I am saddened to hear about the passing of former Alberta NDP MLA, Alex McEachern.

Not only did Alex represent the residents of Edmonton-Kingsway for two terms, his dedication to the party and advocating for the well-being of all Albertans remained strong his entire life.

The storm passed, but the costs are skyrocketing.

The UCP has done nothing. No plan. No transparency. You deserve a government that takes action to bring costs down.

Alberta immigrant support groups seeing recent uptick in anger, rise of racist narratives | CBC News Alberta resident Shamaila Akram says she can handle the increase in racial slurs and derogatory comments being thrown at her, but she worries about her newcomer and immigrant clients.

Premier Smith is blaming immigrants for government failures.

The UCP launched "Alberta is Calling” yet, ignored services like housing, healthcare,& education

They’re dividing Albertans by blaming newcomers.

The problem is bad leadership, not newcomers.

Danielle Smith’s UCP government continues to fail Albertans.

From pushing separatism to anti-Canada tax grabs to a measles outbreak worse than the U.S., they continue to cause chaos and ignore the needs of the people they are supposed to serve.

You deserve better.

This report is another example of why Albertans continue to say no to coal mining in our Rocky Mountains.

Toxic selenium is contaminating rivers and pushing endangered fish to the brink.

β€˜System in crisis’: Edmonton EMS overtime up 81 per cent since 2021 Data highlights cycle of understaffing, stress and attrition among Alberta paramedics

β€œThis explosion of overtime in hours and costs is reflective of a system in crisis,” says Mike Parker, paramedic and president of the Health Sciences Association of Alberta.

This isn’t sustainable. It’s dangerous. Albertans deserve better.

β€œ[Danielle Smith] clearly isn’t listening to the average Albertan, although she is pretending to. How many more millions of dollars will she waste, chasing after appearances?”

We’re all wondering the same thing.

$1.28 billion in UCP waste.

The latest flip flop added $143 million in wasteful spending to the UCP's failed record.

The cost of this government keeps rising, and Albertans are paying the price.

Almost $150M. That’s how much Albertans are on the hook for because this UCP government keeps flip-flopping on their coal policy. And that’s just to settle one lawsuit!

Jasper wildfire anniversary: a time to focus and do better Engaging Albertans to build an economy for the future.

I encourage all Albertans to visit Jasper this summer, taking advantage of the Canada Strong pass, and to support local businesses and residents.

Our caucus has scheduled its next meeting in Jasper to contribute to the recovery efforts.

Alberta landowner files conflict-of-interest complaint against Danielle Smith appointee An Alberta landowner dealing with an orphan gas well on his property wants an investigation into an oil industry insider and advisor to Premier Danielle Smith.

The Premier's own hand-picked special advisor is at the heart of a conflict of interest complaint after multiple sole-sourced contracts.

Did we mention he also sits on the board of Alberta's Energy Regulator?

Albertans deserve better.

Jasper burned while the UCP played political games.

The wildfire review says that government interference disrupted emergency crews and slowed response times.

358 buildings lost. Over $1.2B in damage.

Danielle Smith must answer why she put politics over people’s lives.

Adriana LaGrange is missing.

It’s been 50 days since she addressed Alberta about measles.

In that time, Alberta has surpassed the entire U.S. in measles cases.

She’s responsible for public health. Her silence is a failure.

Albertan’s deserve a government that will take this crisis seriously.

It's been 1,000 days since Danielle Smith promised to fix healthcare in 90 days... how's that working out for you, Alberta?

‒⁠ ⁠Worsening wait times for surgeries and tests
‒⁠ A growing list of hundreds of thousands without a family
doctor
‒⁠ Overcrowded emergency rooms

What happened to 90 days?

This summer, I'm travelling across Alberta with our team.

We’ll be knocking doors, listening to communities, and talking about what it truly takes to build a strong future for our province and our country.

Albertans want leadership that builds bridges, not walls.

We know we’re #BetterTogether.

Nearly half of Albertans are $200 or less away from financial insolvency each month, more than any other province, amid ongoing economic uncertainty Nearly half of Albertans (47%, +2 pts) report they are $200 or less away from financial insolvency each month β€” more than those in any other province β€” according to the latest MNP Consumer Debt Index.

A new report from MNP says nearly half of Albertans are living on a $200 edge of financial ruin. Not something you would expect from such a great province.

A lot to answer for when it comes to paying the bills, Danielle.

EDITORIAL: Cameras not welcome at Okotoks town hall Media members covering town hall with Premier Danielle Smith told to check cameras and audio recorders at the door.

The Alberta Next panels are a waste of public money, and the UCP doesn't want media reporting on them.

They are afraid to talk with Albertans, afraid to be filmed, afraid to let people speak. No wonder more Albertans believe this government is failing.

Alberta has now reported more cases than the ENTIRE United States. This measles outbreak was preventable, but the UCP chose not to prevent it.

Danielle Smith is ignoring health experts and putting our lives at risk to fuel her separatist drama.

This crisis needs action now.

A government that is under $1 billion investigation in corruption can’t call itself β€œfiscally responsible”.

Just as a government that takes $200 from the disabled can't call itself β€œcompassionate”.
