Farmers are struggling and the UCP is choosing not to act.
Rising feed and water costs mean higher food prices for everyone.
Albertaβs farmers deserve better.

It's Food Day in Canada!
Today, we celebrate the wonderful Albertans who work hard to provide food for our province and beyond.
Support their work today by buying local, visiting a farmer's market or heading out to a local farm to see where the magic happens.

Today is Emancipation Day in Canada.
Itβs a day to reflect, to learn, and to acknowledge that the legacy of slavery still shapes our systems today.
Letβs commit to the ongoing work of equity, justice, and true liberation for all.

The Premier and Justice Minister are trying to twist an independent process to serve their own agenda and appease separatists in their base.
Albertans deserve a government with integrity.
Not one that bends the rules to protect itself.

The UCP continues to ignore the concerns of everyday Albertans.
How much more of our money will go toward political optics instead of real solutions?

As Albertans struggle to make ends meet, the UCP keeps wasting public dollars on their own mess.
This money should have gone to health care, schools, and making life more affordable, not UCP chaos.

Once again, the UCP is showing just how cruel they can be.
Instead of supporting Albertans who rely on AISH, they're creating fear and confusion with rushed deadlines and poor communication.
This isn't responsible governance, it's mean-spirited and unnecessary.
Albertans deserve better!

One leader shows up with hope and a plan to move Alberta forward, while the other demands apologies from communities recovering from disaster.
Albertans deserve leadership that listens, unites, and fights for real solutions. Not blame. Not division.

Danielle Smithβs UCP is failing Albertans on health care.
Wait times are growing, access is worse, and measles cases are rising.
This is what happens when public health care is neglected.
