Flu season is here! Protect yourself and those around you. I got my flu shot to help keep my family and friends healthy. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes a big difference. Vaccines are one of the most effective tools we have to prevent illness and protect the most vulnerable among us.

Today, on National Indigenous Veterans Day, we honour the strength, courage, and resilience of Métis, First Nations, and Inuit veterans who served Canada. Their service and sacrifice have too often gone unrecognized, yet their contributions are woven into the fabric of our shared history.

Yesterday I had the great honour of joining Citizenship Judge James Clover to welcome 68 new Canadians from 28 countries! 🇨🇦 It’s always such a moving experience to witness people from around the world take the Oath of Citizenship and officially become Canadians.

I had such a fun time trick-or-treating in Edmonton-Glenora last week! 🎃 It was great to see so many creative and spooky costumes out in the community. 👻🕸️ I hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween. #ThrowbackThursday

It was wonderful to take part in Stollery Day at the Legislature again earlier this week. 💜 I met Harper, her sister Kinsley, and their parents, an incredible family full of strength and love. Harper was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy Type 1 when she was just seven months old…

Yesterday in the Legislature, I asked Danielle Smith why health care keeps getting worse under her watch. When she became Premier, she promised to fix it within months. However wait times are up, family doctors are harder to find, and health care workers are burning out. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli

Last year emergency departments in Alberta were closed for more than 34,000 hours. Of those emergency departments that were open, over 200,000 Albertans gave up before seeing a doctor. Albertans deserve a govt that will actually work with frontline staff to fix the problems. #abhealth #ableg #ableg

Too many Albertans are working harder than ever but still struggling to make ends meet. That’s why Alberta’s New Democrats have introduced Bill 201, legislation to raise the minimum wage, end the unfair youth minimum wage, and ensure service workers keep the tips they earn. #ableg #abpoli

Respiratory illness season is now upon us and hospitals in Edmonton and Calgary are already beyond full. The UCP government could have shown leadership in respect of public health workers. Instead they fired some and silenced others, resulting in the largest measles outbreak in North America.

It was such an honour to attend the swearing-in of the newly elected Edmonton Public School Board trustees with my colleagues yesterday! Congratulations to Holly Nichol on being elected to represent Ward C, and to all trustees who will serve our students and families over the next four years.

Does the Minister of Hospitals agree with his colleague that medical professionals' experience and expertise must be central to public health decisions? He didn’t answer. 👀 Watch to the end for the Minister of Children’s letter.

Teachers, we love you. ❤️ I know today is hard. You’ve been forced back into the same overcrowded, underfunded classrooms that led to this strike. It didn’t have to be this way. Danielle Smith chose to trample on your rights by using the notwithstanding clause to silence you instead of listening.

Danielle Smith is using the notwithstanding clause to silence Albertans. Undermining our freedoms to avoid accountability is cowardly and wrong. Alberta’s New Democrats will always stand up for teachers and the rights of all Albertans.

A teacher who wishes to stay anonymous wrote this poem and asked me to share it. 🧡 Teachers want to be back in school, but they want better for our children. This UCP government needs to properly fund public education. Students and teachers deserve a fair deal and real solutions. #abed #ableg

When Danielle Smith tells us who she is, let's believe her. 👇

Thursday was powerful. ✊ Tens of thousands of teachers, parents, and students filled the Legislature grounds, demanding respect and a fair deal for those who make our classrooms possible.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Let’s Talk Affordability town hall with my colleagues @davideggenab.bsky.social and Brooks Arcand-Paul We had an honest, heartfelt conversation about what so many Albertans are feeling: how tough it’s become to make ends meet under this UCP government.

Happy Flashback Friday! Last weekend, I had the pleasure to attend the Canora Community League Hall Retrofit and Revitalization Groundbreaking ceremony. Community Leagues are important hubs for families and neighbours, and this project will help make Canora a better neighbourhood for everyone.

Danielle Smith promised to fix the healthcare system in 90 days. Two years later, far too many Albertans don’t have access to the care they need, and they are tired of waiting for surgeries, scans and tests.

The cuts, chaos, and corruption continues. The UCP told us that we would see a draft report of the Corrupt Care investigation on May 30th. Then they said June, then September, then October 15th. Well, that day has come and gone. We have been calling for a fully independent public inquiry.

Wishing everyone a warm and peaceful Thanksgiving. 🦃🍁 I hope you’re able to take some time to rest, reflect, and share gratitude with the people who make your life brighter. Let’s also remember those who could use a little extra care and kindness this weekend. Happy Thanksgiving!

This Thanksgiving weekend, I’m reflecting on the incredible resilience of Alberta communities, especially those who’ve faced so much in recent years. A couple of weeks ago, our caucus gathered in Jasper for our retreat. Driving through the area south of town...

The health mandate letters are out and it’s clear the UCP cares more about privatization and Corrupt Care than you. While the UCP are siphoning public funds to private operators and charging people for vaccines, over one million Albertans still don’t have a family doctor. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli

Today I stood with tens of thousands of Albertans at the Leg all raising their voices for the future of public education in Alberta and denouncing the UCP’s mistreatment of teachers. Teachers deserve a fair deal. Kids deserve small class sizes and real supports, especially those with complex needs.

My heart breaks for the family who lost their baby to measles recently in Alberta. I can’t imagine what they are going through right now. My condolences to that family. I am calling on the UCP government to do more to ensure we never experience this again. #abhealth #abpoli #ableg

When you are sick or injured, or when someone you love is, you should be able to count on your local ER being there to help you in an emergency. MLA Jackie Lovely the people of Killam know health care has gotten so much worse under the UCP...

Yesterday I attended the @hsaalberta.bsky.social Day of Unity rally in Edmonton. Alberta's incredible health care professionals show up every day to keep Albertans safe and healthy, and they deserve fair wages, safe working conditions, and a better deal. #abhealth #abpoli #ableg

We’ve unfortunately just learned of the first measles death recorded in Alberta related to the recent outbreaks. It is only the second in the country. This is heartbreaking news, and incredibly sad for so many reasons. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Happy #ThrowbackThursday! I was delighted to meet with students from Ross Sheppard School while marching at the Legislature in support of teachers last week. The kids are alright! ✊❤️ #abed #ableg

It was a pleasure to join the @albertadoctors.bsky.social's Representative Forum and connect with physicians and health leaders from across the province. These conversations are so important as we work together to strengthen Alberta’s health care system. #abhealth

Uninterrupted: A Conversation with Evan Li and me is now LIVE! Tune in: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGmR...

Last night, Bruce McAllister, the voice of this government, suggested a young student be beaten after daring to ask about education funding and the teachers strike. /1

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we recognize the generations of Indigenous communities whose lives were forever changed by residential schools. Let's remember the children who were taken from their families, and the survivors who carry those memories.

The news that Imperial Oil is closing its Calgary office and cutting jobs is a significant blow to Calgary's and Alberta's economies. We need a Premier who keeps Alberta’s investment market competitive, instead of chasing separatism. Read my full statement: www.albertandpcaucus.ca/news/post/na...

Alberta's students are worth so much more than the lowest per-student funding in the country. Investing in education is the BEST thing we could do to build a better future for our province. We'll never stop fighting for that.

Alberta’s Phase 1 COVID vaccine bookings are open but the portal’s a mess. It won’t let you explain why you are eligible under Phase 1 if you don't meet the age requirements.

Seniors across Alberta are struggling with the cost of living. The UCP government’s increase to drug co-pay is already a huge burden. This leaked plan shows this is just the beginning, the UCP plans on charging Alberta seniors even more and that’s cruel. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli

Last week, Naheed Nenshi and I exposed a leaked cabinet documents revealing the UCP government’s secret plans to charge average Albertans hundreds of millions of dollars more for their prescription drugs. #abhealth #ableg #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

I am heartbroken by the loss of Dr. Darren Markland, an outstanding physician and friend to so many of us. His compassion, his fierce advocacy for a better health care system, and his generosity of spirit left a lasting impact on countless lives.

The lack of accountability is the point. It’s easier to pretend you aren’t failing students, teachers, and parents if you stopped collecting evidence showing you’re doing exactly that.

It is clear we need a full public inquiry into the CorruptCare scandal. Anything less is an insult to every single Albertan who depends on our health care system. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli

✊Proud to join with high school students who marched to the Legislature today. They’re standing up to the UCP’s attacks on education, demanding respect for teachers and proper funding for their futures. Alberta students and teachers deserve better! #abed #ableg #abpoli

Danielle Smith often calls herself the most 'freedom-loving' politician in Canada, yet she's repeatedly infringed on your fundamental human rights. Her actions are simply cruel, wrong, and politically motivated. youtu.be/QSt_msI0ayo

A beautiful sunny ☀️ start to Community League Day in Prince Rupert! Always love spending time with neighbours, friends, and volunteers. They have a Big Bin Event & Bottle Drive until 4 pm and pancake breakfast until 11 am today.

Teachers and school staff are on the front lines every day, keeping our kids safe and learning.

Sarah Hoffman's, Alberta’s New Democrat Shadow Minister of Health and Alberta’s former Health Minister from 2015 – 2019, response to Lagrange OPED of Sept 10, 2025: Albertans deserve to be fully confident the public health-care system will be there for them, especially in a time of crisis. 1/11
