Leaked documents show the UCP pushing Alberta towards a two-tiered, privatized system.
I challenged the Minister today and got denial instead of answers.
With 1M Albertans without a family doctor, we need public health care strengthened now, not undermined!

The UCP’s plan to tackle wait times by introducing private pay in our health-care system is a step backward.
✅ It worsens access
✅ It widens inequity
✅ It jeopardizes quality & health outcomes
This has been tried before, & makes wait-times worse.

Opinion: Private-pay medical testing is no solution to wait times
We urge Alberta’s policymakers to resist the false temptation of paying for private access as a “solution” to wait lists.

Vaccine preventable diseases are back such as Measles.
This is a critical moment for Alberta's public health leadership.
I have written to Minister LaGrange outlining the necessary public health steps needed.

Alberta declares a tuberculosis outbreak in Edmonton.
This combined with such an increase of homelessness is terrible.
This comes just days after Canada lost its measles elimination status—with Alberta having highest case concentrations.
PUBLIC HEALTH LEADERSHIP NOW!

We can LEAD regaining Canada’s reputable outbreak control.
Fighting Measles is a two-front battle:
1. 🦠 The virus itself.
2. ❌ The rampant misinformation about the vaccine.
Our under-resourced health workers can't do it alone.
We need the political will of the government.

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.

“Measles is a disease of the human race. There is no animal reservoir, no insect vector, and only one antigenic strain.
Measles is not only preventable—it can be eliminated, given the necessary resources and drive.”

Albertans used to get COVID-19 vaccines easily and for free at pharmacies.
Now access is limited, confusing, and costly. Some must travel hours to get a dose.
Vaccines are basic preventative care. They shouldn’t be this hard, and this government has no plan to fix it.

Smith is silencing the investigators.
Fired the AHS CEO & the entire board for looking into corruption.
Now firing the Auditor General for exposing corruption.
When you fire the watchdogs, it's not about efficiency—it's about avoiding accountability.

A shameful first for Alberta. The UCP is using the Notwithstanding Clause to force teachers back to work and impose a contract 90% rejected.
This is an attack on workers' rights and a distraction from their failure to fund our classrooms.
We condemn this abuse of power.

When a teacher's lunch hour is not their own, it underscores a system that stretched them to limit.
This level of pressure is unsustainable & doesn’t lead to better education outcomes.
That is why I stand with teachers for better support.
The premier should start listening!

Our healthcare system is being deliberately dismantled.
✖️ Fragmenting services.
✖️ Diverting public funds to for-profit corps.
✖️ Ignoring and alienating our health experts.
Market-driven care creates inequity and costs more to the public.

Alberta has world-class vaccine infrastructure & highly trained health professionals to deliver.
Charging seniors for a COVID19 vaccine? That’s a barrier to access & a public health risk.
When cost prevents people who need the most from getting vaccinated, we all pay the price.
