Today we remember the six lives lost in the Québec City Mosque attack and stand with survivors, families, and affected communities.
The green square symbolizes remembrance and solidarity.
Please take a moment to remember those impacted.

Alberta’s New Democrats are calling on the UCP to declare a state of emergency to address the health care crisis.
We cannot wait another minute to take action.
Our lives depend on it.

Sixty children have died in the care of this government over the last year.
We cannot ignore the needs of some of the most vulnerable people in our community, and the UCP must do everything in their power to ensure these kids have the support they need.

Justice Wyant’s report on #CorruptCare states on Page 3 that “unlike a public inquiry, this investigation did not have power to subpoena or hear testimony under oath. As a result, people had the opportunity to decline to be interviewed. Some did.”
We need a full public inquiry now.

Last night, I went to the “Life of Pi” play at the Citadel Theatre with @janisirwin.bsky.social and @dianabatten.bsky.social!
If you're looking for a night out with friends or family, check out the Citadel Theatre. This year marks its 60th anniversary as a true gem in Edmonton’s arts scene!

Teachers are being told to make do with overcrowded classrooms and zero support while the UCP refuses to fund new schools or plan for growth.
It's not neglect. It’s a conscious choice.
And it’s failing Alberta’s kids.
Let's talk about it. ⬇️

I'm happy to hear you were able to pre-order & I share your concerns about the UCP govt's ability to deliver for Albertans.
This approach to Public Health is risky and I'm not in favour of gambling with the lives of Albertans. Shame.
