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

At times like this, the notion of 'Canada' is not something you put on and take off like a team jersey. It's something you feel in your heart and pumps in your blood. It's a country Alberta’s New Democrats believe is worth fighting for. 🇨🇦 youtube.com/shorts/-lq1g...

Worth a read!

Albertan's voices were heard! We have faith in the RCMP investigation and encourage the government to be fully transparent, much more than they have been to date in this CorruptCare scandal. yycAcadia #AbLeg #AlbertaPolitics www.threads.net/@dianabatten...

We are happy the RCMP is investigating the #CorruptCare scandal. These allegations of bloated contracts are incredibly serious. If you have helpful information, we want to hear from you: Email us at [email protected] globalnews.ca/news/1106982...

Since the President first announced the threat of tariffs, the Premier has taken the wrong approach, failing Albertans and throwing Canadians under the bus. We need an ethical, competent government with a real plan. Read my full statement below 👇🏽

It truly is a very bad budget.

Budget 2025: cuts, chaos & corruption.

It's budget day, Alberta! The Alberta’s New Democrats have been traveling across the province listening to what Albertans really need.... Can't say the same about the UCP.

Four days it took her to say anything. And then she says … she will do nothing.  Not good enough. Her own office is implicated. The investigation can’t be delivered to the people being investigated. How dumb does she think Albertans are? /1

Danielle Smith's government allegedly fired the AHS CEO and the Board after they started looking into the legality of contracts for private surgeries that could enrich companies with strong ties to the UCP government and staff. They did all of this with YOUR tax dollars.

Didn’t read the Globe and Mail piece by Carrie Tait? Here’s a synopsis of the scandal du jour in Alberta. Also, pro tip: you can read the G&M with a public library card. If you’re not a subscriber…

AISH is changing. Again. Join the Shadow Minister of Community & Social Services @marierenaud.bsky.social and the Deputy Leader of Alberta’s New Democrats @pancholirakhi.bsky.social for a virtual meeting to discuss just that.
