Albertans pay some of the highest utility bills in the country. We can fix that.

Albertans believe in Charter Rights.
New Democrats will protect them.
For teachers, for the trans community, and all Albertans.
There was a huge crowd of allies at the Trans Day of Remembrance & they were not happy about the UCP's use of the notwithstanding clause.

Two-tier American-style healthcare is not the solution.
Wait times, understaffing, and access issues won't be fixed by forcing people to pay to see a doctor.

UCP calls for a referendum on “late term abortion”
Abortion is health care. It belongs between a patient & their doctor, not on a ballot & not in the UCP’s talking points.

Albertans paid the price for the UCP’s $125 million dollar political experiment with public health care.
Wait times grew, errors increased, and patients suffered from waiting too long for routine appointments and delaying cancer treatment.
