The Alberta NDP MLA for Calgary-Edgemont and the Official Oppositions Shadow Minister for the Status of Women. Advocate for education, healthcare, & women's rights.

Survivors need affordable housing, fair wages, accessible health care, and child care to build safe, independent lives. This Family Violence Prevention Month, we honour survivors and those supporting them, and recommit to building an Alberta where everyone can live free from violence.

The UCP had no mandate to replace the RCMP, threaten Canadian pensions, override Albertans' rights, or hold a costly separation referendum. They promised Albertans wouldn't pay for health care, yet they're privatizing services & passing costs to patients. Albertans deserve a government that listens.

The UCP government needs to deliver on the affordability needs of Calgarians, instead of gimmicks and fake announcements. The wasteful referendum costs could have been invested into the priorities of Albertans. Build schools and hospitals, deliver on basic public services.

75% of Albertans voted in support of Alberta remaining in Canada yet not single UCP MLA voted to support national unity. How can Albertans possibly trust that the UCP will focus on Albertans’ priorities when they can’t even vote for Canada?

A little appreciation for my wonderful colleague, MLA @dianabatten! Diana's compassion and dedication shine through in Bill 211, introduced today. Her bill would improve health care transparency by reporting on patient outcomes, helping us better understand the care Albertans receive.

The first bill this session from the UCP is attempting to sow more division amongst Albertans. It combines MAGA-inspired talking points with greatly important protections for victims of sextortion, intimate image abuse, and AI-generated deepfakes. Watch my remarks on Bill 33: youtu.be/yegMlLzX_KQ

Bill 33: Justice Statutes Amendment No. 2; Committee of the Whole October 29, 2026

The first bill this session from the UCP shows where their priorities lay. Sowing more division amongst Albertans with political wedge bills. It combines MAGA-inspired talking points with greatly…

I am so excited to work with such incredible women who are the future generation of history makers who fight to ensure gender equality in all facets of life. Thank you for being part of the amazing team that supports me to do this work and for already making this province a better place!

Monday Smith will unveil her new riding map. Hopefully this weekend someone reminds Smith and her UCP MLAs that it’s trick-or-treat … not Trick or Cheat! Albertans don’t want a Trump maga map!

It’s the time of year for our second annual community skate! Enjoy free skate rentals, hot chocolate, and light snacks.  Come chat with us, meet your neighbours, and enjoy an afternoon together. Sign up below: Free Community Skate: Events Calendar - Alberta NDP Caucus

One year ago, Danielle Smith used the notwithstanding clause to stomp on the rights of teachers by sending them back to work. Promises were made to teachers but nothing has changed for the learning environments for students. We can’t keep letting the UCP continue to hurt education in Alberta.

Alberta, you voted to save Canada. Albertans don’t want Danielle Smith’s maga-style gerrymandered map or two tiered American healthcare system. This is un-Canadian.

Calgary-Edgemont stood up for Canada and against division! With more than 13,500 doors knocked your message to me was clear: our community wants to remain part of Canada and protect the rights of our friends, family, and neighbours. I'm so proud of Calgary-Edgemont🍁

October is 2SLGBTQIA+ History Month! 🏳️‍🌈 This month, we celebrate the people, stories, and contributions that have helped make Alberta a more inclusive place. Everyone deserves to feel safe, accepted, and free to be themselves. That’s the Alberta I believe in, and I will always stand up for that.

We are deeply saddened by reports of the incident at CFB Wainwright. Our thoughts are with the brave Canadian Armed Forces members affected, their families loved ones and the broader military community. We are grateful to the emergency personnel responding and supporting those involved.

Such an energizing time at Dalhousie station this morning, handing out coffee and reminding folks to get out to vote to stay in Canada and no to the 9! Love how many folks have already voted. Advance polls are open today and tomorrow, and referendum day is on Monday! Go Vote for Canada! 🇨🇦
