💯 we do!!!

Proud to stand with teachers across Alberta. Thank you for standing up for our children’s education. #AbEd #supportourteachers #ata

More than 60% of women are min wage earners. If she’s lucky to work a full time 40 hour a week job, before taxes, she is trying to live off $31,200 a year. Alberta has the lowest minimum wage in all of Canada. Inflation is going up while wages do not. The UCP must increase minimum wage.

Worksheets aren't classrooms. Danielle Smith will spend millions of public dollars on everything but offering teachers a fair deal. youtube.com/shorts/lzFsB...

Today is World Contraception Day. Access to contraception is a matter of health, safety, and economic fairness. On this day, we recognize that everyone deserves the ability to make decisions for their own body and future, free from stigma and free from barriers.

Femicide, sexual assault, and intimate partner violence continue to devastate families. On Sept 27th at 12 PM, join me at the Calgary Courthouse for the Voices Against Violence rally.

Women and gender-diverse people know what it feels like to have governments decide whose rights count and whose don’t. Now Danielle Smith wants to use the notwithstanding clause to lock trans kids and their families out of the courts altogether. 1/2

Today, on International Equal Pay Day, I want to be clear: Equal pay for equal work isn’t optional. It’s overdue. Women in Alberta deserve better! #PayEquity #EqualPay #WomensRights

It’s definitely a #BetterTogetherSummer when I get to hear from constituents. Love that the @albertandp.ca is hosting Better Together Town Halls to listen to folks from all over our province. Check it out at: bettertogethersummer.ca

Love that I can help just by filling my tires. The Air for Charity program donates some of their revenue to the Brenda Strafford foundation’s Heart Home Network. This organization supports the prevention of domestic violence. Please consider supporting this critical organization: thebsf.ca

A privilege to meet General Jennie Carignan, Canada's first woman to lead @canadianforces.bsky.social as the chief of the Defence Staff. Her decades of experience, courage, and integrity are a testament to the power of women in leadership. @naheednenshi.bsky.social

When Alberta announced it would claw back the new Canada Disability Benefit from AISH recipients, people with disabilities were left feeling overlooked. In a heartfelt letter, CDSS Awareness Leader Paul Sawka shares how this decision could impact the lives of many Albertans: cdss.ca/aish-clawback/

Alberta spends the least per-student in all of Canada. There are no excuses. See stoptheexcuses.ca for @albertateachers.bsky.social's newest campaign #KidsCantWaitAB

The Globe and Mail has been breaking stories on MHCare and the children's medication from Turkey since 2023. And we are gonna keep doing it. --> www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Danielle Smith's UCP government continues to fail Albertans on health care. Wait times are growing, access is getting worse, and measles cases are surging. Albertans deserve strong public health care that they can get when and where they need it.

The UCP gov’t ‘strategy’ to end gender-based violence is nothing more than empty words. They boast of a surplus, yet are cutting millions in funding to front-line service providers that are trying support families in crisis. #UCP, please re-implement this much needed funding.

The Alberta NDP are calling out the UCP for funding cuts. “the UCP government has the money but is actively choosing to cut funding to groups like YW Calgary that provide a wide range of victim support.” This comes as YW Calgary closes its Child & Family Counselling services.

Every year, Equal Voice brings together a room full of incredible women who work hard to ensure that diverse voices are included around the table where decisions are made. It was a pleasure to meet so many of them at their annual Stampede Reception this weekend!

This is just the beginning of what will be a long, cruel summer of cuts to programs Albertans count on, and this UCP government refuses to provide. It also confirms the UCP government’s ‘strategy’ to end gender-based violence is nothing more than window dressing.

Great conversations with Adminstration and Students about the University of Calgary. Awesome way to kick off Stampede week.

Warm welcome at the Airdrie Parade to celebrate Canada. Love the diversity of our beautiful country. Happy Canada Day! #CanadaDay

Heartfelt appreciation to all the staff who nurture &educate students. Well done to all the students on a successful year. Congratulations to all the Graduates and best wishes on the next steps of your journey. I wish all of you well earned rest and fun adventures over the summer break.

The rain stopped and I had the joy of joining folks in Dalhousie for neighbour day fun. Food trucks, street runs, and guitars ready to play… but nothing could beat seeing community come together over lively conversations and homemade food! Thanks for the invite!

It’s time to dust off our hats and boots.. FrancoSud kicked off Stampeding season for Amanda Chapman, @janeteremenko.bsky.social and I. Thank you for your leadership in francophone education and sharing the cultural and social importance.

Rain or shine the Calgary- Edgemont team will knock! It’s that important to hear from constituents. Tonight’s takeaways and messages for the UCP government: ❌ no to coal mining the eastern slopes ❌no to separation from Canada ❌no to corruption and leave AHS alone

What a beautiful evening in this gorgeous backyard. Appreciated the support from @janeteremenko.bsky.social and @courtellingson.bsky.social as we gathered with supporters wanting to work to win government for the @albertandp.ca ! ❤️ the conversation! #BetterStartsNow at : www.albertandp.ca

We’ve been out talking to people today and hearing their thoughts and concerns on the UCPs mismanagement of our healthcare. They’d like the corruption to stop and a focus on care for Albertans. #CorruptCare

What a beautiful back yard to set the tone of thoughtful conversation!

Help Ranchlands Community Association and Greta build a nest this week.. and get a prizes

Albertan women’s health= Alberta’s economic health. BUT it is simply not a priority for the UCP. The UCP government needs to take action to ensure women’s health is treated as an essential component of building and sustaining Alberta’s economy. youtu.be/ZHgpFIh15DI?...

Where is the implementation funding? How is the UCP going to follow through, when they cut $2m from prevention funding and put policies in place to make sexual education harder to access? So disappointed in the UCPs strategy plan to end gender based violence in Alberta.

Premier Smith's Mar-a-Lago trip cost taxpayers over $10,000: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... The outcome: - A photo op. - Dow Chemical project on hold. - No end to tariffs. We need a government focused on economic prosperity, jobs & affordability. Not one dog-whistling to separatists.

UCPs 10 year strategy to End Gender-based violence cost Albertans nearly $20million and is unfortunately a repackaged broad plan that requires more transparent data and clarity on implementation funding.

Many organizations across the province reported their expertise was minimized during consultations with recommendations watered down. Women can’t get beds tonight due to the UCPs incompetence, they need action now not promises of action “soon”.

The UCP has had plenty of time for corruption scandals and finding new ways to waste taxpayer money on pet projects, instead of actioning and addressing urgent funding needs to end gender-based violence.

It’s Women’s health week, and the UCP government needs to understand that healthy women equals a healthy economy. #WomensHealth #WomensHealthWeek #WomensHealthMatters
