Substitute out “gender affirming care” with cancer care.

Or congenital organ defect repair.

Or mental health care.

This isn’t about providing fully informed consequence free care, because that simply doesn’t exist.

It’s about believing trans kids shouldn’t exist.

Bill 9 is unscientific and immoral. It does nothing to protect children. It is only designed to hurt them by denying doctor supported life saving care.

Kill Bill 9, not our children.

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

Alberta’s New Democrats want to help you keep your bills down, keep the lights on, and keep our economy humming.

Contact your MLA and tell them to vote in favour of Bill 203.

NDP - How did the government get advice that a company that had only been in existence for three months was world renowned and then hand them $70 milllion?

UCP - Let's do lunch!

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.

Aa handful of complicit sycophants does not count as "many great legal scholars." Also, they urged people to disobey illegal orders, which is part of their training and required by law.

Wait WHAT?!?

Dale Nally somehow audited the voting records of Albertans and is using that as a metric for who can initiate recall?

And now all of the applicant statements and member statements have been removed from Elections Alberta?

How would an MLA know which constituents vote in a provincial elections? This information is privileged only to Elections Alberta.

Also, any elector can initiate a recall, irrelevant of whether they vote. UCP wrote this law.

Take note Alberta! Don’t be fooled by the fantasy promises based on no data! Think first about what we would lose, passports and embassies, currency, the federal parks like Banff and Jasper, a railway line, a military! No business is going to feel secure investing in a place with none of the 👆
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.
