Today, I attended the Remembrance Day Ceremony at the Kingsway Legion.

We remembered all those who have served and continue to serve Canada. Those who served in war and in peace. Your sacrifice and dedication will never be forgotten.

Lest we forget.

Unbelievable.

This AM UCP MLAs voted to undermine the crucial work of the Auditor General & Chief Electoral Officer on an investigation into gov’t corruption & petitions to recall their colleagues.

Unprecedented & unacceptable levels of arrogance & entitlement.

On Thanksgiving day, we come together with our neighbours, friends and family to be thankful.

I know I am thankful for living in the northeast surrounded by strong community leaders who volunteer their time throughout our community leagues, religious institutions and schools!

A local teacher visited my office yesterday!

We had a conversation about the difficulties teachers and students are facing in Alberta’s classrooms.

Let’s keep supporting our teachers to defend our public education system and create a better future for our province.

Better is possible!

Just a reminder that schools will be closed starting tomorrow, Monday, October 6th due to the teacher's strike.

Today, I visited our local schools to drop off some sweet treats and show my support and appreciation.

The UCP’s refusal to bargain in good faith leaves parents scrambling as a strike is set to begin Monday, October 6th.

Alberta's NDP stands with teachers, parents and students.

Alberta's students are worth so much more than the lowest per-student funding in the country.

Investing in education is the BEST thing we could do to build a better future for our province. We'll never stop fighting for that.

We've received a leaked cabinet document showing that the Premier plans to increase co-pays for prescriptions.

This will force seniors to pay hundreds of millions more for their medications.

Cuts, cruelty and corruption. That’s the UCP playbook.

Across Canada, provinces are raising minimum wages this October to help workers.

In Alberta, the UCP refuses to act. Minimum wage has been frozen at $15 since 2018, the lowest in the country.

Families are struggling with rising rent and groceries while the government does nothing.

Unacceptable!

@peggybevclare.bsky.social and I had a wonderful afternoon celebrating Ireecha with Edmonton's Oromo community!

Thank you to Oromian Community Association of Northern Alberta for the warm welcome and delicious food!

It's Agricultural Societies Day in Alberta!

Thank you to the staff and volunteers at our societies who work tirelessly to help make rural Alberta an extraordinary place to live, work and play.

Last night, I went to the “Life of Pi” play at the Citadel Theatre with @janisirwin.bsky.social and @dianabatten.bsky.social!

If you're looking for a night out with friends or family, check out the Citadel Theatre. This year marks its 60th anniversary as a true gem in Edmonton’s arts scene!

The UCP government is leaving Albertans with more questions than answers with this latest move to include citizenship markers on provincial IDs.
