Albertans already pay some of the highest car insurance rates — so who’s fighting for you?

I asked the UCP why not cap hikes at inflation?

Their answer: Absolutely not.

Disappointed but not surprised: the UCP voted down Bill 201—keeping Alberta’s minimum wage the lowest in Canada.

This bill would’ve raised wages, ended the unfair youth rate, and protected tips.

Albertans deserve better. We’ll keep fighting for fair pay and dignity at work. 💪🧡

What an incredible day in Beverly!
Started at the Beverly Heights Christmas Craft & Gift Show 🎄✨ and then hit the doors with volunteers to check in with neighbours.

Community, connection, and holiday spirit — and I’m always here to listen.

Honoured to join the Beverly Memorial Cenotaph for their 105th Remembrance Day. A beautiful morning to pause and reflect on those who gave everything in service to their country and community. Thank you to all who serve — in our military and as first responders.

While ABs are facing some of the highest costs for groceries, utilities, & insurance in 🇨🇦 I reminded the UCP that is the responsibility of their govt to ensure that families can find safe, affordable housing. Every child deserves to fall asleep under a safe roof. Every parent deserves peace of mind

A year ago, the Auditor General flagged serious safety issues in govt-owned housing & there’s no plan to fix over $1 billion in repairs put off by this government. Instead of addressing these concerns, they're firing the AG. Dignified housing isn’t optional. It’s a right.

Families packed into tiny apartments. Seniors terrified they’ll end up living in their cars. Rent hikes pushing people to the brink.

Housing isn’t a luxury. It’s a human right.

I called on the UCP government to step up and finally address the need in our community.

🚨 Alberta’s healthcare is on the brink.
The UCP calls it ‘re-focusing.’ We call it chaos.
Respect workers. Listen to patients. Protect public healthcare. Before it’s too late.

Alberta Workers Deserve a Raise

The UCP is using the notwithstanding clause to dodge the Charter of Rights for five years because they know their law won’t hold up.

In Question Period, the Minister admitted what scares him most: labour unrest.

Well, Minister... you’ve got it.

Even my Grade 6 students understood that the Charter of Rights is the foundation of our democracy. The UCP clearly doesn’t.They’ve used the Notwithstanding Clause once. Who’s next on their list?

The UCP chose to trample our rights.
We chose to stand up — for students, for families, for teachers, for workers, for all of us. It didn’t have to be this way.

Outside the Alberta Legislature, teachers are standing strong.
Inside, we’re fighting back against Danielle Smith’s attack on democracy — the worst Alberta’s ever seen.
We stand with teachers.
We stand with students.
We stand for democracy.
Always.

So much fun being part of the Candora Society Amazing Race staff retreat yesterday! 🏃‍♀️💨 Our Constituency Office got to be a roadblock and clue stop — and wow, what an amazing team-building adventure. Thanks for letting us join the fun and for everything you do for our community!

🔥 What an incredible turnout at today’s March to Fight for Public Education at Rogers Place

Proud to stand with so many amazing teachers, parents, and supporters — all making good trouble & fighting the good fight for Alberta’s students and our shared future 📚

Proud to join teachers for their morning walk Wednesday! ✊

We’re fighting for smaller classes, better supports, and stronger schools — because our kids deserve nothing less.

As a former teacher, I know we’ll always put students first. 💪

❄️ It might’ve been chilly, but spirits were high this morning walking proud with Alberta’s teachers for public education! Investing in our kids and giving teachers the tools they need to help every student thrive — that just makes sense. 🍎

Wishing you and your family a warm and Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡🍂
