The Calgary-Klein crew had a blast today on the doors for our day of action! We were thrilled to be joined by Deputy Leader and friend Rakhi Pancholi to remind folks that #betterispossible!

Your voices are with me as we go back to the Legislature on Monday! #abpoli

The UCP is incapable of being the ethical, competent government Albertans deserve.
YouTube video by Naheed Nenshi The UCP is incapable of being the ethical, competent government Albertans deserve.

Danielle Smith wants to blame everyone but herself.

She’s the Premier, and she must take responsibility for these allegations of corruption.

This piece illustrates how extreme Danielle Smith and the UCP have become.

Citizenship markers are not only divisive but an attempt to legitimize discrimination in already polarized times.

I love seeing folks on both ends of the political spectrum speaking up.

It didn't have to be this way. The UCP needs to get back to the table with the respect our teachers and students deserve. #abed #abpoli #ableg #betterispossible

Last night we held our AGM for the Calgary-Klein NDP Constituency Association. We’re excited to welcome a new board and get back out in our amazing community knocking doors, making calls, and building momentum.

Better starts now!

Alberta’s New Democrats have also been hosting large town halls this summer.

We never cut off the microphone, and we welcomed everyone because we genuinely want to hear from citizens.

That’s what governments do.

Albertans deserve better.

Danielle Smith must make things right with the young student, starting with an apology of her own, and she needs to fire her second most senior official for his reprehensible conduct and relieve tax payers of his cushy $825K contract. /3

Last night, Bruce McAllister, the voice of this government, suggested a young student be beaten after daring to ask about education funding and the teachers strike. /1

There is no bottom to the shameful behaviour of the UCP. An insincere apology from McAllister after weeks of callousness and disrespect for Albertans is insufficient.

Evan, you show more care for your teachers in that moment than the UCP will ever be capable of. We deserve better, folks.

I had the opportunity to stop by the University of Calgary's NDP Club's table!

It was great connecting with students and chatting about the importance of getting involved on campus, building community, and finding like-minded New Democrats. Exciting to see so much energy and engagement from folks!

It’s always a great time at Highland Park’s Music in the Park!

The energy was amazing, and it was such a joy to listen to all the incredible local talent. We had a blast connecting with neighbours, enjoying the music, and celebrating our the vibrancy of Highland Park!

Alberta’s β€˜Citizenship Marker’ Plan Another policy solution in search of a problem

My thoughts on Alberta's push to add citizenship markers to driver's licenses.

It's not about election integrity or convenience.

It's about a culture war and discriminating against immigrants.

Albertans are struggling with the high cost of living and need good-paying jobs β€” not more red tape and political distractions. This UCP government should be focused on solutions that make life better, not creating bureaucracy with little benefit.

The UCP government is leaving Albertans with more questions than answers with this latest move to include citizenship markers on provincial IDs.

Had a fantastic time visiting the Calgary Zoo with my colleagues!

We learned so much about their incredible conservation efforts and the exciting projects they’re working on.

Huge thanks to the amazing staff for the warm welcome and for showing us around one of Calgary’s most iconic destinations!

It was a full house for our Better Together Townhall in Calgary!

The room was full, the conversations were meaningful, and the energy was inspiring.

It's the first week of school for our school community! Welcome back!

This year, families face uncertainty. Students are again crowded into classrooms and teachers and support staff are under tremendous pressure. A teacher's strike could be announced in the coming days. 1/2

Was out with my friends - Calgary-Bow NDP! It's always an honour and a privilege to talk to Albertans face to face. They deserve better than rage-baiting separation talk. They deserve a government that takes action on affordability, healthcare and education. #abpoli #betterispossible
