Premier Smith is already opening the door to the idea of Alberta separating from Canada.

But she’s forgetting that Albertans are PROUD to be Canadian! 🍁

The health mandate letters are out and it’s clear the UCP cares more about privatization and Corrupt Care than you.

While the UCP are siphoning public funds to private operators and charging people for vaccines, over one million Albertans still don’t have a family doctor. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli

The Premier and her UCP government have pushed Alberta’s education system to a breaking point by underfunding classrooms at the lowest level in the country for years.

We stand with teachers.
We stand with students.
We stand with Alberta families who deserve better.

As of today, Alberta officially has the lowest minimum wage in Canada. It hasn't increased since 2018, and that is unacceptable.

The UCP's refusal to act has left too many Albertans struggling to make ends meet for too long.

We need to raise the minimum wage and index it to inflation. Now.

Nothing like the smell of a new cafe in town! ✨☕

Stopped by Tulip Coffee and it’s already a new favourite. Big cheers to this wonderful local business — wishing you lots of success (and many, many lattes)!

Seniors across Alberta are struggling with the cost of living thanks to the UCP government. Now, new documents show that increases in Albertan’s drug co-pays have been designed to cost Albertans $18 million in new fees.

Our seniors deserve better.

Last week, we dropped off free backpacks filled with supplies to local schools, helping ensure every student has the tools they need to succeed.

A huge thank you to the educators and community partners who work tirelessly to support kids and families!

So rather than properly fund Alberta classrooms & support our kids, the UCP would rather waste YOUR taxpayer dollars on an ad campaign to attack teachers.

Make it make sense!

“This UCP government should be ashamed of the position they have forced Alberta workers into.” @peggybevclare.bsky.social, Alberta Shadow Minister for Labour.

We stand with these workers who deserve respect, safe working conditions, and fair wages for the critical work they do. #solidarity #abpoli

Our 2nd annual Back to School Bash was a huge success in Edm-South! We handed out dozens of backpacks filled with free school supplies & treats.

Every student deserves to have what they need to succeed and start the year with confidence! 🍎🎒

Alberta is facing some of the largest job losses in the country.

It’s especially bad for youth as the unemployment rate for students 15-24 averaged 18% this summer - the highest since 2009.

The UCP isn’t interested in creating jobs; they’re focused on chasing them away.

This UCP gov't released a budget defined by cuts, chaos and corruption.

"Despite all the cuts, they’ve still managed to drive the province into deficit. That means Albertans are paying more, getting less & still being left with a government that can’t balance the books."

The UCP government have put us in this situation where teachers are on the verge of strike. This is not the teacher’s fault. They deserve dignity respect and fair wages for the growing and complex work that they do for all of our kids.

Naheed Nenshi @naheednenshi.bsky.social · Aug 26

Parents aren’t blaming teachers; they’re blaming Danielle Smith. And they’re right to do so:

Alberta is the richest province in Canada, yet we spend the least per student. That’s not an accident. That’s a choice.

Let's stand with teachers and stand up for public education.

Let's stand with Alberta's teachers.

“Measles is spreading so quickly in Alberta, Canada, that health officials have stopped publicly releasing information about local exposures in the hardest hit areas and are instead issuing blanket warnings about travel to the northern or southern regions of the province.”

Danielle Smith's separatist agenda put everything at risk & her reckless choices are putting jobs, investment and public services Albertans rely on the line.

That's why we're spending our summer listening! Join us at events & townhalls across the province.

The killing of children and civilians - whether through bombs, starvation or terrorism - should devastate us all.

The Alberta New Democrats support the Canadian government’s call on the Israeli government to allow for the sustained and large scale delivery of humanitarian aid.

One year after the devastating Jasper wildfires, we continue to rebuild and heal. Today is a powerful reminder of the importance of preparedness, community & compassion.

If you can, visit your national parks & support our local economies to show Jasper you're with them!

“The UCP government exploited a life and death moment to pick more fights with the feds.”

Premier Smith and the UCP should be ashamed!

Naheed Nenshi @naheednenshi.bsky.social · Jul 18

The Jasper Wildfire review is damningly clear about one thing: the UCP government exploited a life-and-death moment to play political games.

And in their response to this report, rather than accepting responsibility and promising to do better, they lash out, insult others, and refuse any blame.
