As a former School Board Trustee, I’m deeply concerned and frankly outraged that Alberta ranks near the bottom in per-capita education funding. The UCP’s cuts are shortchanging our kids, our teachers, and our future

Join us TONIGHT at 7 PM for an Education Townhall!

What a debacle.

These Alberta Next panels are a sham.

...and including many neighbours, local businesses, and local dignitaries.

Thank you, Karen, for your tireless advocacy, your heart for public service, and for inspiring all of us. Here’s to many years of recreation and memories at Karen Leibovici Park! #ableg #abpoli

—from her early days as a social worker to her time as an MLA, and as a four‑term City Councillor who championed affordable housing, homelessness initiatives and so much more.

It was a true community celebration, lead by Connor and the fantastic Edgemont Community League team...

Saturday was a fantastic day for the grand opening of Karen Leibovici Park in Edgemont!

I had the honour of speaking at the proclamation and presenting a congratulatory scroll to former #yeg Councillor Karen Leibovici, celebrating her decades of unwavering public service... #yegsw

Huge congratulations to Umair, Hafisa, and the entire Pita Bowl team on your opening and best wishes for continued success!

Nathan Ip @nathanip.bsky.social · Jul 11

Watching entrepreneurs bring their passions to life is one of the best parts of public service. Their dedication not only enriches our local economy, but gives Albertans delicious, healthy options when we eat out. #yegfood #supportlocal #yeglocal

This week, @christinandp.bsky.social and I had the pleasure of visiting Pita Bowl in Edgemont and present owners Hafisa and Umair with a scroll commemorating their grand opening earlier this year. We tried some of the Mediterranean fusion wraps and bowls. The food is absolutely amazing! #yegsw #yeg

Instead of addressing issues Albertans actually care about, the UCP is more concerned with distracting from its disastrous record, which includes cutting funding for police services across Alberta. #ableg #abpoli

David Shepherd @dshepyeg.bsky.social · Jul 3

A provincial police force is a zombie idea that UCP just won’t let die.

Albertans have been clear: they don’t want it.

Even the vast majority of the rural leaders UCP claim they want to help but refuse to engage.

But Danielle Smith doesn’t care.

She wants it, she’s forcing it through. #ableg

The AB Government posted an $8.3B surplus for Fiscal 24-25.

But with rising cost of living, teachers on verge of striking, surgery waitlists & business uncertainty, the UCP Government is failing Albertans.

Public funds should be used to prepare our economy for the future & support the vulnerable.
