If you are young albertan who is struggling to find a job, this is NOT YOUR FAULT.

If you are a young albertan who is paid the lowest wage in Canada, it is NOT YOUR FAULT.

The economic environment and the UCP policies are to be blamed.

Today, October 1st, Saskatchewan increased its minimum wage. This will officially make:

👉Young Albertans receive the LOWEST MINIMUM WAGE in Canada.

👉Young Albertans have the HIGHEST unemployment rate in Canada.

Next week, young Albertans will have no teachers & classrooms.

Toolkits aren’t teachers!

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Today and everyday we have the obligation to;

👉Remember a dark and painful past.
👉Honour survivors and their stories.
👉Continue the important work of reconciliation.
👉Build a more just and equitable future together.

This isn't just a policy failure, it's a failure of empathy and basic governance.

The UCP government needs to listen to the people it's meant to serve.

I stand with my constituents like Daryl & the entire community in demanding review & reform of ADAP.

40% of Albertan children are living in homes without enough to eat.
Albertan children are going to school hungry.

This is not acceptable

Alberta leads Canada in number of students showing up to school hungry: organization Alberta leads the country in the number of students showing up to school hungry, according to the Breakfast Club of Canada.

Alberta leads Canada in a shameful statistic: students going to school hungry.

40% of kids in our province are food-insecure. A 30% increase in one year.

This is a result of policy failure from the UCP government.

Albertans deserve better!

The UCP government strategy on the Corrupt Care scandal is and has been:

❗️No public inquiry.
❗️A delayed report.
❗️No promise of release.

What are they hiding from Albertans?

Across Canada, provinces are raising minimum wages this October to help workers.

In Alberta, the UCP refuses to act. Minimum wage has been frozen at $15 since 2018, the lowest in the country.

Families are struggling with rising rent and groceries while the government does nothing.

Unacceptable!

I think it should be part of the options on the table.

Wyman and Nous report, commissioned by government of Alberta

Albertans pay second highest auto insurance in Canada. On average, we approximately pay:

👉 $770 more than Manitobans
👉 $777 more than British Columbians
👉 $763 more than Saskatchewanians
👉 $510 more than Quebecers

Why? Those provinces are in common having public insurance system. Alberta doesn’t.

The Premier claims showing citizenship on driver's licenses helps AISH recipients.

Do you know what would help?

✋Stop clawing back the $200.
✋Stop the anxiety due to your policies.
✋Stop pushing them into a bad job market.
✋Treat them with the dignity.

That is what helps!

Under the UCP, Alberta now has:

➡️ The 2nd most expensive utilities ➡️ The 2nd highest auto insurance
➡️ The HIGHEST unemployment
➡️ The LOWEST minimum wage

They have a whole ministry tasked with making life affordable. But, does it feel more affordable for you & your family?

Building inclusive communities starts with housing.

Honoured to join a roundtable with Janis Irwin , Lorne Dach , the Intentional Community Consortium.

We discussed expanding affordable, accessible housing for Albertans with developmental disabilities.

Better is possible!

If we want strong communities, we need strong public education. It is non negotiable.

Alberta’s classrooms bursting at the seams and teacher burnout help no one.

Our children deserve the best, and so do their teachers.

Great to join Gursharan on My Radio 580AM this morning to discuss the upcoming legislative session & how excited our Caucus is to have @naheednenshi.bsky.social in house this fall.

We dug into the pressing issues like the looming teacher strike, rising unemployment,& affordability crisis.

I keep hearing from my constituents that;

🆙Grocery bills.
🆙Unemployment.
🆙Food bank use.
🆙Youth unemployment.
🆙Insurance.
🆙The general cost of living.

Everything is up, except the support for struggling Albertans.

We can do better & better is possible.

Had an amazing time at our BBQ with MLA Janis Irwin and the wonderful community at Al Ameen Mosque ☀️

It was great to share food, connect with neighbours with laughs and meaningful conversations.

Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make the day so special!

How can the UCP justify pushing severely disabled Albertans into a terrible job market?

Alberta's unemployment is the highest in 50 years.

Forcing AISH recipients to compete in such a job market is a recipe for increased homelessness & profound hardship.

We can do better.

Had a fantastic time at our annual BBQ at Al-Omari Mosque with MLAs Heather Sweet and Peggy Wright.

Great chats, connecting with neighbours and fun in the sun for the kids 🌭☀️😎

Huge thanks to the volunteers for your efforts and making the day so memorable!

The Alberta we know & believe in is one that:

👉 Protects the vulnerable.
👉 Supports those in need.
👉 Lifts each other up.

We know Albertans have the heart & the strength to build such caring society.

We just need the right compassionate leadership to get us there.

Alberta's unemployment is the second highest in Canada, at 8.4%, the highest in 50 yrs.

Just in July & August 31,000 jobs in Alberta GONE!

Youth unemployment is now 28% . Yes, that is 1 in 3 young Albertans is unemployed.

Premier, quit blaming everyone. This is your record.

Alberta is one of Canada's richest provinces.

It also has the country's lowest minimum wage.

This isn't a coincidence, but it's a policy choice by the UCP government.

Nearly 80,000 Albertans with disabilities rely on AISH.

Now, almost all will be forced to reapply, creating fear & stress. At a time of high unemployment, many are also being pushed to “find work.”

Albertans with disabilities deserve dignity, not anxiety.

I just finished reading a powerful blog by one of my constituents. It is about the state of Alberta's education.

▶️Large class sizes.
▶️Underfunding.
▶️Book bans.
▶️Burnout.

Our teachers give everything — but they’re being failed by this UCP government. They deserve better.

Smith calls the JBS slaughterhouse in Brooks an “immigrant success story.”

Last year, I spoke to a room of 400 people, most of whom work in the meat packaging.They won’t cal it a "success story"

Premier should consider talking to her constituents first.

Right on Naheed!

Our belief is in a united Canada where Alberta plays a pivotal role.

True leadership isn't about going it alone; it's about engaging with our partners to overcome shared challenges.

We are stronger together than we are apart.

The answer to Canada's challenges isn't separation.

Alberta doesn't need to leave Canada. Canada needs Alberta to lead. Leaving is a surrender to difficulty.

We can strengthen the confederation and ensure Alberta's voice shape a stronger, more resilient Canada for everyone.

Alberta schools start today under uncertainty; looming job action, book banning, growing class sizes & complexity.

Wishing all our teachers, education support workers & students a year where they are truly supported, valued, and celebrated.

Thank you for your hard work!
