In today’s Legislative Assembly, the NDP requested an Emergency Debate on 🆎 health care crisis. Min. Jones said based on their initiatives and data, there is no crisis (ED utilization ⬇️ from 100% to 80%, ED inpatients ⬇️ 50%). Speaker McIver denied the request. UCP voted to adjourn an hour early.

“Each of those signatures represents a conversation many of the people who signed were not aware that public funding goes towards independent schools.” “We need people who value public education to continue to be engaged.” ~ Alicia Taylor #RedForEdAB edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

“The government claims everything is fine.” “These 8000 stories are the evidence that we need immediate, tangible solutions: more beds, more staff, and sustainable funding for universal public health care.” ~ Raj Uppal, CUPE AB - President @pfparks.bsky.social stateofemergency.ca/stories?link...

Danielle Smith is willing to dish out millions & rewrite the law to help AB separatists. But she won’t lift a finger or spend a dime to do the things that matter to you. You deserve a gov’t that listens to you & puts your interests first. That’s not the UCP. youtu.be/ZZ5Z60SPDI0?... #abpoli

@pfparks.bsky.social maybe it’s time challenge the Premier + her FOUR Ministers of Health to shadow an ED doc or HCW for an entire shift. Sit in the waiting rooms, witness the chaos and distress. And if the UCP won’t, looks like you have an NDP MLA @janisirwin.bsky.social who’s raised her hand.

“The system isn’t failing because it’s universal; it’s failing because it has been deliberately underfunded, understaffed and the infrastructure and policies to build up staffing is withheld.” “Right now, our healthcare teams are performing a miracle under their provincial constraints.”

We need more politicians who seek the fame of the pulley or the buttonhole... the fame synonymous with reliable function, silent necessity, and enduring purpose. So many seem to prioritize the wrong kind of fame or reasons for public service. 3/3

Thinking about the impact on mental health after the UCP's attack on trans youth today. You are not alone. There is a much bigger and stronger community of people who love you and who are fighting for you. If you are not okay, talk to someone you trust or call one of the numbers below.

Thinking about Premier Kinew's words and actions as Premier Smith repeatedly chooses to violate fundamental rights and freedoms of Albertans. We deserve better @naheednenshi.bsky.social. Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew speaks to reporters | Full Media Scrum | October 16, 2025 | youtu.be/mS0QN5zzi-o?...

Can you start by making public health like vaccination a national program? Premiers like Smith are endangering the entire country by making access to vaccines near impossible. She is the reason we lost our measles elimination status. If less people become ill there is less strain on hospitals.

This is OUTRAGEOUS! No money for AB public education, but $86,000,000+ for parents. 180,000 parents x $480 for the 16 days students were out of the classroom. Read this article and do the math. Please tell me I am wrong! @thebreakdownab.bsky.social @albertandp.ca www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Listening to Nicolaides just now. All the complexity he described is all on a teacher to shoulder and solve in exactly the same environment with the same lack of support. So much blaming about the strike alone impacting students’ mental health. And it’s teachers who will fix it?Absolutely enraged.

This is a must watch:

I tried to call my MLA but it went to voicemail. And the Voicemail is full. So I sent him a fax. You can find your MLA's contact info here. www.assembly.ab.ca
