Our monthly coffee chats have been a great way for me to hear from constituents about what matters to them: affordability, education, healthcare, and life leases.
Next, we'll be at Remedy Cafe in Terwillegar Saturday November 22nd from 10 - 11:30 am.
I hope to see you there!

Nearly half a million Albertans have said it loud and clear: we’re proud Canadians.
It’s time for the UCP to admit they were wrong and join us in denouncing separatism once and for all.

I am angry and heartbroken about this, as a parent, as someone who knows the Thomas family, and as an Albertan.
There are real consequences to real families and real children when we don’t treat public healthcare as a priority.
This is unacceptable.

The report commissioned by the Alberta government into allegations of corruption in the health system is out and everyone should read the caveats spelled out by the retired judge at the outset to understand what's in there, and more importantly, what's not. #ableg

NDP House Leader Christina Gray ripped into the flaws of the Eyant report as well today…
She highlighted the shortcomings of the report, how that was by design to allow Smith and her cabinet to avoid accountability & that the judge felt he wasn’t able to get full answers.

Utter contempt and disrespect from Bruce McAllister.
Cutting off the kid's mic and limiting his freedom of expression is one thing, but saying he should be spanked is a fireable offense from a supposedly neutral moderator. Bruce needs to be removed immediately.

Thank you, Alberta students, for using your voice to stand up for public education.
We know that you are worth more than the lowest education funding rate in the country.
Your futures are worth so much more.

Government’s job is to fund public education properly so all kids can succeed.
It’s not to ban books or question your child’s gender.
They want us to be distracted by the latter so they can get away with failing at the former.
Don’t let the UCP get away with any of it.
