Happy Canada Day, Alberta!! 🇨🇦 Today, we celebrate! Tomorrow, and every day until October 19th, we stand up for the future of our country and our province. I am a proud Albertan. I am a proud Canadian. ❤️
The Premier has spent more time on a municipal noise bylaw in Calgary than on HER job to deliver for Albertans. If the UCP don’t want the job they have, we’re more than happy to do it for them. It’s time to get back to business.
Trying to buy Albertans' support with their own taxpayer dollars might be a sign that Danielle Smith is getting nervous.
How will Alberta's NDP will help you keep money in your pocket? Lower electricity costs, more affordable groceries, help for first-time homebuyers, a higher minimum wage, and relief at the pumps. Check out our Alberta Affordability Agenda at www.albertandp.ca.
Narrator: Unfortunately, the UCP has *not* learned its lesson and still cannot fully comprehend the duty to consult with First Nations.
How can we trust the UCP to uphold the law when their thirst for power will always be more important than democracy?
Our province and our country depend on you to take action. 🇨🇦 Here are three ways to get involved: 1. Sign up at ForAlbertaForCanada.ca. 2. Register for the Day of Action on April 25. 3. Bring a friend!
Danielle Smith won't change legislation to give you a break (unless you're a Saudi Prince or a separatist).
With gas prices going up, up ... and up, Albertans need relief NOW. Why won't the Premier take action and give families the break they need?
If he walks like a separatist, and talks like a separatist, chances are ... the UCP is a separatist party.
You have our word: An Alberta NDP government will pass accessibility legislation. Period.
Private jets and private butlers and private yoga instructors. We now know why the UCP changed the ethics rules two days after Danielle Smith flew to Saudi Arabia.
Danielle Smith is a separatist Premier. The UCP is a separatist government. Period.
If you support a petition that violates Treaty rights, then you support the violation of Treaty rights. It’s that simple.
41 % increase in spending, but no new schools and no new hospitals. If they didn't spend public dollars on public services, shouldn't the Finance Minister be able to tell us what they actually spent it on instead?
Imagine having SIX times the resource revenue and still ending up with a larger deficit than when Alberta's New Democrats were in power. How embarrassing.
Are you between the ages of 16 and 25 and a constituent of Edmonton-Whitemud? Then I would love to see you at my first YOUTH coffee chat where we will talk about what matters to you. Can't wait to see where the conversation takes us.
Sherwood Park, we’re coming your way! Albertans have a lot on their minds when it comes to healthcare, the economy, education, and affordability. Join MLA Kyle Kasawski and me on Thursday to discuss how we can be better together. Your voice and your ideas matter. BetterTogetherSummer.ca
Join my colleagues and me for a conversation about how to make Alberta Better Together. We need your ideas, your voice, and your advocacy. Sign up at BetterTogetherSummer.ca
It’s time for Danielle Smith and the UCP to take personal responsibility for the challenging conditions in Alberta classrooms.
Registrations for our Better Together town halls have opened in Calgary, Spruce Grove, Sherwood Park & Airdrie. We need your voice, your ideas, and your advocacy. Sign up at BetterTogetherSummer.ca. Remember: Registrations for Red Deer and Edmonton have been extended for Wednesday and Thursday!
The Alberta Legislature belongs to the people of Alberta. It is supposed to be a welcoming and inclusive place for all. The UCP is the only government in the country to welcome a performer who preaches hate towards its people onto public land and waste public resources while doing it.
Registrations are open for our better together town Halls in Red Deer on August 27th and in Edmonton on August 28th. Join our leader, my colleagues, and me for conversations about how we can make life better for all Albertans. Register at BetterTogetherSummer.ca
Have ideas about how we can be better together? Want to make our province and country an even better place to live, work, and raise a family? Join the conversation! Registrations for our first town hall in Lethbridge are now open! We'd love to see you! BetterTogetherSummer.ca
The Premier and Justice Minister are once again trying to politically interfere and pressure an independent decision-maker. Why? To support the separatist base of their party and protect their own party. They’re not focused on Albertans. They’re focused on themselves. Again.
The killing of children and civilians - whether through bombs, starvation or terrorism - should devastate us all. The Alberta New Democrats support the Canadian government’s call on the Israeli government to allow for the sustained and large scale delivery of humanitarian aid.
The separatists have it wrong. Proud Albertans are proud Canadians. Come join us in a province-wide conversation about why Alberta and Canada are better together. ❤️ Visit BetterTogetherSummer.ca.
Once again, I was so happy to participate in the BAPS Charities Walk and Run here in Edmonton—one of 13 Canadian cities that participated. This amazing organization raises money for health & education, and environmental & humanitarian relief. I’d be happy to have you join me next year!
