Grande Prairie, thank you for making our last Better Together town hall such a memorable one!

Hearing your stories, your fears, and your hopes and dreams for this beautiful province we call home was inspiring!

We'll be back again soon!

It's incredibly disappointing, but sadly not surprising, to see the UCP government has once again delayed their own carefully crafted report into the CorruptCare allegations plaguing their government.

Today, Albertans should be receiving Justice Wyant's delayed interim report into the UCP government's CorruptCare scandal.

When we say we're working hard to hear from you, Alberta's New Democrats mean it! Our hardworking team of MLAs loved hearing from you in Spruce Grove — our third town hall in TWO days!

We once had the best public education in the world, a reliable healthcare system, and a thriving economy.

But under the UCP, we've all but lost our advantage.

It doesn't have to be this way.

With Alberta's New Democrats, better is possible.

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. ⬇️

✊ Alberta runs on workers — and they deserve *respect, safety, and fair pay.*

If you work for a living, the UCP isn’t working for you.

This #LabourDay, *stand with the people who built this province and keep it strong.*

💪 Power is ours when we stand together.

If so, be sure to stop in at the Mill Woods Town Centre to check out the amazing Yego! lego event! On today & tomorrow (Sat&Sun).

Amazing lego displays, incredibly well supplied lego vendors, and some opportunities to build lego too! 🧡

The UCP erased 8 years of expenses, got caught, caved under public pressure—and still can’t explain how it happened.

That’s not accountability, that’s damage control.

Our first Better Together town hall was a great success this week.

The people of Lethbridge came out to share their pride in both our province and our country, and to speak with us about the issues that matter most to them.

Thank you to everyone who attended.

We’re all relieved that a deal was reached today between Air Canada and CUPE flight attendants.

Congratulations to the union and workers for getting a fair deal at the bargaining table. I was proud to stand with you to fight for the respect, dignity and fairness you deserve in the workplace.

The latest inflation data for car & home insurance, by province.

Alberta absolutely in a league of its own here.

Two line charts showing Alberta well ahead of every other province in terms of price inflation for auto insurance premiums (which have more than tripled since 2002) and home insurance premiums (which have increased more than sixfold).

Danielle Smith and the UCP promised savings and jobs. Instead, auto insurance is soaring, families are going hungry and youth can’t find work.

The Alberta NDP Caucus sees you, hears you and is fighting for you!

Are you sure you’re listening? 🤨

Danielle Smith’s waste-of-taxpayer-money “Alberta Next” panels turned rowdy in Edmonton.

It’s clear they’re not interested in hearing from Albertans. The UCP just wants to continue to push their costly, destabilizing ideas on Alberta.

The headlines say it all… 😐

The UCP is wasting money, hiding more each day, and ignoring your needs.

Albertans deserve an accountable government that listens and puts people first.
