“The Alberta gov’t released a report on aggression and complexity in schools on Friday that echo what the teachers’ union and others have spent years calling for, prompting critics to accuse the gov’t of dragging its heels.” It’s almost as if they should have been listening all along. 🎁

📽️⁉️What will Minister LaGrange and this government do for rural health care? Why are they doubling down on failed two tiered, US style health care? #mla #banffkananaskis #abhealth #rural #ableg #abpoli

Albertans paid the price for the UCP’s $125 million dollar political experiment with public health care. Wait times grew, errors increased, and patients suffered from waiting too long for routine appointments and delaying cancer treatment. youtube.com/shorts/vRrj3...

My heart is heavy with the idea that I am now being forced to defend Albertans’ Charter rights. Invoking the notwithstanding clause violates our teachers’ rights to freedom of assembly and to strike. #abpolitics #isupportabteachers #RedforEd sarahelmeligi.wordpress.com/2025/11/20/t...

Once I was fishing in the Kananaskis River and a Grizzly Bear walked right by me, not 30m away. It did not see me. Nothing happened. I reported it. Here is a blurry photo I took from my car of a mother Grizzly and two cubs. Again, nothing happened. No shots fired by either side.

My four closest grizzly "encounters" over a couple decades hiking were where we were asked "did you see the bear? [that our group saw walking toward your group in this confined part of the landscape]" and no, we did not see the bear. It completely ghosted us!

🗣️ Elmeligi said public safety is the top priority but that is tied to co-existence. There are many science-based options to manage grizzly bears already identified in the recovery plan for the species aside from bringing back the hunt or the minister’s grizzly bear-killing wildlife response team.

I found this dude napping - NAPPING - in a parking lot. Lots of people watching. Great staff from Parks came, gently woke him, and moved him off. #andnothinghappened

I encountered this gorgeous blond black bear near Canmore. I stopped the car, took a picture from the safety of the car and drive on. It did bear things. No shots fired by either side. I reported the sighting and recorded the observation on iNaturalist.

Not this year but last summer...I was biking to a music festival and came across a black bear on the trail. He did come at me, but his stance was "whatcha doin'?" I yelled SIT out of panic and habit (I have large dogs) and...he did. And then I rode away.

Saw this beauty peacefully existing in Jasper NP. We were a safe distance in the car. Did NOT stop.

"A Grizzly Bear was crossing Rock Glacier with her cubs earlier this year while we stopped to see the Pikas. They were munching on “wild salad”. We stayed in the car and gave them space while they crossed" #AndNothingHappened #abbearencounters #wildlife #abpoli

📰NEWS📰 “I just think killing bears should be the last possible resort, right, so if that’s the conversation that we’re having, we need to make sure that we have exercised every other option before we got there,” said Elmeligi, who is also a #bear biologist.🐻 @rockymtnoutlook.bsky.social

"During sunset, I was incredibly lucky to spot a mama grizzly with her two cubs. I stayed safely inside my vehicle the entire time, gave them space, and there was no aggression or charging—just a calm, beautiful moment." #abbearencounters #AndNothingHappened

Once again, Alberta’s UCP Government plans to suspend Charter Rights of Albertans. First to attack teachers’ rights, now trans youth. The Justice Minister proudly said his voice is the final voice on this matter. It is not. The voice of the people is the final voice. Plz RT #abpoli #ableg #yyc

Danielle Smith can't stop lying. She once guaranteed that "no Albertan would ever have to pay out of pocket" to see a doctor. Now, she's bringing in an American-style healthcare system that will force you to do exactly that. Stand up to Smith's lies 🔽 albertandp.ca/protect-healthcare

Hey Todd Loewen, just wanted to let you know that @apumphrey.bsky.social came across two grizzly cubs and their mother #andnothinghappened #abbearencounters

Let's tell the truth about bear encounters and coexistence. If you've had a bear encounter this year, it was amazing and nothing happened, tell me about it. Email your story (3 sentences or less) and 1 photo to [email protected]. post it on your socials too and tag me and the Minister.

Good morning. If you live in Alberta, you should know that today your government will invoke the notwithstanding clause to wage war against transgender Albertans. Not because transgender persons are harmful, but because the UCP is distracting you from their mountain of failures. #ableg

“This should be an easy vote. Saying yes to Bill 201 means standing with workers and improving wages and affordability...” said Nenshi. “On Monday, the UCP will decide whether this bill passes and whether workers get the fairness they deserve.” edmonton.citynews.ca/2025/11/14/a...

10/10 The dueling speeches at the AB Munis convention highlight a fundamental divide: the #Alberta #NDP is pledging to repeal provincial overreach, while the UCP is planning more #overreach rules to replace #municipal ones. Theodora MacLeod, Calgary Herald calgaryherald.com/news/nenshi-...

From one of our riding to the other, we remember those who didn't come home and those came home forever changed as they fought for our freedoms and to protect the freedoms of others. We are grateful for everyone's service to build a better world. #mla #banffkananaskis #community

The suspension of obstetrical services in Cold Lake is unacceptable. Families in Cold Lake and across Alberta deserve access to safe, reliable care close to home, not months of uncertainty. Danielle Smith and the UCP govt have failed to properly support rural health care. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli

We remember their courage, their sacrifice, and the freedoms they secured for all of us. youtu.be/4V8DhEsVuD8?...

My staff & I are honoured to join our communities tomorrow at multiple Remembrance Day ceremonies across #BanffKananaskis incl #BraggCreek, #Canmore, #Banff, & #Exshaw. Together, we stand in gratitude for veterans who gave so much. Their legacy lives on in our commitment to peace & remembrance.

Bill 202 would: 🚫 Have a zero tolerance policy for gifts from lobbyists 📝 Disclose any gift valued over $100 ✅ Implement a code of conduct for senior political staff 🏛️ Restore Albertans' trust in government

Today, @ndpkyle and I proudly introduced the 'No More Skyboxes' Bill. Bill 202 ensures that the honour and privilege of public office remain focused on serving Albertans rather than serving their friends and insiders. /1 Watch the press conference to learn more ⬇️

📰 NEWS 📰 “Despite [Minister Loewen’s] claims that the program is effective, grizzly bear populations are increasing and densities are growing and conflicts are increasing, Elmeligi said that there is “absolutely no data supporting any of that.” Full article, Oct 31, @rockymtnoutlook.bsky.social

The MLA said there has been no public #consultation to measure Albertan’s support for this program. “… Can the minister enlighten us on how he has gauged #public #support or how he knows grizzly bear populations are increasing?” [Dr Elmeligi] said. 📰 NEWS: Oct 31, @rockymtnoutlook.bsky.social

Before we let the Minister get too carried away with killing grizzly bears, maybe he should implement all aspects of the grizzly bear recovery plan and do his job to move us towards coexistence instead of conflict.

This last summer, the top thing people stopped me in the street to tell me was that they were proud Albertans & Canadians and they wanted their gov to stand and fight for Alberta and Canada together. Bill 1 doesn't do that; it just contributes to separatist rhetoric that is damaging our province.

This is an easy vote. Albertans are proud Albertans and proud Canadians. Let’s see how the UCP votes tonight #ableg

10/ Let’s nix the “no choice” narrative. The UCP had options. Citizens deserve to hear why. Unfortunately, by curtailing debate and doing an endrun around the legislature through closure, the UCP robbed Albertans of that, too. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...
