Israel’s plan of forced starvation, ethnic cleansing & annexation continues. Mark Carney must act. Arms embargo. Sanctions. Suspend trade w/ settlements. Recognize Palestine. This is the worst it has been & only the international community can stop this horror. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Mattias, Liam, JJ, Luke & Dane are energetic, entertaining & added tons of personality to our campaign. Thank you all! Campaign 2025 is over and I wanted to shout out the incredible folks that worked so hard to get me re-elected! I am so grateful for the incredible Edmonton Strathcona team! 🧡💪🧡

Congratulations and thanks to my friend, Don Davies, who has been named the NDP interim leader by the Federal Council. I look forward to working with Don & all New Democrats to deliver a fairer Canada for all. There’s a lot of work ahead but New Democrats are definitely up to the task.

Today is Red Dress Day - a day to remember and honour Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls & Two-Spirit people. The red dress is a symbol of those taken and a call to all for urgent action for justice and change. Today, and every day we remember. #RedDressDay #MMIWG2S

Ann has volunteered on every one of my campaigns. Whether it’s knocking on doors, talking to constituents, or helping with the signs, Ann has always been there for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Campaign 2025 is over & I want to shout out the folks that worked to get me re-elected! 🧡💪🧡

Pierre Poilievre in a nutshell. If ever there was a case to drain the swamp...

To stand together with these incredible folks fills my heart with hope and gratitude. The New Democratic Party will rebuild stronger than ever. How can we not when we have such an amazing team! 🧡💪🧡✊🧡

Are you even at an NDP Convention if there isn’t an adorable baby to hold - an adorable baby who appears to be raising her fist in solidarity btw. 😉 (Not sure how I wrestled this one away from @rachelnotley.bsky.social but I’ll take it!)

Best part of convention is meeting friends from across Canada. Welcome to Edmonton, @carlabecksk.bsky.social!

I joined the Edmonton Filipino community at the candlelight vigil for the victims of the Lapu Lapu Festival tragedy this week. It was a heartbreaking event but I was grateful that our community could come together to share our collective grief and pain.

This is Billie, Amelia & Bradford. This incredible crew started door knocking with us in January on a snowy, icy day & have knocked on doors ever since in Edmonton Strathcona, Centre, Manning & Griesbach.They are amazing! Campaign 2025 is over & I wanted to shout out the folks that worked so hard!

This is Wanda. Wanda is an absolute machine - a kind, funny & very sweet machine. Over the course of the campaign Wanda spoke to over 3000 constituents! Amazing work Wanda! Thank you! Campaign 2025 is over & I wanted to shout out the incredible volunteers who worked so hard to get me re-elected!

Getting out the vote with Michael Phair and Trisha Estabrooks! 🧡🧡🧡

VOTED!🗳️

Today is election day and I want to thank everyone who worked on our campaign - who volunteered in Edmonton Strathcona and across the country - and every single person who believes in a strong democracy and a strong country. Get out there and vote, folks! 🧡🗳️

I am horrified and deeply saddened by the tragic deaths of 9 people and the many more injured in Vancouver last night during a Lapu Lapu Day celebration. My thoughts are with the Filipino community in Vancouver and throughout Canada.

In a country as big, beautiful and diverse as Canada, we need a strong independent public broadcaster. Let’s protect our cherished CBC! Vote NDP!

I joined an amazing crew of volunteers to clean up the Forest Heights neighbourhood this morning! Together we pulled 14 shopping carts, furniture, and many bags of litter and garbage out of the ravine. It was hard work but very rewarding! I’m so proud of our community!

Bonjour Bonnie Doon! #VotezNPD 🧡

If you are voting for action on Palestine this election — you need to send New Democrats back to Parliament. Liberals will do nothing without more pressure from Canadians outside Parliament, and NDP inside Parliament. Vote for International Law. Vote for Human Rights. Vote for Peace. Vote NDP.

This is Carly! Carly has walked over 100km during this campaign - knocking on doors, listening to constituents, answering questions, and sharing why electing New Democrats is good for Canadians! She’s an absolute rockstar. Thank you so much Carly!

Come volunteer on Monday - election day! You’ll meet awesome people - it’s tons of fun - and you can be part of a team that elects more New Democrats in Edmonton! Visit heathermcpherson.ca to sign up!

Thanks Rachel!

London-Fanshawe is a stronghold of working-class power, seniors, veterans, progressive women and many people who rely on us. While some parties ride national coat tails and stir division, we stay rooted in the community, mobilizing in our neighbourhoods, and fighting for people every single day.

New Democrats beat the Conservatives in Edmonton. Don’t believe national aggregates, don’t believe the Liberal spin. We have seen this play before and it’s clear - the NDP are the only ones who will beat Conservatives. Vote NDP to stop Conservatives in Edmonton!

Yesterday was yet another amazing day on the trail! 🧡 We hit doors across Edmonton Manning, then capped it off with an amazing rally at the Art Gallery. People are fired up about healthcare, affordability, and real leadership. The momentum is real—let’s keep it going! 💪 #NDP #EdmontonManning #yeg

Amazing energy! Amazing people! Amazing night! There was so much enthusiasm and excitement in the room for Trisha Estabrooks, Rachel Notley and Jagmeet Singh last night! We know life is better for Canadians when we elect more New Democrats!

The team that door knocks together, cheers together! #GoOil💙🧡 #GoTrisha🧡🧡

Trisha is the only one who can beat the Conservatives in Edmonton Centre and every vote counts! Vote for Trisha Estabrooks today at the advance polls from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM! 🗳️

This election, New Democrats reaffirm our total support for Ukraine and for the Ukrainian people. Ukrainians are defending their country with courage. Their fight is our fight: for democracy, for international law, and for a world order based on justice and accountability. 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇦

Look who I found! 🐇🥚 Happy Easter Day everyone.

So honoured to have been selected by Lead Now as a 2025 Raise the Bar Champion (visit leadnow.ca to learn more). And completely delighted to meet the Lead Now team outside the Old Strathcona Farmers Market this afternoon. All my favourite things - social justice, local food & the coolest folks. 🥰🧡

Door knocking with the BEST people in Riverdale. While I’m sad that I don’t represent this incredible community anymore, I know that Blake Desjarlais is going to be the very best MP for Riverdale, for Edmonton Griesbach, and for our city! Vote for Blake today! 🧡

For the past 6 years I have had the honour to represent you as your Member of Parliament for Edmonton Strathcona. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished and I’m ready to continue fighting for you and your family. Together we can build a strong, resilient nation that works for everyone!

Get out there folks! Advance polls are open today through Monday. This election is important and every vote counts! 🧡🗳️🧡

In Edmonton, New Democrats beat Conservatives - when we vote smart! Websites like 338 use aggregate data that mainly comes from Ontario & Quebec - it misses what’s happening here in Edmonton. Liberals can’t win here. But the NDP can! Don’t split the vote! Vote NDP to stop the Conservatives. 🧡

When you wear the exact same pair of jeans as the young canvass team member. 😎💅

Door knocking in Fulton with this amazing crew! 🧡💪

We’ve seen it time and time again in Alberta - it’s New Democrats that can beat Conservatives! www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

We had snow, wind and really chilly temperatures out door knocking today in Malmo but nothing stopped our intrepid team (though they do look a bit cold)! ❄️💨🥶

The NDP representing at this morning’s Edmonton Chamber of Commerce meet and greet. 🧡💪🧡

Seriously, could there be a more New Democratic front yard? Caring for each other and our planet - values we can all get behind! 🧡

The kids are more than alright! 🧡 I had a great time at the McNally High School candidate debate this morning. The students had amazing questions and were so engaged. I just loved it! Sadly the Conservative candidate didn’t attend. He missed the opportunity to meet some incredible young people.

Really lovely to join Brenda at the Garneau Hall Seniors Community for “Politicking with Brenda” - a fun talkshow style show for residents. We talked about Donald Trump, housing, seniors issues, and so much more! Great questions from the audience too!

According to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, between January and March this year, more than 440 civilians were killed and over 2,200 injured, an increase of 47 per cent over the same period in 2024. www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

I am appalled by Israel’s missile strike on the Al-Ahli hospital - the last functional hospital in Gaza. Hospitals are protected under IHL. This is a war crime. The NDP reiterate our demands of the 🇨🇦 government: arms embargo NOW. Sanction Netanyahu & co NOW. Recognize the State of Palestine NOW.

*NDP celebratory alert* The wonderful Brian Mason, former ABNDP leader, was kind enough to knock on doors in Forest Heights with my team and I this afternoon. He is such a giant of our movement and I’m very grateful for his support. 🧡
