Albertans are worse off than they were in 2019. It's time for a government that cares about you.
For the second time, the UCP has voted down Bill 201 — a bill that would have stopped restaurant owners from taking the tips their employees earned. Workers deserve to keep what’s theirs.

Premier Smith, protect workers’ tips, not your pals. Contact your MLA today. This is not okay.

Albertans are paying more for less. Smith allowed uncontrolled increases in auto insurance premiums, which will go up anaother 15% or more in the next two years. Time for a public model like Saskatchewan’s.

Separatism puts Alberta’s capital and investment returns at real risk. At the Heritage Trust Fund meeting I asked the fund manager if they had evaluated the impact of separatism, similar to an analysis they did on Brexit. The answer? No. Why not?

Leader @naheednenshi.bsky.social, my AB NDP colleagues, and I will continue to stand and march with teachers. As Albertans, we cannot take this lightly - these are our kids, our future. Using the notwithstanding clause to silence their voices is unconstitutional and unacceptable.

Thank you to all my incredible volunteers for joining the Call for Action today with @naheednenshi.bsky.social and my colleagues from @sgsp-abndp.bsky.social. Your dedication and energy remind us that we are truly better together.

Standing with our teachers today and every day. Alberta is Canada’s richest province - there’s no excuse for having the lowest student funding. Our classrooms deserve investment, not neglect. End this strike now, Danielle Smith.

Together with @naheednenshi.bsky.social

It’s Hindu Heritage month, a chance to celebrate Hindus in Canada. Remember, it’s the accomplishments of Hindus in Canada that help make Canada great.

Thank you Aveva for having me on your keynote panel! It’s difficult to build large projects right now, but Rachel Notely’s proved it could be done with the Transmountain Expansion. We need an Alberta government focused on building things to build our economy.

Underfunding and lack of support mean it’s not just students with complex needs being left behind - it’s all kids. One person can only do so much. No one should face these conditions, especially teachers. Premier Smith, end the strike. Give our kids the education they deserve.

Premier Smith, you boast about supporting public education, yet it’s teachers and education staff who make it work despite your government’s defunding. They deserve respect and fair treatment - they’re shaping the citizens of tomorrow, and our children deserve that today. End the strike now.
October 20, 2025 at 3:27 PM
Premier Smith, it’s time to end this strike. Teachers are asking for fair wages and manageable class sizes - so our kids can get the quality education they deserve. They are our tomorrow, and they deserve better today.

It's always a joy to talk to teachers!

Dan, a teacher and constituent, stopped by my office to talk about how overcrowded classrooms are failing to meet every child’s unique needs. Every student deserves the right support, resources, and education staff to help them succeed.

Premier Smith, our children, teachers, education workers, and parents can’t wait any longer. End this strike now and meet the fair, reasonable demands for better wages, safe classroom sizes, and the essentials every school needs.
