I've written a couple of scripts for Albertans to follow if they need a script when calling MLAs. First script is for your MLA, second script is for the Opposition if your MLA is UCP. #ableg #abpoli Call tonight!! Email if you can't call! Opposition info: www.albertandpcaucus.ca/your-mlas/co...

Albertans deserve health care based on need, NOT ability to pay. But the government's new scheme will let people pay out of pocket for diagnostic services. Put simply: it's legislated queue jumping that puts private profits over patients' care needs. www.friendsofmedicare.org/privatepay_d...

Mikisew Cree First Nation Billy-Joe Tuccaro sharing results of study commissioned by FN. He says results show that cancer rates are higher than Alberta average by 25%. Points the finger at the energy industry.

SCOOP! Former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopolous takes legal action against two podcasters after an alleged campaign of harassment, and intimidation over the course of a year. This is tied directly to the “Corrupt Care” scandal. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/thebreak...

Certainly there are issues of far greater importance in the world today, but if you need a brief distraction, worth noting that today is International Beaver Day. #wildlife #beaver

For the Sunday crowd, my @xtramagazine.com column: Democracy is under attack in Alberta. Queer and trans people are in the crossfire #canqueer #cdnpoli

So perfectly said by @celeste.lgbt on Instagram: “Every time a fascist loses, it helps create more hope for the future.” If Orban can be ousted, Smith and the UCP can be too. If we get out and vote like they did - 80% - we can get our province back. #abpoli #ableg

#Alberta, the lie Dani wants to fix health care is evident when you look at any/all of her actions. Workers are hurting & she refuses evidence, data & keeps changing agreements. Overhauling ground ambulance contracts (10yrs) is unlikely to improve anything. The USA mustn’t be emulated. #CdnPoli

My latest with @charlieangus104.bsky.social on Kevin O’Leary’s “Wonder Valley” AI datacenter scam. ❌adds eq. of 7-12 million homes re: power usage ❌uses a Sylvan Lake amount of water annually ❌gives our data to the USA ❌owned by UAE investors who’s revenue is now nil. 1/2 youtu.be/8THKiQiCNIo

Following the life-threatening stabbing at Edmonton's Royal Alexandra Hospital emergency department last Friday, FOM's executive director, Chris Gallaway, spoke to Global News about how we got here. Ensuring safety for patients and health care must be paramount. 1/3 globalnews.ca/video/117597...

Huge thanks to the St. Albert Gazette’s Jessica Campbell for the coverage, and to our three incredible speakers! Most of all, thank you to the 80+ attendees who joined us. The feedback has been amazing. Stay tuned for what’s next! #StAlbert #Community #GiveVoice #abpoli

Thank you, #ForeverCanadian supporters, allies of the First Nations, for partaking in the Treaty 6, 7 and 8 rally. We’re in it together!

NEWS: St. Albert community discussion focuses on LGBTQ+ rights, legislation

Lots of people at the Stand with First Nations Rally! Lots beside us (both sides) and behind us. It was great to see!

“In the U.S., initial success by MAGA groups to ban LGBTQ+ books led quickly to bans on books about slavery, racism and civil rights, books written by Black people and Indigenous peoples, books about climate change, and so on. Don’t think it could happen here? It already is.” #abpoli #ableg

People in Alberta are hitting a breaking point. We talked about accessibility legislation and why not having it is impacting people every single day. This isn’t just one group. This is all of us💚 #Alberta #AbPoli #Accessibility #Disability #YEG

This is why I hate the UCP, making life a living hell 🤬 #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg #yeg #yyc #yql

I wonder how many UCP ministers and MLAs have nannies/housekeepers/employees who are immigrants? Send tips in confidence to [email protected]

"We invite all Albertans to stand with First Nations on Wednesday, April 8 at noon as we gather at the Provincial Court House in Edmonton," ACFN is calling out the hubris of the separatists and calling for solidarity among Albertans! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Quote: "Alberta Justice Minister Mickey Amery shortened the amount of time Elections Alberta has to penalize political finance violations while his friend and relative Sam Mraiche was under investigation by the regulator..." Amery should chat to Ellis about correctional services, jail, in Alberta.

The corruption of the UCP & all associates is far reaching. We must demand accountability & action.

Yes, this. Uncomfortable and unsightly does not equal unsafe. Quote: "When bourgeois eyes watch the street, however, they often see danger in poverty."

It is important to recognize that Disabled Albertans are advocating firmly for their rights, as the UCP has shown clear hostility toward individuals with disabilities. #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg #yeg #yyc #yql

As @karlamarx1917.bsky.social said take back all the spaces, that includes our province. We won’t be shut out of our home. And those of us who can must hold our ground for those who may not be in a safe space to do so.

Attended @givevoiceab.bsky.social event and learned from speakers that starting my own little library box of banned books is a great idea. Also learned that there’s a lot of us progressives/non far right control freaks out there and we can work together to make change. It can be little steps.

I don't want the UCP telling me what my kid can check out from the library or dictating whether the local schools can be welcoming or not. Provincial govt's job is not micro-managing our families and peeking through our windows. #abpoli #ableg

It was such a great evening and a great panel. Thank you to each of your for lending your voice & donating your time.

I understand why we all feel hopeless at times & I have felt it too - but for the sake of my queer & trans kids I cannot give up. Here’s a few things that keep me going 🧵 #abpoli 1. The UCP did not have a strong majority mandate in the last election

Screenshot from Instagram. "There’s something grounding about being in a room full of people who care. Who are showing up, listening, and doing the work."

So privileged to attend an amazing event hosted by @givevoiceab.bsky.social speakers were fantastic. Call to action from @karlamarx1917.bsky.social donate 3 hrs/mth to support your community. Be loud, be an aly call out the BS. Super stoked to get some pride tape 😃 @drkristopherwells.bsky.social

A really great event. Each of us must continue to educate ourselves, and to step up and speak out when we can. Be loud!

We proved last night that building community can be pretty simple: an idea, a few emails to speakers, and an invitation. Just ordinary people who want to see their province move in a better direction. "Imagine a Progressive Future" You don’t have to do everything—just something. #GiveVoice
