Social determinants of health 101. Right at the top of these determinants is…..POVERTY! #ableg #ahs #povertyinAlberta
Almost a quarter billion dollars in payouts to Australian coal companies. This UCP government is really bad at governing/economic development. The UCP is costing all of us money. They have to go! #ableg #nocoalminesoneastrrnslopes
Coach Bennett narrated my Nike Run this morning. Inexplicably he mentioned “Art is expected to move you” or “Art moves you”. Couldn’t agree more. To the legion of artists out there. Your art moves me. Thankyou.

Things Danielle Smith will spend millions of public dollars on:
✅ Advertising war against teachers
✅ Distributing worksheets

Things Danielle Smith won't spend any public dollars on:
❌ Improving public education
Worksheets aren't classrooms.

Danielle Smith will spend millions of public dollars on everything but offering teachers a fair deal.

Worksheets aren't classrooms, Premier.

Absolutely will continuing being on the side of trans kids and their families. It will never be another way, ever!
Hey @jceci.bsky.social I am a Calgary Buffalo resident and NDP voter and I urge you and all the other NDP caucus people to keep being forcefully on the side of trans kids and their families and friends.
Thanks to the UCP, the Calgary Board of Education now has a policy barring trans girls from sports (but not trans boys)…

And anyone can challenge the gender of a kid in school!

Tonight’s Lethbridge Town Hall with Naheed Nenshi is SOLD OUT. Coming to Red Deer and Edmonton soon.👇🏽
I’m pleased to announce registration is now open for our Better Together Town Halls in Red Deer on Aug 27 and Edmonton on Aug 28.

Register at BetterTogetherSummer.ca.

But first, I’m looking forward to our upcoming event in Lethbridge on Monday, Aug 18. See you soon!
32% of Calgarians are food insecure now. This is all happening under the UCP government! It’s terrible.

For Joe Ceci's birthday, we'd encourage you to follow in Joe's footsteps and:
- Do something good for your community
- Stand up for your values
- Read a book
- Support the arts
- Pet a cat
- Ride a bike
Or, do all of those AND make a donation to Joe at the link in bio.
Other jurisdictions have revoked permits for Sean Feucht's events on public property, why does the UCP choose to platform him at the Legislature?

Keep the pressure on, keep emailing and calling your MLA. Help send a clear message that there’s no place for hate in our public spaces.
Smith says her government doesn’t want to waste money on unused COVID vaccines. Let that sink in. They wasted $80M on Turkish Tylenol that sits in a warehouse to this day. Handed out bloated AHS contracts to friends. They refuse to promote public health. They are the worst.
So quick and easy to go to the pharmacist for COVID and flue shots. The UCP are anti-science and against making health care convenient and affordable. They are the worst.
Agree on all fronts Travis.
If only the conservative leaning media cared about what opposition parties had to say in this province.

The UCP government wasted hundreds of millions of dollars on Turkish Tylenol, bloated surgical contracts and unusable PPE. They’re not interested in saving money; they’re only interested in conspiracy theories attacking the science of public health.
I wish it worked like that - in rare cases it does but not here and not now. Sorry. (Our NDP channels are always open though)
@jceci.bsky.social
What are you and the rest of the NDP doing about getting those 3 or 4 loyal Canadians that must exist in the UCP caucus to vote non-confidence with you?

This is a significant finding from Alberta’s privacy and information commissioner and confirms what many FOIP users have long suspected.
The Ab NDP Caucus has been voicing objection to Bill 54 and we will continue to voice our opposition. Pls send me your email and I will share the Chief Electoral Officers concern about this Bill (just received 20 mins ago). Smith should call a general election instead of pressing for a referendum.
My heart goes out to everyone affected by the senseless tragedy in Vancouver last weekend. The entire country stands with the friends and family of the victims of this horrific act.
Can't wait to get to #Jasper to run in the half marathon this weekend with @rachelnotley.bsky.social ! Hope she can keep up this year 🤣😂
I think Second reading of the Arts and Creative Economy Advisory Act 2024 will be up for debate on Monday. Let me and the Minister of Arts and Culture know what you think about it. Copy of the Bill in bio linktree.
If you don’t know Bill 211, it’s trying to give artists a louder voice in Alberta’s government. That can only be good for arts and culture.
I was successful in the Private Members lottery of Bill opportunities. So I drafted Bill 211 up. You can read it in my Link Tree in my Bio. (Facebook and Instagram)
