Premier Smith as had a year: Trips to Trump. A Corrupt Care scandal. And using the notwithstanding clause 4 times—including against teachers and vulnerable youth. Separatism. An affordability crisis. No minimum wage increase. Shame. Albertans are proud Canadians. We’re stronger together.

Bill 9 is the UCP’s latest attempt to override your rights using the notwithstanding clause. That’s not democracy — it’s authoritarian power. The Charter and the Alberta Bill of Rights exist to protect us, not to be ignored by government. Read more:

Once again, Premier Smith is backtracking on her promise that no Albertan would pay out of pocket to see a family doctor. Instead, we’re seeing American-style healthcare creep into Alberta, leaving people behind while costs go up.

For the second time, the UCP has voted down Bill 201 — a bill that would have stopped restaurant owners from taking the tips their employees earned. Workers deserve to keep what’s theirs. Premier Smith, protect workers’ tips, not your pals. Contact your MLA today. This is not okay.

Albertans are paying more for less. Smith allowed uncontrolled increases in auto insurance premiums, which will go up anaother 15% or more in the next two years. Time for a public model like Saskatchewan’s.

Separatism puts Alberta’s capital and investment returns at real risk. At the Heritage Trust Fund meeting I asked the fund manager if they had evaluated the impact of separatism, similar to an analysis they did on Brexit. The answer? No. Why not?

Thank you Elboya Parent Council for sharing information about the Jacket Racket event at Elboya School. Please bring your gently used warm winter gear that you may no longer need to Elboya School. Let’s do our part to help ensure everyone stays warm during the upcoming winter season.

Standing with our teachers today and every day. Alberta is Canada’s richest province - there’s no excuse for having the lowest student funding. Our classrooms deserve investment, not neglect. End this strike now, Danielle Smith.

Proud to stand with teachers at the Public Education March. They’re not just fighting for fair wages - they’re fighting for every child’s right to a safe classroom, proper supports, and a better future.

Thank you Aveva for having me on your keynote panel! It’s difficult to build large projects right now, but Rachel Notely’s proved it could be done with the Transmountain Expansion. We need an Alberta government focused on building things to build our economy.

Underfunding and lack of support mean it’s not just students with complex needs being left behind - it’s all kids. One person can only do so much. No one should face these conditions, especially teachers. Premier Smith, end the strike. Give our kids the education they deserve.

Premier Smith, you boast about supporting public education, yet it’s teachers and education staff who make it work despite your government’s defunding. They deserve respect and fair treatment - they’re shaping the citizens of tomorrow, and our children deserve that today. End the strike now.

I’m incredibly grateful to the Calgary-area pharmacists who gave up their evening to share the challenges they are facing in serving Albertans’ health care needs. Pharmacists are important partners in health care and deserve respect from Danielle Smith’s government.

Supporting local is at the heart of being better together with

In an affordability, health care, and education crisis, one truth remains: we are better together. Community means looking out for neighbours and opening doors for those in need. Smith’s government has failed Alberta—but united, Alberta and Canada are stronger.
