Over the summer, I attended the Disability Die In event in downtown #Calgary.
Listening to the voices of those who have disabilities is crucial to having a more equitable society.
Supports have to be available and #accessible, for everyone.

The UCP either wants Albertans to incur medical debt, or face long waits while people with money can access #healthcare sooner.
This is not what Albertans want. @albertandp.ca is fighting for effective investment in public healthcare to support our #doctors & #nurses

Today is the #TransDayofRemembrance.
A day to recognize the tragedy of lives lost due to transphobia & anti-trans violence.
A sad day in light of Alberta UCP policies that will lead to more fear & prejudice in this community.

The UCP hired 4 different AHS CEOs in the last 3 years.
They've overseen broken AHS procurement processes & even denied popsicles for kids with cancer at one point.
Now they want us to pay for services like Americans.
Why are they pushing US-style privatized healthcare? #ableg

In Spring, I shared stories about constituents stuck on surgery waitlists.
Now, instead of investing & supporting public healthcare, the UCP Gov is allowing private delivery of healthcare services.
New Democrats will always stand up for equitable access to public healthcare.

Indigenous people have lived in Alberta for generations.
Their wisdom about this land must be respected.
That's why New Democrats are fortunate to have MLAs @jodiabndp.bsky.social & Brooks Arcand Paul in caucus.
The AB Gov must also prioritize consultation with Indigenous communities.

Once again, Alberta’s UCP Government plans to suspend Charter Rights of Albertans.
First to attack teachers’ rights, now trans youth.
The Justice Minister proudly said his voice is the final voice on this matter.
It is not. The voice of the people is the final voice.

Costs are high & keep growing under Premier Danielle Smith.
But Alberta has the lowest minimum wage in Canada.
Bill 201:
- increases minimum wage
- ensures equal pay for equal work for youth
- protects workers’ tips
Alberta New Democrats are working to make life more affordable.

#healthcare
#education
But the UCP Government is focused on:
license plates
municipal political parties
increasing the cost of auto insurance
separatism
Make it make sense.

But we also have potential to grow in sectors like agriculture, technology, bioscience & much more.
