Hearing from @naheednenshi.bsky.social at our NDYA meeting! He’s always open & straightforward about his thoughts on party communications, particularly how we can change our approaches to framing our progressive ideas & how we talk about better being possible. Majorly appreciated. 🍊💜 #abpoli

Representing you in this chamber is an incredible honour of a lifetime and a responsibility that I’m deeply grateful for.
Thank you, Alberta.

“We need to look back on the leadership of Jack Layton who brought everyone along in our movement – because we must build an Alberta for everyone. He was a believer in the power of youth to make change happen, and we must, too.” #andp #ableg
If our progressive movement hopes to win the next #ableg election, we must find ways to better connect with young men.

April’s Labour Force Survey shows Alberta has the highest youth unemployment rate in the country.
Under Danielle Smith, young people are struggling to find careers where they can thrive.
Instead of trying to separate our country, the UCP should be fighting for good jobs for everyone.

WTI dropped $10/bbl in the last 48 hours.
That’s a $7.5 billion hit to our budget.
That’s what the Premier of Albertan referred to as a “BIG WIN”.

Much like the #CorruptCare contracts, the Minister's statement of defence just doesn't add up.
She can't claim she wasn't the AHS CEO's employer and then go on to write a 23-page complaint about the CEO's performance as her employee. 🧐
