Happy Nurses Week! To the incredible nurses serving Albertans, thank you for your strength, and compassion. Know that we are fighting for you, for public healthcare and for Alberta every single chance we get! #yycAcadia #NursesWeek @abhealth @ableg

This is cheating Albertans deserve the right to fair representation. Gerrymandered electoral boundaries undermine that duty. #yycAcadia #ableg #ABpoli

The UCP said they would respect the findings of the independent Boundaries Commission ... until they didn't like the results. Now, they're ignoring the experts, who consulted with thousands of Albertans, to push through a map that would steal your vote and rig the election.

What does Bill 29 really mean for Albertans? Let’s break it down. #yycAcadia #Ableg #AlbertaPoli #Bill29

The Premier had no problem changing legislation to help out the separatists, but won't lift a finger to help Albertans with the cost-of-living crisis. The UCP government has the opportunity to give Albertans a break, but they'd rather help themselves.

If they wanted to, they would. The UCP could provide Albertans relief TODAY by dropping the provincial gas tax. But they won't. If only the UCP remembered who they work for.... #yycAcadia #ABleg #albertapoli #gastax

Today, the federal New Democratic Party selected its new leader. It is clear that the direction of the federal party under this new leader, someone who openly cheered for the defeat of the Alberta NDP government, is not in the interests of Alberta. /1

Budget Estimates 2026 was an opportunity for the Minister to reassure Albertans that children’s safety is a priority. Instead, we got deflection. So I’ll ask again: when will Minister Nicolaides put Alberta’s children first? #yycAcadia #communities #AbLeg #Budget2026

Under the UCP, parents in Alberta can be left in the dark when incidents of child abuse occur at child care centres. That is unacceptable. Parents deserve transparency so they can make informed decisions about their children’s safety.

“A child’s safety is the top consideration in every decision a parent makes…When it comes to child care, having access to a program’s history and confidence in receiving timely notifications is essential.” - @dianabatten.bsky.social

That’s why today, I joined MLA @dianabatten.bsky.social Shadow Minister for Child and Family Services, alongside MLA Schmidt, MLA Sweet have written to the Minister of Education and Child Care, Demetrios Nicolaides, calling on the UCP government make changes to the Early Learning and Child Care Act.

30 new or increased fees for services that most families already find it hard to afford. We deserve better. youtube.com/shorts/pBKfG...

Greatness isn’t built by breaking apart — it’s built by working together. We know better than to walk away. Our place will always be on Team Canada. 🇨🇦 youtu.be/Kr4V2A8-7Zg

Today we remember the six lives lost in the Québec City Mosque attack and stand with survivors, families, and affected communities. The green square symbolizes remembrance and solidarity. Please take a moment to remember those impacted. #yycAcadia #GreenSquareCampaign #nccm

I am opposed to the separation of Alberta from Canada. I am a proud Albertan and Canadian. #yycAcadia #Alberta #Canada

Justice Wyant’s report on #CorruptCare states on Page 3 that “unlike a public inquiry, this investigation did not have power to subpoena or hear testimony under oath. As a result, people had the opportunity to decline to be interviewed. Some did.” We need a full public inquiry now. #AbLeg

Teachers are being told to make do with overcrowded classrooms and zero support while the UCP refuses to fund new schools or plan for growth. It's not neglect. It’s a conscious choice. And it’s failing Alberta’s kids. Let's talk about it. ⬇️ youtu.be/5Dcp3-RwoHA?...

This didn't happen overnight - the UCP govt ignored warnings and did nothing. Youth unemployment is out of control. It's time for solutions and not excuses. #yycAcadia #Youth #Ableg
