We believe in strong public health care — no fees, no shortcuts.
This is Danielle Smith breaking her election promise, and now the AMA is sounding the alarm. Her plan lets those who can pay skip the line and won’t fix wait times for anyone else.
Albertans deserve a system we can count on.

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.

Albertans already pay some of the highest car insurance rates — so who’s fighting for you?
I asked the UCP why not cap hikes at inflation?
Their answer: Absolutely not.

Today we take time to remember the millions of Ukrainians who perished in the Holodomor — a deliberate famine and genocide.

Disappointed but not surprised: the UCP voted down Bill 201—keeping Alberta’s minimum wage the lowest in Canada.
This bill would’ve raised wages, ended the unfair youth rate, and protected tips.
Albertans deserve better. We’ll keep fighting for fair pay and dignity at work. 💪🧡

Bill 201 does what this UCP govt won’t:
✔️ Ensures workers keep their tips
✔️ Ends the unfair youth minimum wage differential
✔️ Raises the minimum wage $1 a year to reach $18
It’s good for workers, & it gives employers the predictability they need to plan. Let’s get it done

“This should be an easy vote. Saying yes to Bill 201 means standing with workers and improving wages and affordability...” said Nenshi.
“On Monday, the UCP will decide whether this bill passes and whether workers get the fairness they deserve.”

A year ago, the Auditor General flagged serious safety issues in govt-owned housing & there’s no plan to fix over $1 billion in repairs put off by this government. Instead of addressing these concerns, they're firing the AG. Dignified housing isn’t optional. It’s a right.
