Farmers are struggling and the UCP is choosing not to act.

Rising feed and water costs mean higher food prices for everyone.

Alberta’s 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.

It’s a day to reflect, to learn, and to acknowledge that the legacy of slavery still shapes our systems today.

Let’s 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.

Better is possible!

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?

Albertans are watching and they deserve better!

Better is possible.

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!

A big thank you to Don’ya’s Ukraine Kitchen for welcoming me into your space and inviting me to help make varenykys.

It was a joy to meet the incredible people behind the scenes and to see the care and tradition that goes into every bite.

What a special experience!

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.

Better is possible!

Alberta's producers are facing a crisis and this UCP government is failing to respond.

The UCP government has the tools it needs to support our industry. They are choosing to abandon our producers at this critical time.

Measles is spreading rapidly in Alberta, with over 1,300 confirmed cases, more than anywhere else in the country.

Despite the growing crisis, there's been silence from Minister LaGrange and Alberta’s top health officials for over 50 days.

Albertans deserve better!

Danielle Smith’s 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.

Albertans deserve better!

I had a great time at the Beef Producers' Stampede Reception.

It was a great chance for government and industry to connect during Stampede.

Big congrats to John and Laura of Plateau Cattle Company, on receiving the Alberta Environment Stewardship Award.

I’m having a great time at Stampede!

I’ve been connecting with ag stakeholders, talking about the future of the industry, and exploring how tech, trade, and leadership are shaping global agrifood.

I'm grateful for the conversations and community.
