I am concerned about travelers who have been stranded on Highway 63 and 881 since Thursday. People are running out of fuel, water, and food. If you are stranded, stay with your vehicle. For an emergency, call 911. Check with 511 Alberta before you travel anywhere. 511.alberta.ca
Not accepting the electoral boundaries commission recommendations is something we should all be upset about.
Today, Danielle Smith and the UCP caucus unveiled plans to rig the next election: A new motion indicates the UCP's plans to manipulate the election maps for the next election in their favour, and without any requirement to consult the public. This has never been done in Canadian history. /1
UCP GOVERNMENT REVEALS PLAN TO CHEAT, RIG ELECTION MAPS

Happy Hanukkah to everyone celebrating. And to everyone in the join us on Sunday December 14th as the menorah is lit on the legislature grounds. #happyhanukkah
Bill 9 has been tabled here in Alberta. The UCP is using the notwithstanding clause against trans Albertans. They are taking away their charter rights and freedoms. #AbLeg #AbPoli #TransRights #TransgenderRightsAreHumanRights
Judge Want's report into the #CorruptCare scandal makes it clear we need a full public inquiry now. With long wait times for necessary surgeries, Albertans cannot afford to waste more money on the UCP's well-connected friends. #abpoli www.albertandpcaucus.ca/news/post/ju...
Judge Wyant’s report makes it clear: We need a full public inquiry into CorruptCare
This report tells us, and all Albertans, what we already knew: these serious health care corruption allegations about this UCP government are true, and there is even more to uncover. We now need a ful...

Last night, I was pleased to attend another sold out annual @friendsofmedicare.bsky.social fundraiser demonstrating the value Albertans place in this essential watchdog organization. #abpoli #healthcare
Yesterday, on the day that Danielle Smith and the UCP were supposed to release the CorruptCare report, they focused on license plates. I have been an MLA for the last 10 years. None of my constituents ever told me that new license plates were their main priority. www.youtube.com/live/gzdl3_m...

Tonight, my colleague @janisirwin.bsky.social and I joined NDP volunteers in Spruce Grove to knock on doors and talk to voters about the issues that matter most to them. As usual, I found that there is much more that unites Albertans than divides us. #abpoli #bettertogethersummer
As of today, Alberta has the lowest minimum wage in the country. Alberta also has the highest youth unemployment in Canada. The argument that raising the minimum wage increases youth unemployment is clearly not based in fact. It's time to raise Alberta's minimum wage. #abpoli #bettertogether
On Monday, Calgary high school student Evan Li tried to raise concerns about education at a town hall hosted by the UCP but the moderator refused to let him speak. Last night @naheednenshi.bsky.social gave Evan the opportunity to speak that the UCP denied him. www.youtube.com/live/VGmRBAL...

Yesterday, I chatted with Lloydminster Airport staffers Terry and Dayne about their hope that a new passenger carrier soon steps up to replace WestJet, which ended service to Lloydminster in 2023. This region deserves regularly scheduled air service. #bettertogethersummer #abpoli
Danielle Smith and the UCP's vision for Alberta "Pharmacare" is to charge seniors hundreds of millions more each year for prescription drugs--at a time when many Albertans are struggling with increased cost of family essentials. www.albertandpcaucus.ca/news/post/uc...
UCP government plans to charge seniors more for prescription drugs
The leaked documents outline that the UCP government’s increase in Albertan’s drug co-pays have been designed to cost Albertans $18 million in new fees.

What we heard during our Better Together Town Halls was what my staff and I hear every day in Edmonton-McClung. Albertans can get timely access to tests, surgery and vaccines. Health care providers can work as a team. We just need a govt that believes in public health care. #betterispossible
Naheed Nenshi@naheednenshi.bsky.social · last yr.Danielle Smith promised to fix healthcare in 90 days. It’s been over a 1000 days, and it’s only gotten worse. You told us what better healthcare looks like. We’re fighting for it. ⬇️ youtube.com/shorts/gBvdU...
Last weekend, I stopped by the Aldergrove Community League Day event. Many thanks to the volunteers who organize these events! They do amazing work, with and for their neighbours, to make our communities better places to live, work and raise a family. #communityleaguedayyeg
Last weekend, I attended the Daughters' Day event held every year at Edmonton City Hall to celebrate the contributions that women of all ages have made to building our community. I am always inspired after events like these and this year was no exception. #daughtersday
I was fortunate to be able to share a few moments with former Senator, global historian and renowned human rights advocate, author and scholar Doug Roche at the 17th Annual Sir John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights Awards Ceremony. #humanrights #abpoli
Today, I met with my constituent Mike, a disability advocate. He shared some thoughts with me about the UCP's planned changes to AISH that I would like to share with you. Later today, my colleague @marierenaud.bsky.social is hosting a Town Hall. To register: www.albertandpcaucus.ca/events/event...
Today, the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce hosted Canada's Minister of International Trade, Maninder Sidhu, who spoke of the need for trade diversification & the value of our International Trade Commissioner Services in a wide ranging fireside chat with Chamber President Doug Griffiths. #abpoli
