World Diabetes Day 💙
30 years with #T1D.

Still no complications.
Turns out it made me a fighter.

🔥 Proud to stand with Alberta’s teachers & students today. This fight is about more than wages — it’s about packed classrooms, growing challenges & a govt that won’t listen. 💪 When we fight, we win. And when we win, every student wins.

Spent #LabourDay at the Edmonton & District Labour Council BBQ 🌭 I come from labour (IBEW 2228) & giving back to our community is what keeps me going. Great food, great people, & a reminder that when we stand together, we’re stronger ✊

Back out on the line w/ Air Canada’s Flight Attendants. Workers have the right to strike.
Trying to legislate workers back to work is an attack on workers’ rights.
Nothing has changed with the Liberal govt — they don’t have the backs of Canadians. I stand w/ workers. ✊

Just because it was a full workday doesn’t mean I’d miss a chance to help pull the vote in Ellerslie tonight! 🚊 Took the LRT all the way from Clareview to Mill Woods—end to end, and I gotta say, I love the transportation options we have here in #yeg . 🧡

While Liberals force workers back on the job & Conservatives back billionaires, we fight for you.
