Referendum Lust...A Shakespearean Tragedy #abpoli #ableg

World Vishyvanka Day Ceremony at the Alberta Legislature to commemorate the history heritage and resilience of the Ukrainian people in the face of Russia's illegal invasion and ongoing barbaric bombardment of a peaceful neighbour. #ableg #abpoli

Happy Vyshyvanka Day! Vyshyvanka Day is a global celebration observed annually on the third Thursday of May. It is dedicated to wearing and preserving the traditional Ukrainian embroidered shirt, which has grown into a powerful symbol of cultural identity, unity, and resilience. #abpoli #ableg

The Premier has sided with the separatists. #abpoli #AbLeg

If you walk the field straddling the fence you are bound to get splinters. #abpoli #AbLeg

Alberta Fire Chiefs are calling on the government to address roadside safety. Remember to slow down to 60 and move over. Let’s keep our roads and first responders safe! #abpoli #AbLeg

I am concerned about travelers who have been stranded on Highway 63 and 881 since Thursday. People are running out of fuel, water, and food. If you are stranded, stay with your vehicle. For an emergency, call 911. Check with 511 Alberta before you travel anywhere. 511.alberta.ca

Not accepting the electoral boundaries commission recommendations is something we should all be upset about.

Today, Danielle Smith and the UCP caucus unveiled plans to rig the next election: A new motion indicates the UCP's plans to manipulate the election maps for the next election in their favour, and without any requirement to consult the public. This has never been done in Canadian history. /1

I just donated blood for the 52nd time. Everyone who can donate should be a regular blood donor. #Canadaslifeline #itsinyoutogive @canadaslifeline.bsky.social

Happy Hanukkah to everyone celebrating. And to everyone in the join us on Sunday December 14th as the menorah is lit on the legislature grounds. #happyhanukkah

Bill 9 has been tabled here in Alberta. The UCP is using the notwithstanding clause against trans Albertans. They are taking away their charter rights and freedoms. #AbLeg #AbPoli #TransRights #TransgenderRightsAreHumanRights

Judge Want's report into the #CorruptCare scandal makes it clear we need a full public inquiry now. With long wait times for necessary surgeries, Albertans cannot afford to waste more money on the UCP's well-connected friends. #abpoli www.albertandpcaucus.ca/news/post/ju...

Last night, I was pleased to attend another sold out annual @friendsofmedicare.bsky.social fundraiser demonstrating the value Albertans place in this essential watchdog organization. #abpoli #healthcare

Yesterday, on the day that Danielle Smith and the UCP were supposed to release the CorruptCare report, they focused on license plates. I have been an MLA for the last 10 years. None of my constituents ever told me that new license plates were their main priority. www.youtube.com/live/gzdl3_m...

Tonight, my colleague @janisirwin.bsky.social and I joined NDP volunteers in Spruce Grove to knock on doors and talk to voters about the issues that matter most to them. As usual, I found that there is much more that unites Albertans than divides us. #abpoli #bettertogethersummer

As of today, Alberta has the lowest minimum wage in the country. Alberta also has the highest youth unemployment in Canada. The argument that raising the minimum wage increases youth unemployment is clearly not based in fact. It's time to raise Alberta's minimum wage. #abpoli #bettertogether

On Monday, Calgary high school student Evan Li tried to raise concerns about education at a town hall hosted by the UCP but the moderator refused to let him speak. Last night @naheednenshi.bsky.social gave Evan the opportunity to speak that the UCP denied him. www.youtube.com/live/VGmRBAL...

Yesterday, I chatted with Lloydminster Airport staffers Terry and Dayne about their hope that a new passenger carrier soon steps up to replace WestJet, which ended service to Lloydminster in 2023. This region deserves regularly scheduled air service. #bettertogethersummer #abpoli

After the UCP increased co-payments by 40% on seniors’ drug plans, a leaked cabinet document reveals that Danielle Smith has secret plans to charge Albertans hundreds of millions more for their prescription drugs. Swipe the photos for our full statement. #abpoli #ableg #abhealth

Danielle Smith and the UCP's vision for Alberta "Pharmacare" is to charge seniors hundreds of millions more each year for prescription drugs--at a time when many Albertans are struggling with increased cost of family essentials. www.albertandpcaucus.ca/news/post/uc...

What we heard during our Better Together Town Halls was what my staff and I hear every day in Edmonton-McClung. Albertans can get timely access to tests, surgery and vaccines. Health care providers can work as a team. We just need a govt that believes in public health care. #betterispossible

Last weekend, I stopped by the Aldergrove Community League Day event. Many thanks to the volunteers who organize these events! They do amazing work, with and for their neighbours, to make our communities better places to live, work and raise a family. #communityleaguedayyeg

Last weekend, I attended the Daughters' Day event held every year at Edmonton City Hall to celebrate the contributions that women of all ages have made to building our community. I am always inspired after events like these and this year was no exception. #daughtersday

I was fortunate to be able to share a few moments with former Senator, global historian and renowned human rights advocate, author and scholar Doug Roche at the 17th Annual Sir John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights Awards Ceremony. #humanrights #abpoli

Today, I met with my constituent Mike, a disability advocate. He shared some thoughts with me about the UCP's planned changes to AISH that I would like to share with you. Later today, my colleague @marierenaud.bsky.social is hosting a Town Hall. To register: www.albertandpcaucus.ca/events/event...

Today, the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce hosted Canada's Minister of International Trade, Maninder Sidhu, who spoke of the need for trade diversification & the value of our International Trade Commissioner Services in a wide ranging fireside chat with Chamber President Doug Griffiths. #abpoli

After knocking on doors in Edmonton-McClung, I joined several @albertandp.ca colleagues at our Better Together Town Hall in Sherwood Park. More great conversations and further confirmation that Albertans are united on the things that matter, including health care, education & a united Canada #abpoli

Thanks to my good friend Mike for joining me on the doors last night in Edmonton-McClung. I learn so much from these conversations with my constituents We have more in common with one another than we sometimes think. Don't let the UCP tell you otherwise. #abpoli #bettertogethersummer

As part of the @albertandp.ca's ongoing conversations with Albertans, I attended the Rural Development Network's AGM today. Participants shared insights on important rural issues like housing, rural economic development & bus transportation. Thanks for the conversation! #abpoli #ruralalberta

Last night's Better Together Town Hall in Spruce Grove was an incredible success! People shared their hopes & fears about public health & education, community safety, the cost of living & the future of rural Alberta. Thanks for a great evening, Spruce Grove! #abpoli #bettertogethersummer

Pleased to meet with West Edmonton Business Association (weBA) board members to listen to their ideas about small business & to renew my own membership in weBA. If you are a business owner in west Edmonton or the surrounding area, go to Weba.org to learn more. #abpoli #smallbusiness

Last in the parking lot as usual. Great conversations in Spruce Grove tonight about how we are all Better Together across Alberta and throughout Canada. Thanks for sharing, Spruce Grove! #abpoli #bettertogethersummer #abndp

See you in a few hours, Spruce Grove! My @albertandp.ca colleagues @pancholirakhi.bsky.social, @jodiabndp.bsky.social and I are looking forward to hearing about the issues that matter most to you and how Albertans and Canadians are Better Together. #abpoli #abndp #bettertogethersummer

Alberta families deserve a government that is caring and that puts their health, well-being, and affordability ahead of picking fights with Ottawa.

My pal Laura joined me again tonight for conversations with some of my constituents. No matter the neighbourhood, the same issues keep coming up: the rising cost of car insurance, overcrowded classrooms, growing wait times for health care, & UCP attacks on Albertans with disabilities. #abpoli

Pleased to join families at the Edmonton and District Labour Council annual Labour Day BBQ. We must continue to work in solidarity for fair wages, safer workplaces, basic labour standards including holiday and sick pay & the right to bargain for a better deal at work. #bettertogether❤️ #labourday

This Labour Day, I salute my late father, Walter Dach, a career Union Carpenter, & all workers. Workers' rights, including the right to join a union and to strike, were hard-won rights &must be protected. Stand together. Fight to preserve these precious democratic pillars. #bettertogether #labourday

Thanks to my great volunteers with Team McClung for braving the heat to go knocking on doors with me today in Callingwood. I've met a lot of people getting ready for the return to school who are worried about the UCP government's ongoing attacks on public education. #abpoli #backtoschool

On September 4th, our Leader @naheednenshi.bsky.social and @amandachapman.bsky.social @amandachapmanndp will be holding a virtual town hall on the future of our public education system. Join us on YouTube Live at 7 PM.

@naheednenshi.bsky.social &I are calling on the UCP to abandon its attempt to steal the $200 a month federal benefit from AISH recipients, drop its plan to replace AISH with a "work for your supports" program, re-index AISH payments to inflation & support accessibility legislation. #abpoli

WATCH LIVE: Shadow Minister for Community and Social Services @marierenaud.bsky.social and I will be joined by Disability Advocate Zachary Weeks to call on the UCP government to end its attack on disabled Albertans. youtube.com/live/of0lAjU...

On August 24, 1991, Ukraine declared its independence from the former Soviet Union. Today, Albertans of Ukrainian descent gathered at the legislature to mark this occasion and pray for better times for their troubled homeland. Slava Ukraini! Happy Independence Day!

Every year, young people across the city run lemonade stands to raise money for #stollerykids. This morning, I met dozens of Junior Lemon Squeezers and their parents in my constituency to congratulate them on their important work. So proud to celebrate their community spirit! #abpoli

The Alberta Legislature belongs to the people of Alberta. It is supposed to be a welcoming and inclusive place for all. The UCP is the only government in the country to welcome a performer who preaches hate towards its people onto public land and waste public resources while doing it.

New location for our #bettertogethersummer Town Hall in Edmonton on August 28th! #abpoli

Danielle Smith’s travel tip of the year: head to B.C. if you want a free COVID shot. 🧳
