Happy Flashback Friday! Last weekend, I had the pleasure to attend the Canora Community League Hall Retrofit and Revitalization Groundbreaking ceremony.

Community Leagues are important hubs for families and neighbours, and this project will help make Canora a better neighbourhood for everyone.

Public healthcare is too important. We can’t allow corruption under the UCP gov’t to erode our system.

These are just some of the post cards my office has received from teachers concerned about the UCP’s lack of support for our public education system.

Our funding is the lowest in the country. This should not be the case. Albertans deserve better.

Albertans deserve transparency and accountability. The UCP must release the findings of the Corrupt Care report.

Unbelievable. Chills.

Tens of thousands of teachers converging downtown just outside where Danielle Smith is addressing an audience.

I’ve never seen anything like this.

Time to listen up, Premier.

Time for a fair deal.

We stand with teachers.

While the circumstances that bring us together like this aren’t ideal, I am continually blown away by how amazing Alberta’s teachers are. Their commitment and care is awe-inspiring.  

Thank you for all you do for our kids! #WeStandWithTeachers

Corruption within Alberta’s public healthcare system is every Albertan’s business.

Release the CorruptCare Report

A grade 1 classroom with 43 kids is unacceptable.

Teachers are still on strike. Parents are struggling. Kids are caught up in the middle.

Tonight, Amanda and I are sitting down to talk about the impact of this strike on Albertan families across the province.

Persons Day is this week and we now honour the women who fought to be recognized as “persons” under the law. They knew that without a voice in decision-making, women’s lives and labour would always be undervalued.

A Grade 1 class with 43 kids 😳

Naheed Nenshi @naheednenshi.bsky.social · 15d

Amanda's kids go to a school that's 141% over capacity.

A grade 1 classroom with 43 kids, where kids are eating lunch on the floor, and there isn't enough support to go around.

This is unacceptable.
Alberta's kids deserve better.

Lauren, a high school social studies teacher, is putting it all on the line to demand better from the UCP.

Better classrooms.
Better support.
Better public education.

All for Alberta's kids.

Thank you, Lauren.

Some have been asking what we did for education while we were in government.

See the facts below:

⛪️ Built & modernized 244 schools
💰 Funded education per student above the national average
🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Fully funded for enrollment & inflation every year

Alberta deserves better.

Better is possible. #abpoli

Scared for strike talk at the dinner table? Don't worry, we have you covered with the facts on education. ⬇️

Line chart showing Alberta’s real dollars per student dropping under the UCP. Text highlights: Alberta is last in per-student funding, class sizes of 40+, and that the UCP could have acted months ago.

Students walking toward a school. Text says Alberta’s NDP built and modernized 244 schools in four years, while the UCP has only built or modernized 78 in five years.

Student standing in a library aisle. Text says Alberta’s NDP funded education per student above the national average and that past NDP funding remains higher than the UCP’s, even with inflation.

Classroom scene with raised hands. Text says Alberta's NDP introduced a 2023 bill to bring back class size reporting, and the UCP defeated it.
