When the UCP implemented its renewables moratorium, followed with measures to slow down Canadian energy, it told investors were closed for business. Albertans lost on projects and jobs, and others are eating our lunch. This was predictable #ableg www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

On June 23rd, we can choose better for our province. I'm proud to run as your Alberta NDP candidate to fight for the strong, competent, and ethical leadership that we deserve. Together, let's build a province where #BetterIsPossible. For Edmonton-Strathcona. For Alberta. For all of us.

Montem: 1) dumped debris into Crowsnest Creek while installing a bridge. 2) In the process it had failed to install erosion & sediment controls at site. 3)dumped more material on a floodplain without proper drainage 4) excavated two borrow pits without provincial authorization on public lands.

Can one of the UCP government’s four health ministers provide an update on the measles outbreak and their plan to contain it? Folks, get your kids vaccinated. Vaccines work and this is a preventable disease. Call 811 if unsure about your family’s vaccination record #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

1/ ICYMI - the Alberta Energy Regulator approved Northback’s coal exploration program on Grassy Mountain. Tell the UCP: there is no place for coal mining in the pristine eastern slopes. Email the premier, the energy minister, the enviro minister, and copy me: [email protected].

Alberta’s New Democrats know that better is possible and that work starts now, hand in hand with you. Join us. #BetterStartsNOW Get involved ▶️ albertandp.ca youtu.be/3GD1q67wi_0

In the dead of night, the UCP passed the most comprehensive set of anti democratic reforms in Alberta history. No public consultation. No meaningful debate. How bad is Bill 54? Not horrible if you like Trump-style democracy. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

The outcome hardly matters - a referendum campaign itself will hurt the province, the economy, and the UCP. Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #carney #yyc #yeg #Alberta

What's good for Alberta is good for Canada, and we can only do that by building relationships. Smith's separatist rhetoric hurts our relationships with other provinces and the federal government. Most importantly, it's hurting Alberta's economic interests. #abpoli #ableg youtube.com/shorts/ds7RB...

1/ TIER or Alberta’s industrial carbon pricing has helped Alberta attract billions of dollars in investment, incenting industry to reduce emissions while creating thousands of jobs. TIER has helped reduce 36 megatonnes of emissions to date and attract many projects like:

Succinct summary 👇 #ableg

Today, Chief Troy Knowlton of Piikani Nation made it clear to Smith that she has not only united First Nations in Alberta against Bill 54 and separation... She's united First Nations across Canada against what she's doing. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The fight we face is with President Trump, not Ottawa, and certainly not each other. Danielle Smith is dividing our country and picking fights in a moment that calls for national unity. Watch my response to the Premier's address: youtu.be/d4e8Xu5xtqU

Better is possible now 🔥

Congratulations to Prime Minister Mark Carney on his victory, and to all the newly elected MPs across Canada. It’s now time to set aside the divisive battles and come together to serve Canada in a time when the nation is under existential threat. /1

When I tip a server, I expect that the gratuity will go to the worker only. I was surprised to learn that’s not always the case. Ask the UCP to support Christina Gray’s bill that will create those standards #ableg

My heart goes out to all Canadians, but particularly those in the Filipino Canadian community in light of the senseless and devastating event in Vancouver last night at the Lapu-Lapu Day festivities. What should have been a euphoric celebration ended in unthinkable darkness.

Last month, I told the minister of technology that if he is in the data centre business then he is in the power business. The government requires a comprehensive strategy that would pull together several ministries to make these investments happen. www.instagram.com/reel/DI6y3TK...

"It is all entirely preventable with immunization." This could have been the UCP's message on measles had they let Dr. Mark Joffe speak freely as the Chief Medical Officer. Get vaccinated. Call 811 if you're unsure about your vaccination record #ableg Measles is a horrible disease.

This Earth Day, let’s protect what matters. The UCP is reopening the door to coal mining in our Rockies, risking our water, land, and future. Albertans have said no. It’s time the government listened. ✍️ Sign the petition: www.protectourmountains.ca

I wish all Albertans observing Good Friday a meaningful and blessed day.

“Enjoy your personal tax cut, Albertans; check out your municipal property taxes to find out where the money came from. To quote the minster to Alberta’s municipalities: “They’re not required to be happy with the decisions that we make.” #ableg edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

📽️⤵️ Watch Former UCP Minister Peter Guthrie challenge the UCP's #CorruptCare cover-up today. The Premier needs to call a public inquiry and give Albertans the answers we need. If she refuses, we can't help but wonder what she's trying to hide. #abpoli #ableg

Happy Passover to Jewish Albertans in #yycglenmore and throughout Alberta who will gather around the Seder tables, reflect on stories of strength and resilience, and celebrate with friends and family. Chag Pesach Sameach!

Coal mining in the eastern slopes would leave Albertans on the hook to clean up the mess. The environment minister tries convincing us the Mine Financial Security Program is sufficient. It doesn’t require a mathematician. How is $1.71B in financial security supposed to cover $57.3B in liabilities?

📢 PROTECT OUR MOUNTAINS! 🏔 ❌ Say no to coal mining in the Eastern Slopes. That’s the message that ranchers, farmers, water councils, and everyday Albertans want the UCP to understand. Alberta’s New Democrats are listening. and we stand with you. #ProtectOurMountains #BetterisPossible

The UCP gov’s “modernized” coal policy is an oxymoron. There’s nothing modern about open-pit coal mining in the majestic Rocky Mountains. There’s nothing modern about mountaintop removal in the eastern slopes It’s insulting to Albertans’ intelligence Sign the petition protectourmountains.ca #ableg

Without any fanfare, the UCP government quietly released the so-called “Mature Asset Strategy” authored by Mr. David Yager. The report has an “insurance fund” to cover for the inactive wells and the mess left by bankrupt oil and gas companies. #ableg #abpoli

The Premier is celebrating a “big win” while thousands of people are losing their jobs and energy prices are plummeting. We need a plan to protect workers and strengthen our industries, but she is more interested in securing her next appearance on Fox News than in addressing Albertans' needs.

So much “winning” under the UCP 🙄 Albertans feel strongly Canadian and proudly Albertan. There’s no contradiction. We need a Team Canada approach to combat the Trump tariffs 🇨🇦 #ableg #cdnpoli

Today Alberta’s New Democrats are putting forth a motion to hold an emergency debate on the impact these US tariffs will have on Alberta and what our government needs to do to properly protect our province. 🚨Tune in at 3PM. 🚨 www.youtube.com/user/Alberta...

The UCP government must simply apply the law, enforce regulations, and stop political interference in the Alberta Energy Regulator. If the government is abandoning the Polluter Pays principle, they should just say so instead of misleading the public with the "Mature Asset Report" scheme. #ableg
