Albertans already pay some of the highest car insurance rates — so who’s fighting for you?

I asked the UCP why not cap hikes at inflation?

Their answer: Absolutely not.

While ABs are facing some of the highest costs for groceries, utilities, & insurance in 🇨🇦 I reminded the UCP that is the responsibility of their govt to ensure that families can find safe, affordable housing. Every child deserves to fall asleep under a safe roof. Every parent deserves peace of mind

A year ago, the Auditor General flagged serious safety issues in govt-owned housing & there’s no plan to fix over $1 billion in repairs put off by this government. Instead of addressing these concerns, they're firing the AG. Dignified housing isn’t optional. It’s a right.

Families packed into tiny apartments. Seniors terrified they’ll end up living in their cars. Rent hikes pushing people to the brink.

Housing isn’t a luxury. It’s a human right.

I called on the UCP government to step up and finally address the need in our community.

🚨 Alberta’s healthcare is on the brink.
The UCP calls it ‘re-focusing.’ We call it chaos.
Respect workers. Listen to patients. Protect public healthcare. Before it’s too late.

The UCP is using the notwithstanding clause to dodge the Charter of Rights for five years because they know their law won’t hold up.

In Question Period, the Minister admitted what scares him most: labour unrest.

Well, Minister... you’ve got it.

Even my Grade 6 students understood that the Charter of Rights is the foundation of our democracy. The UCP clearly doesn’t.They’ve used the Notwithstanding Clause once. Who’s next on their list?

The UCP chose to trample our rights.
We chose to stand up — for students, for families, for teachers, for workers, for all of us. It didn’t have to be this way.

Outside the Alberta Legislature, teachers are standing strong.
Inside, we’re fighting back against Danielle Smith’s attack on democracy — the worst Alberta’s ever seen.
We stand with teachers.
We stand with students.
We stand for democracy.
Always.
