The UCP is putting their ideology ahead of good health care.

American-style two-tiered health care will result in more expensive care and longer wait times for Albertans. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli

โ€œThe people that are forced to stay in the public system, those people who need the supports of a hospital, those people who canโ€™t afford to pay that โ€“ theyโ€™re going to wait longer.โ€ -Dr. Braden Manns, a physician at the University of Calgary #abhealth #abpoli #ableg

One of the things that makes me so proud to be Canadian, especially when you talk to people who donโ€™t live here, is our health care system. Instead of finding ways to make it better and more accessible for all, Danielle Smithโ€™s trying to find more ways to make it look like Trumpโ€™s America. #abhealth

Alberta's New Democrats are always proud to stand with health care workers.

ICYMI: A tentative deal was reached with @aupe.org AHS Nursing Care members avoiding a strike. The deal came through shortly after I got to the picket line on Saturday.

Huge respect for the LPNs and health care aides who stood strong for a fair outcome.

The UCP should be focused on reaching a deal with health care workers and strengthening public health care. Instead, they are pushing American-style two-tier health care and they have AHS calling patients to cancel their pending surgeries.

21.11.2025 20:18 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 6    ๐Ÿ” 2    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Danielle Smith is using the fact that workers want better patient conditions and a raise so they can keep up with the cost of living as an opportunity to cancel public surgeries for people in pain and in need of procedures to prevent worse health outcomes.

Albertans donโ€™t want to pull out a credit card when they visit a doctor. Theyโ€™ve told Conservative Premiers this time and time again, which is why Danielle Smith promised to protect public health care in the last election.

Danielle Smith wonโ€™t stop lying to us. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli

Chaos, cuts, and a secret plan for American-style health care: The UCPโ€™s leaked docs show a push for two-tier care where insiders win and Albertans pay. If Danielle Smith thinks people want this, she should call an election.

Albertaโ€™s New Democrats are ready. โœŠ #abhealth #ableg #abpoli

Had an amazing time at the All Is Bright Festival on 124 Street on Saturday! โœจโ„๏ธ

Itโ€™s always great to see our community come together to celebrate the season and support our incredible local shops. Thank you to Shop 124 Street & Area for another fantastic event. Already excited for next year! โ˜ƒ

When we were in government child poverty went down by 50%. Under the UCP the opposite is happening.

We will keep proposing good ideas that can help people live here with dignity.

The UCP just voted against our bill to increase the minimum wage. We have the lowest minimum wage in the country. Food bank use is on the rise. 40% of the people earning minimum wage are supporting their children. It hasnโ€™t gone up since 2018 when Albertaโ€™s NDP was in government.

Folks told us they are frustrated with Danielle Smithโ€™s attacks on teachers, the growing strain on our public health care system, and the UCPโ€™s reckless instability.

Albertaโ€™s New Democrats are ready to lead with competence, compassion, and integrity. ๐ŸŠโœŠ

Yesterday, our incredible volunteers in Edmonton-Glenora joined supporters across Alberta for our province-wide Day of Action!

We were out in the community having meaningful conversations about health care, affordability, education, and what matters most to our neighbours. #ableg #abpoli #abndp

Alberta's role in Canada's loss of measles elimination status embarrassing, former chief medical officer says | CBC News The latest federal data shows Alberta accounts for 38 per cent of Canadaโ€™s cases.

โ€œA lot of people worked for a long time to achieve that measles elimination status, and to lose it in one year because of a failure of government action โ€ฆ for a disease thatโ€™s totally preventable, it just makes me sad."

-Dr. James Talbot, former CMOH for Alberta.

We also recognize Indigenous veterans whose contributions were too often overlooked, yet remain a vital part of our shared history.

To those who continue to serve our country today, we thank you for your dedication and sacrifice.

Lest we forget.

Today, on Remembrance Day we pause to remember the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who defended our freedoms around the world.

We honour the generations of Canadians who gave their lives in service, as well as those who returned carrying wounds both visible and invisible.

The suspension of obstetrical services in Cold Lake is unacceptable. Families in Cold Lake and across Alberta deserve access to safe, reliable care close to home, not months of uncertainty.

Danielle Smith and the UCP govt have failed to properly support rural health care. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli

Flu season is here! Protect yourself and those around you.

I got my flu shot to help keep my family and friends healthy. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes a big difference.

Vaccines are one of the most effective tools we have to prevent illness and protect the most vulnerable among us.

Today, on National Indigenous Veterans Day, we honour the strength, courage, and resilience of Mรฉtis, First Nations, and Inuit veterans who served Canada.

Their service and sacrifice have too often gone unrecognized, yet their contributions are woven into the fabric of our shared history.
