I know a lot about managing natural disasters and emergencies. The number one rule is to take politics out of it and let the experts focus on keeping people and property safe. theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta…
This “concert” should not be allowed to be held at any public owned facility, let alone the Alberta Legislature. Pull the permit like other cities have done. There should be no space for hate on any public property. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new…
"In #Gaza, malnutrition has become a tragedy and a widespread reality”. An UNRWA doctor describes how they now have malnourished children on a daily basis. “The situation has worsened dramatically since the siege started in March 2025. Families report surviving on just one meal…

$1.28 billion in UCP waste. The latest flip flop added $143 million in spending to the UCP's failed record. The cost of this government keeps rising, and Albertans are paying the price.

#Gaza: People are being starved, while a few kilometers away supermarkets are loaded with food. UNRWA has thousands of trucks in neighbouring countries, loaded with food and medicines. We are just waiting for the green light. Lift the siege and let aid in at scale.
hockey canada acquitted, diddy not guilty, epstein clients covered up. women get abused, assaulted, have their lives ruined and if they have the courage and bravery to speak up the system does everything in its power to dismiss them. we will never be free, praying for E.M. today.
Hi, yes, g'morning. This is awkward. But targeting a reporter - hi! - with surreptitiously obtained photos and details of her tooling around town is an attack on the public's right to know. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
Jasper burned while the UCP played political games. The wildfire review says that government interference disrupted emergency crews and slowed response times. 358 buildings lost. Over $1.2B in damage. Danielle Smith must answer why she put politics over people’s lives.
From @CdnPressNews: A report into a wildfire that devastated Jasper last summer says crews did their best but command and control was hampered by the Alberta government. #abpoli #ableg theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta…
Let’s get this trending. Where’s the federal childcare transfer going @ABDanielleSmith? #Ableg #childcaregate
Alberta: You should know that… Although the UCP received day care funding from the dastardly federal govt? They did not put said funding into the program…the Auditor General finds. They just…what? Where is it?

Alberta’s New Democrats know we’re better together. That’s why while Danielle Smith hides from every day Albertans, stoking separatism at her stage-managed “town halls,” we’re going to be out in the community talking to you. Listening to you. #ableg
300,000 years of human history. How lucky we are to have lived in the same 49 as Andrea Gibson
This measles outbreak was preventable, but the UCP chose not to prevent it. Alberta has now reported more cases than the ENTIRE United States. Danielle Smith is ignoring health experts and putting our lives at risk to fuel her separatist drama. This crisis needs action now.
WOW! True North/Juno News just got slapped down hard by NDP leader Naheed Nenshi. (While Nenshi also called out Niccolaides as well) #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
The UCP falls short of its own affordable housing targets, despite an $8 billion surplus. "We know that investments in housing will will pay dividends down the road. These should be viewed as investments and not expenses." - @JanisIrwin cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
