ongoing support, we continue to get ready for Ford’s snap election call rumoured to take place this spring. On Wednesday we had our final door-to-door canvass of the year and we had a superb volunteer turn-out — and last evening we had our final phone-canvass with even more positive reception. I would love for you to join us in the new year — you can sign up to volunteer here.
And of course, I am wishing you, your family, your friends, your chosen family, and your community a warm and relaxing holiday season. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy New Year to all!
For everyone needing support over the break, we are so lucky to have many organizations providing food, warmth, and community care during this season. Some exceptional local organizations worth knowing about over the break are:
Finally, my team and I happily research, write, edit and send out 50 weekly newsletters like this one every year. I'm sure you would agree, it's time to give the hardworking writing elves a little Christmas break and family time.
Our community newsletters will resume after the first week of the New Year. I am so looking forward to returning in the new year with updates and to continuing to connect with you all. In the meantime, I wish all of you a happy, bright, and safe holiday season, whether you are celebrating or simply enjoying the slower pace as we end the year
Yours in community service,

| Remembering Raji Sivasubramaniam |
I was saddened to learn that a pillar of our community — Raji Sivasubramaniam — passed away on December 7. Raji was a pillar of our communities in St. James Town and Regent Park. He regularly called my office to connect his neighbours to support and community resources. He cared about his community with his whole heart. Raji lived a life of service for others and will be dearly missed. I also want to thank the St. James Town Corner for organizing a bus to Mississauga so that his friends could join his funeral service last weekend. Your life and impact will not be forgotten Raji. Friends and neighbours are invited to sign the digital condolences book here.

Dear Emma,
Yesterday, the Legislature rose for the winter break. We will not sit in the chamber, pass legislation, or hold Question Period until March 4th, 2025. This is a long break and one that may not end since rumours of a spring election continue to swirl.
As you can imagine, this past week was not without Ford’s usual schemes. He was at it again, dividing and distracting Ontarians, doing everything possible to enrich his friends behind our backs.
Instead of focusing on helping everyday Ontarians connect with a family doctor or secure affordable housing, Doug Ford is more concerned with sending people in crisis to already overcrowded jails with no pathway for rehabilitation or recovery.
Just yesterday, at the last possible moment, the PC Government tabled a new bill that would further criminalize homelessness and stigmatize the most vulnerable people in our communities. This bill would further criminalize sleeping in public parks and the use of illegal substances in public places, things that are already illegal, without providing any new funding to support alternatives. I don’t know where this government thinks unhoused people are supposed to go. The shelters are full, and the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is close to $2,000 a month across Ontario. People only sleep in tents in the winter when they have no other option. These folks need support to become and stay housed, but this bill does nothing to create supportive or affordable housing.
This government needs to pass the Ontario NDP’s Homes Ontario plan and get back into the business of building housing in order to end encampments in our province.
Before the Legislature rose, the government did do one nice thing, though. They passed a bill I tabled!
The government decided to bundle together and batch-pass ten bills proclaiming various days, weeks, and months as times of significance to raise awareness of issues and celebrate cultures. These are not official holidays but are recognized as important times of the year in Ontario. And one of the bills, The Persons Day Act, was one that I co-sponsored tri-partisanly with my fellow MPPs Mary-Margaret McMahon and Aislinn Clancy.
The Persons Day Act recognizes October 18 as Persons Day in commemoration of the hard-won struggle by the Famous Five and other feminists for the Canadian government to recognize women as Persons. Before this case, the word “persons” meant men in Canadian legal contexts. After they won their case, “persons” always meant both men and women. This case did not grant legal personhood to Indigenous or Asian women or recognize gender non-conforming people, but it did pave the way for further progress, and for that, I am very grateful.
I also had the opportunity to speak in support of the passing of the Chinese Heritage Month Act. As a person of Chinese heritage, it was heartwarming to speak to the importance of this day and reflect on how Chinese people have been treated by the Canadian government, from building the Canadian Pacific Railway for incredibly low pay in unsafe conditions, to the Chinese Head Tax, to the beautiful communities that Chinese-Canadians created and continue to hold together in cities across Canada. You can watch me speak in the Legislature about the importance of this month here:
Here are all of the new times of significance in Ontario:
I am very glad that all of these communities have special times for commemoration, awareness, and celebration in our province. You can see all of Ontario's currently proclaimed times of celebration and commemoration here. Don’t see your community represented? It might be time to organize within your community, start a campaign, and contact my office about tabling a bill!
Yours in community service,
Kristyn Wong-Tam

| Ontario Renters Deserve Predictability |
On Wednesday, we had the opportunity to bring rent control back to all rental units in Ontario via my colleague MPP Bhutila Karpoche’s Private Members Bill. But the government voted it down.
I was thrilled to speak to this bill. Rent control keeps renters' housing costs predictable and allows people to remain in their homes, building healthy and strong neighbourhoods.
When this government scrapped rent control for new builds in 2018 it created confusion and imbalances in the rental market. All of a sudden, landlords can raise the rent on their tenants to any amount they like, creating a path for de-facto evictions without a hearing. This is wrong. We need to restore rent control in Ontario and work towards vacancy decontrol, where rental prices are controlled even when an old tenant moves out and a new one moves in.

PCs Overfunding their Buddies, Underfunding Key Services |
Over the past week, I have had time to examine the Financial Accountability Officer’s latest expenditure report, which tracks government spending and compares it to planned expenditures.
This most recent report shows that this government is systemically underfunding education across the board. Their strategy is to set up our colleges and universities to fail and to let our public schools languish. While the Premier remains laser-focused on schemes and scandals and ponying up billions for a private Austrian luxury spa, the people of Ontario are getting less and less for their taxpayer dollars.
Instead of funding our schools, here is what the Ford government decided to splurge and save on:
| Ford Failing Skilled Trades Workers |
My office has been inundated with calls from skilled trades workers ready to work building homes in Ontario. Many of them have job offers in hand.
But instead of heading out to job sites, they're stuck in Ford's mismanaged Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program, waiting for a work permit. We must fix this backog to get people working and homes built in Ontario.
This week, I asked the government what they would do to fix this backlog. As usual, they played the blame game and refused to take responsibility.
