Today a few of us from the Alberta New Democrat Caucus were in Jasper to commemorate 1 year since the wildfire.

The message from local leaders, residents and first responders was clear: Jasper survived because people stood together.

And they need us to stand with them too. #ableg #bettertogether

There is currently an NWS flash flood warning in effect for all five boroughs of NYC.

But no City agency has posted it on this platform.

Please help spread the word.

Teachers don’t want to strike. They want to teach.

But the UCP has pushed them to the brink by refusing to invest in classrooms, ignoring basic needs, and treating bargaining like a political game.

Supporting public education means supporting the people who make it possible. #BetterisPossible

The Alberta Government is framing their abdication of public health measures as fiscal responsibility.

It is far cheaper to give someone a vaccine than to keep them on a ventilator.

Denying vaccines is one of the most most financially reckless things a government can do.

Liars gonna lie.
“I want to be clear: under the UCP’s Public Health Care Guarantee, we are committing to all Albertans that under no circumstances will any Albertan ever have to pay out-of-pocket to see their family doctor or to get the medical treatment they need.

The UCP isn't taking the measles outbreak seriously.

We have hospitalized Albertans due to this highly contagious disease and a public health alert in Calgary.

Yet, we find ourselves without a public health official during this critical time.

History books don’t prepare you for how many people will deny, downplay, or justify authoritarianism as it rises in real time. It’s a much different experience in person.

Refusing to be inclusive is not neutral.
In case anyone needed a reminder,

✨ Libraries are for everyone
✨ Visibility and symbols of inclusion matter
✨ Neutrality is not an option in times of injustice

I take this personally. My dad volunteered while imprisoned at Heart Mountain. He believed in a united front against facism. He was the only one of his squad to survive the war. The 100th was feted in deep red Texas by survivors of the Lost Battalion rescue, a heroic story now buried as “woke DEI”

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them.

There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.”

The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.
