The UCP managed to create a crisis in healthcare & education due to poor planning & decision-making.
Now they’ve added a $9.4 billion deficit to the budget, doubling Alberta’s provincial debt & pushing it over $100 billion.
#abpoli #ableg #alberta #economy #finance
The UCP squandered Alberta’s near-record resource wealth and still produced a $9.4 -billion deficit—a failure of basic financial management.
Somehow, under some of strongest economic conditions in a generation, life is going to cost you more.

Danielle Smith is doubling Alberta's debt with nothing to show for it.

The UCP government has spent so much money to deliver so little for Albertans.
After seven years under the UCP, life is demonstrably harder for Albertans, and this budget does not help in any way.

Hey Edmonton Teachers, take a break and grab a bite on us!
Looking forward to seeing you at the Citadel Theatre this Friday ▶️ www.albertandpcaucus.ca/events/event...
Today in the Legislature, I spoke about the crisis in our ERs and the lives being lost, including Prashant Sreekumar.
Doctors have been calling for a state of emergency, yet the UCP refused our emergency debate, saying there was “other House business.”
People are dying. This must be the priority.
All Albertans know that our healthcare system is in crisis. The Premier should prioritize addressing the backlogs in emergency rooms. Instead, she continues to make shockingly expensive mistakes.

It is clear that the UCP has no plan to fix our health care system. Instead, they have brought in aggressive American-style private health care bills, which will force Albertans to pay to get to the front of the line. #ableg #abpoli

They've been more focused on hiring fancy consultants and coming up with new buzz words, while dismantling public health care. #abhealth

Even though the health care system is in crisis, the UCP shut down the Legislature early because they didn't want to talk about people dying in Alberta's emergency rooms.
We need solutions, not a government that shuts down debate.
This response is unacceptable. This UCP government’s priorities are clearly not aligned with what Albertans need: safe, timely access to health care.

Once upon a time, Danielle Smith wanted to double Alberta's population.

WATCH LIVE as Rakhi Pancholi, Deputy Leader of Alberta's New Democrats, responds to the Premier's address, calling on Smith to end these desperate distractions and call the election.

After six years in power, a fourth budget, and a third multi-billion-dollar deficit, Danielle Smith will blame everyone but herself.
Albertans deserve a Premier who takes responsibility, not one who tells us to make hard choices while refusing to own up to her own mistakes.

This is a national tragedy and I am absolutely heartbroken. I join all Canadians in standing with the people of Tumbler Ridge. I send my condolences to the families and friends of those killed in this horrific event, and I am praying for a quick recovery for those injured. (1/2)

It was great to wrap up last week meeting with Caelen, a MacEwan University social work student on practicum in my colleague MLA Lorne Dach’s office. I first met her when I visited her Gr. 6 class. We had a thoughtful conversation about the issues impacting our community.

Danielle Smith’s threat to withhold funding for judicial appointments jeopardizes access to justice for Albertans. Politicizing our courts undermines fairness and delays the legal process. Full stop.

How many teachers, EAs, doctors, nurses, social workers, etc, etc, etc ... could the government have hired for $30 million dollars?

Today is Imamat Day, the day that Ismaili Muslims (like me!) mark the anniversary of His Highness Prince Rahim Aga Khan becoming the Imam.
Over the past year, His Highness has continued his work to uplift and improve the quality of life of millions around the world. /1
Albertans are proud Canadians.
Separatism doesn’t reduce cost of living.
Separatism doesn’t build hospital beds.
Separatism doesn’t hire teachers.
Separatism scares away investment, costs us jobs & puts us in a weak position.
Alberta New Democrats are firmly on Team Canada.
Happy Lunar New Year and Year of the Horse!
Chinese Calgarians have spent over 100 years building Calgary’s Chinatown into the vibrant community it is today.
Over the next few weeks, I hope you’ll visit Chinatown and take part in these fantastic celebrations!🧧

Albertans deserve to know that when they go to the hospital for urgent care, they can get it without delay.
That's why we're calling on the UCP to:
➡ Declare a state of emergency for Alberta’s emergency rooms.
➡ Reinstate a central command for coordination and decision-making. (1/2)
Alberta’s New Democrats are demanding that Premier Smith address Albertans directly and acknowledge the ongoing crisis of our health care system.
www.albertandpcaucus.ca/news/post/al...
We’re bringing Albertans together to have an honest discussion about two of the most urgent issues facing us today:
The growing threat of separatism and the worsening health care crisis.
Grab a seat, text a friend, and tune in at 7 PM on Tues, Feb 3.
