Danielle Smith is using the fact that workers want better patient conditions and a raise so they can keep up with the cost of living as an opportunity to cancel public surgeries for people in pain and in need of procedures to prevent worse health outcomes.

Albertans don’t want to pull out a credit card when they visit a doctor. They’ve told Conservative Premiers this time and time again, which is why Danielle Smith promised to protect public health care in the last election.
Danielle Smith won’t stop lying to us. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli

Chaos, cuts, and a secret plan for American-style health care: The UCP’s leaked docs show a push for two-tier care where insiders win and Albertans pay. If Danielle Smith thinks people want this, she should call an election.

The UCP just voted against our bill to increase the minimum wage. We have the lowest minimum wage in the country. Food bank use is on the rise. 40% of the people earning minimum wage are supporting their children. It hasn’t gone up since 2018 when Alberta’s NDP was in government.

Yesterday, our incredible volunteers in Edmonton-Glenora joined supporters across Alberta for our province-wide Day of Action!
We were out in the community having meaningful conversations about health care, affordability, education, and what matters most to our neighbours. #ableg #abpoli #abndp

“A lot of people worked for a long time to achieve that measles elimination status, and to lose it in one year because of a failure of government action … for a disease that’s totally preventable, it just makes me sad."

Today, on Remembrance Day we pause to remember the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who defended our freedoms around the world.
We honour the generations of Canadians who gave their lives in service, as well as those who returned carrying wounds both visible and invisible.

The suspension of obstetrical services in Cold Lake is unacceptable. Families in Cold Lake and across Alberta deserve access to safe, reliable care close to home, not months of uncertainty.

Flu season is here! Protect yourself and those around you.
I got my flu shot to help keep my family and friends healthy. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes a big difference.
Vaccines are one of the most effective tools we have to prevent illness and protect the most vulnerable among us.

Today, on National Indigenous Veterans Day, we honour the strength, courage, and resilience of Métis, First Nations, and Inuit veterans who served Canada.
Their service and sacrifice have too often gone unrecognized, yet their contributions are woven into the fabric of our shared history.

It was wonderful to take part in Stollery Day at the Legislature again earlier this week. 💜
I met Harper, her sister Kinsley, and their parents, an incredible family full of strength and love. Harper was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy Type 1 when she was just seven months old…

Yesterday in the Legislature, I asked Danielle Smith why health care keeps getting worse under her watch.
When she became Premier, she promised to fix it within months. However wait times are up, family doctors are harder to find, and health care workers are burning out. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli

Last year emergency departments in Alberta were closed for more than 34,000 hours. Of those emergency departments that were open, over 200,000 Albertans gave up before seeing a doctor.
Albertans deserve a govt that will actually work with frontline staff to fix the problems. #abhealth #ableg #ableg

Too many Albertans are working harder than ever but still struggling to make ends meet. That’s why Alberta’s New Democrats have introduced Bill 201, legislation to raise the minimum wage, end the unfair youth minimum wage, and ensure service workers keep the tips they earn. #ableg #abpoli

Respiratory illness season is now upon us and hospitals in Edmonton and Calgary are already beyond full. The UCP government could have shown leadership in respect of public health workers. Instead they fired some and silenced others, resulting in the largest measles outbreak in North America.

Does the Minister of Hospitals agree with his colleague that medical professionals' experience and expertise must be central to public health decisions?
He didn’t answer. 👀 Watch to the end for the Minister of Children’s letter.

I know today is hard. You’ve been forced back into the same overcrowded, underfunded classrooms that led to this strike. It didn’t have to be this way.
Danielle Smith chose to trample on your rights by using the notwithstanding clause to silence you instead of listening.
