Breaking news!

The UCP’s terrible triple bill is a flop in rural Alberta.

Their marquee trilogy of Bills 18, 20 & 21 has earned a universal thumbs down from critics across the province.

I took a moment to read the reviews. #ableg

When will the data for opioid deaths form December be released to the public? Albertans have a right to know if the UCP’s policies are working or not. First, the minister said it’s not up to him. Then he said he’ll release them as soon as he has them. Which one is it? #ableg

This is a choice. Danielle Smith is choosing to make us poor.

Rural Municipalities Association: “It is extremely hard for a conservative government to make rural Alberta mad, and they’ve done that successfully in three acts.”

From housing to energy to food, everything is going up. Here's how Alberta — especially Calgary — is losing its affordability advantage. #yyc #alberta #inflation #affordability #squeezed calgaryherald.com/feature/albert…

This is the result of 5 years of incompetent, unethical UCP government.

Thank you Demetrios Nicolaides 🇨🇦 🇨🇾 for acknowledging the request from Calgary Board of Education & immediate need for #schools in KCA Calgary Sage Hill Community Sherwood & Nolan Hill.

How much longer do parents have to wait for funding to be allocated & for construction to begin?

We need schools now.

Minister Nicolaides rattling off a list of unfunded school project requests from Calgary Board of Education in response to my request that he do something about school crowding in Calgary-Elbow is one hell of a flex.

The UCP is appointing a partisan to be our new Ethics Commissioner. Someone who donated thousands of dollars to the conservatives, someone who ran to be a UCP candidate.

And now they have just limited debate in the legislature. They want this to happen quietly. It’s shameful.

UCP ending debate in the House in order to appoint a partisan ethics commissioner. Flouting democracy in order to flout democracy. The Russian nested dolls of democracy flouting.

Danielle Smith ordered a report on Sean Chu and will not table it to the House, even though I asked for it last week.
Instead, she invokes Sean Chu -again- as an excuse to repudiate municipal democracy. #ableg

I'm thinking of everyone in Fort McMurray right now. Stay safe out there.

Lol, weeks after announcing a “plan” to build more passenger rail, the UCP kills a massive passenger rail project.

Schools in Calgary-Currie have seen a lot of new enrollment during the year so I asked the Education Minister if we can expect any extra support. They did inject funding mid-year... last year. I'll keep up the pressure to make sure it isn’t just a one-time thing. #yyc #ableg

What an exciting Grand Opening of Engine 23 in Fish Creek Public Library!
It was so much fun to see so many kiddos lined up with their families, excited to meet the Firefighters & see the new engine addition!

Last payment of 20k delivered! We did it folks. Thank you to everyone who contributed to my campaign and helped. I am so very grateful! #blessed #ndpleadershiprace2024

I’m sorry to hear this, Gil. You brought an important voice to this race and I think that your ideas on how to compete with the US in a new age of industrial policy have a lot of merit. I’m hoping to keep that conversation going.
