On #HumanRightsDay, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is once again showing no respect for the Canadian Charter of Human Rights.
I am confident that next election, the UCP Government will be held accountable for blatantly disregarding human rights of Albertans.

I had a wonderful time visiting seniors at Sage Hill Senior Living with @naheednenshi.bsky.social!
It was great to wish everyone a Happy Holiday & answer questions residents had about provincial government policies.
We will keep fighting for the best outcomes for all #seniors in Alberta!

Schools reopened, but the crisis is not over. Many teachers are burnt-out & talk about leaving the profession.
#Schools need more EAs, classroom space & supports #for teachers who do the important work of inspiring our future leaders.
New Democrats will prioritize AB students & education workers.

Today is #InternationalDayOfPersonswithDisabilities.
The UCP Government has failed to support vulnerable people on AISH or families on FSCD.
New Democrats are fighting for #accessibility legislation & will always be there to advocate for those who need it most.

The Alberta UCP can't be trusted.
They:
- made it easier for politicians to accept gifts while making you pay for #healthcare
- raised your auto insurance premiums by 15% while refusing to increase min wage
- emboldened separatists while risking your CPP
They've lost the plot.
