From my family to yours, Merry Christmas, Alberta! May this season bring rest, gratitude, and renewed hope and determination for the year ahead. youtu.be/UnG8IsUK0fw

🚨 Alberta’s Two-Tier Healthcare plan is a threat to all Canadians from coast to coast to coast. While the rich get a fast lane to care, your costs and wait times are set to increase dramatically. Tell Ottawa to act now and stop it. Sign the petition and send a letter: NoTwoTier.ca/CanadaHealthAct

This is American private health insurance 👇🏼 IMO, privatization of healthcare solves nothing It just creates new financial problems for Albertans #ableg #abpoli

ALBERTA: Bill 11 raises healthcare costs for everyone by introducing two-tier care ⚠️. Families pay more out of pocket. Public wait times grow. Doctors move to elite private clinics for the rich. The public system gets weaker. Learn more and take action at: NoTwoTier.ca #ableg #abpoli #canpoli

Albertans- sign the petition!

ALBERTA: Bill 11 makes healthcare more expensive for everyone by introducing a two-tier system ⚠️ It lets doctors mix public and private work, giving faster access to people who pay while everyone else waits longer. Visit NoTwoTier.ca to advocate against this and FOR Universal Public Healthcare.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

WATCH LIVE — The UCP spent this session attacking rights, pushing American-style health care, and voting against affordability. Alberta’s New Democrats pushed for real affordability, health care, education, and good jobs. Tune in for our end-of-session recap:

Every year Canadians lose $15 billion in revenue tied to overseas tax havens for corporations & the ultra-rich. Thank you to Canadians for Tax Fairness for walking me through your newly released report on tax havens & suggested actions to ensure this revenue stays in Canada.

"Alberta government slammed for incompetence as pays out $143M in coal policy reversal" 🤔

Danielle Smith’s Separatism Panel is about using tax-payer dollars to campaign on issues Albertans have already said they don’t support - with a HEALTHY sprinkle of xenophobia - to distract from her failure to create jobs, address cost of living, and deliver healthcare & education. The end.

Albertans should ask the Premier why she is wasting public dollars on this separatist pet project when there are so many pressing issues that need to be dealt with. Read my full statement regarding the 'Alberta Next' panel surveys below:

Albertans already face the highest car insurance rates in the country, and Danielle Smith's solution is to raise premiums by 15%. She isn't listening to Albertans. Send her a message she can’t ignore: #VOTEforBETTER — Vote for Alberta’s New Democrats. Make a plan: albertandp.ca/vote

The Stanley Cup Finals are back in northern Alberta, and I’ve found myself caught up in the fever! Many thanks to friend and fellow Sherwood Parkian Greg Bendall for interviewing me out door-knocking this week. Go, Alberta NDP! Go, Oilers! 💙🧡

On the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression I attempted to move a motion in the House of Commons reaffirming Canada’s commitment to standing with Ukraine and working together to bring Ukrainian children home. Liberal MP Kevin Lameroux said no.

Despite repeated promises by the Liberal govt to play a meaningful role in the world, funding for UN peacekeeping is down 42%, development assistance has been cut and the Liberals have abandoned human rights & obligations on the world stage every single time. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

At this point, calling Jordan Peterson a charlatan is beyond dispute, writes Luke Savage. But has anyone ever straddled the oft-opposed worlds of online postmodernism and reactionary prejudice as successfully? thewalrus.ca/is-jordan-peters...

ER wait times are up. Clinics are closing. A million Albertans can't get a doctor. Danielle Smith calls that success. We call it failure. Alberta deserves better. On June 23, #VoteforBetter youtube.com/shorts/BecK9...

I’ve just finished reading Justices Yungwirth’s & Fagnan’s decisions related to the matters laid out in this article. Let’s get into it, shall we, #ableg? (This is gonna be a long 🧵, Settle in. I’ll link the decisions at the end). 1/ 🧵

The Late Show, live from the Legislature, feat. The UCP's playbook: late-night sessions, limiting debate, and ramming through bills that will only make life harder for Albertans. Better is possible, but it won't happen under Danielle Smith and the UCP #ableg youtube.com/shorts/2SFGf...

UCP Justice Minister Mickey Amery is a friend and relative of a key figure in the #CorruptCare scandal, yet he continues to oversee the investigation. This isn’t an investigation; it’s a cover-up. 👉 Demand action: fireamery.ca #ableg #abpoli

Gaza is on the brink of an imposed famine. Sign the petition calling on PM Mark Carney to implement a full, two-way arms embargo on Israel to end the violence: leadnow.ca/campaigns/ca...

@djclimenhaga.bsky.social: According to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who describes herself as a Canadian patriot, she’s enabling a separation referendum out here in Wild Rose Country only to keep a separatist party from becoming as successful as the Bloc Québécois.

Amen

Alberta was able to support the completion of the TMX Expansion with a campaign to ‘Keep Canada Working’ I doubt threatening to separate will gain us pathways through other provinces to diversify our markets.

1/ As Mental Health Week comes to a close, I want to recognize an outstanding community leader in Sherwood Park. Greg Hochhalter has a long history of supporting those in our community who struggle with life’s challenges and trauma, offering care and compassion to those who need it most.

As Alberta’s Indigenous leaders are calling out the UCP government for refusing to denounce separatism, the Minister of Indigenous Relations said, “I’d like to run and hide.”

On my recent visit to New York, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Bob Rae, Canada’s Ambassador to the UN. We discussed Canada’s impactful role in a rapidly changing world and how to support Team Canada’s strategy moving forward. Thank you for such a wonderful afternoon, Ambassador.

The UCP is too ashamed of their own record to share information with Karen and the thousands of families who are waiting for support... or they simply don't care. Either way, these families deserve better. #abpoli #ableg #FSCD

The fight we face is with President Trump, not Ottawa, and certainly not each other. Danielle Smith is dividing our country and picking fights in a moment that calls for national unity. Watch my response to the Premier's address: youtu.be/d4e8Xu5xtqU

Danielle Smith needs to stop showboating her separatism and start showing up for Albertans like the Namazis. Their family, along with every other Albertan, deserves so much better than this separatist Premier and this self-serving UCP government. #abpoli #ableg #AISH #FSCD

At this rate, parents of children with disabilities are going to end up on a waitlist to get information about the FSCD waitlist. All while their kids continue to live without the support they desperately need. #abpoli #ableg #FSCD

Israel’s plan of forced starvation, ethnic cleansing & annexation continues. Mark Carney must act. Arms embargo. Sanctions. Suspend trade w/ settlements. Recognize Palestine. This is the worst it has been & only the international community can stop this horror. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Carl Sagan on sensible military spending and climate change.

Good question, Agnes. We'd like to know why Premier Smith cares more about replacing her carpet than she does about disabled Albertans living on AISH, too. #abpoli #ableg
