This is 💯 on the UCP government. The UCP have cut social progams, crippled public health, silenced the CMOH, and dismantled AHS. There is no one left to be their scapegoat.
Measles proving to be the canary in the coal mine. Which preventable disease is next?

It's #Transgender awareness week.
PSA: We accept people for who they are.
No one should face hatred/discrimination due to their gender.
A child's health decisions are between them, their parents & doctor.
We stand firmly opposed to the UCP's attacks against trans people & youth.

Today we announced six more major nation-building projects that we want to get built, fast.
Each project is transformational. They’re part of bigger national strategies to build a stronger economy and create lasting prosperity.

Today, we honour the service of the brave women and men who answered the call.
Those who sacrificed years away from loved ones, those who returned from combat forever changed, and those who never came home — the veterans who served in the Canadian Armed Forces.

More than embarrassing. Dangerous, with the danger foreseen. Alberta has 38% of measles cases in Canada. It has only 11½% of the Canadian population.

I spoke with the Edmonton Journal about Canada losing its measles elimination status — the only G7 country to do so.
40% of outbreaks are in Alberta, where the UCP blocked its top doctor from urging vaccines.
Politics should never come before public health.

Well, we’ve tried the “let everything rip” approach to public health…perhaps we can now return to the days of evidence-based decisions. Call me old fashioned, but I don’t much care for the idea of kids dying from more preventable illnesses.
