Danielle Smith isn’t a leader - she’s a lobbyist. For separatism, for Big Tech, even for Donald Trump. But we can say no to dividing our province and our country. Vote REMAIN and no to the other nine. #abpoli
We know our healthcare system is struggling & we know why - 7 years of mismanagement by the UCP. Well, we’ve got a plan to transform the system & ensure Albertans can get the care they need when they need it. Read more at albertandp.ca/healthcare #ableg
🚨 BREAKING: Leaked UCP documents show energy prices will SKYROCKET in Alberta. Danielle Smith and the UCP have made their choice: prioritize foreign billionaires building AI data centres while hard-working, everyday Albertans are left paying the bill. www.albertandpcaucus.ca/news/post/se...

I first met Jon back in 2005 when he was an aspiring indie rapper & he came into the studio I was working at to record his first album. 21 years later, I ran into him again at the annual Edmonton Firefighters Memorial. Good to see you, Jon, & thanks for your service! #abpoli
I’m excited! Today we released The Future of Healthcare - our plan to transform the healthcare system & ensure every Albertan can access the care they need. Check it out at albertandp.ca/healthcare. #abpoli
We have a plan to transform our healthcare system & fix what the UCP has broken. A plan to end the chaos and ensure you can get the care you need when you need it. Read more below. #abpoli
Over the last seven years, the UCP has broken health care. We don’t need to tell you that. You see it every day — when booking a doctor’s appointment, visiting an ER, calling an ambulance, or waiting for months to get surgery. We have a plan to transform health care and deliver results ⬇️ /1
You shouldn't have to worry about navigating the health care system like I had to when I was battling cancer in 2023. We deserve access to care — in the ER, while waiting for an ambulance, or when looking for a family doctor. That’s why I’m running. That’s why your vote matters. Make it count. 🔽
ALBERTA NDP RELEASES PLAN TO TRANSFORM THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE IN ALBERTA From cutting emergency room wait times to guaranteeing access to care when and where you need it, we have a plan to transform the system and deliver the health care you deserve. WATCH LIVE: youtube.com/live/3fM8qJn...

Alberta: where an expired passport won't keep you from driving, but an expired driver's license means you can't get chemo. This policy debacle isn't over yet. As I said months ago, they will eventually need to scrap it. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Alberta registries to allow recently expired passports for licence renewals following surge in demand | CBC News
Alberta's government says it's making it easier to renew driver's licences after the province saw a summer surge when its controversial new cards became available.

In July, my constituent’s son reached out to me & Min. Dale Nally regarding challenges she was facing in renewing her AB ID. Today he wrote again. He hasn’t heard from the Minister, his mother’s ID has expired & now she can’t apply for the energy rebate. #abpoli
Had a great time on Saturday at Black Business Edmonton’s trade show in Beaumont. Great conversations with business owners working to build new opportunities for themselves & give back to their communities. Shout out to IBK for all he does with BBE to help promote Black-owned businesses! #abpoli
New lows seemingly hourly now from Bruce McAllister. He seems to be attempting to intimidate and silence credible critics of the UCP's overtly anti-immigrant referendum questions by engaging in demeaning and disrespectful attacks. It's Trumpian thug politics.
Bruce McAllister is a senior advisor to Alberta's premier. He hosted the anti-immigrant Alberta Next Panels. He attacked Senator Paula Simons for calling out the racist referendum questions. Now he's openly supporting an extremist white nationalist party's racist anti-immigration policy.

No better way to spend a part of Labour Day then helping out at the annual Edmonton Labour District Council BBQ. Thanks to all the volunteers from Edmonton unions who spent their holiday Monday serving the community. Working people stand together! #abpoli
Today, we celebrate Alberta’s workers and their unions, who have fought for generations to make our workplaces safer, wages fairer and communities stronger.
Are you skeptical of the Smith government's claims that immigrants are to blame for their own mismanagement of our social, health, and education systems? You should be. Check out this website to educate and equip yourself to fight back in this fall's referendum. ouralbertaadvantage.ca
Stop Premier Smith’s Scapegoating of Immigrants
Premier Danielle Smith is scapegoating immigrants to hide her own failures. Vote NO on her racist referendum.

Happy Pride, Calgary! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ It was an absolute joy to celebrate Pride today with so many Calgarians. There was so much love, energy and joy throughout the community.
💯 “…if every UCP minister who had fumbled the ball this summer were punted from cabinet, there wouldn't be many ministers left.” So much chaos at so much cost all because the UCP puts political games ahead of what you actually need. You deserve better. edmontonsun.com/opinion/colu... #abpoli

The smaller side can win a referendum — or at least make it close
A side that's behind in the polls can still win if the other side stays home. Try it with the Alberta separation vote.

This week, Danielle Smith launched the her two-tier, American-style healthcare plan. And when an ER doctor shared his concerns about the impacts on patients, Jason Kenney swooped in to mock him. But as I explain, when it came to improving healthcare, Jason, as Premier, fell well short.#abpoli
Join me and @kylecampbellyyc this Saturday, September 5th, as we knock on doors and talk with neighbours across Calgary-Shaw. Sign up today at albertandp.ca/kylecampbell.
Albertans deserve a government focused on their priorities: affordability, good jobs, strong public services. Instead, with Danielle Smith and the UCP, all Albertans get is separation, chaos and corruption. Enough is enough. Cancel the referendum. youtube.com/shorts/pf2yK...

Spotted on my way into the office this morning - a community staging of a Looney Tunes short. However, since the Roadrunner was out sick, his understudy, Magpie, filled in. Overall, their performances lacked the action and whimsy we’ve come to expect. 4/10 😉 #urbancoyote
Yesterday was our last day with Tolu - our student summer intern through University of Alberta’s Black Youth for Social Innovation (BYSI) program. Tolu was a wonderful addition to our team & we wish her all the best as she finishes her last year of her political science degree. #abpoli
In the midst of a trade war, it’s more important than ever for Albertans to join the rest of Canada to show unity and strength. Thank you to the hundreds of proud Albertans who came out to show their pride and mobilize to protect our country! /1 www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

"However, Wesley said voting for a binding referendum only to secure more concessions from Ottawa is a dangerous game, whose risks include Alberta becoming worse than a 51st state." 🔗https://edmontonjournal.com/news/separatists-say-trade-war-bolsters-calls-for-independence
Danielle Smith says she won’t support counter-tariffs because they hurt businesses & workers. Odd. Because just last year, she imposed a markup on wine that hurt businesses, cost jobs & hit Canadian wineries hardest. So maybe there’s another reason she refuses to stand with Team Canada? #ableg
