Those of you standing in long lines for municipal elections in Alberta today:

1) stay in line; your voice matters
2) the long lines are a direct consequence of the conspiracy-driven policy changes brought forward by the UCP government (and not your beleaguered election workers); be kind

Proud to join teachers for their morning walk Wednesday! ✊

We’re fighting for smaller classes, better supports, and stronger schools β€” because our kids deserve nothing less.

As a former teacher, I know we’ll always put students first. πŸ’ͺ

As a teacher for 20+ yrs, a mom & gramma, I know kids need strong public schools and the difference a teacher makes.

Instead of respect, this govt chose chaos, cuts & cruelty. Teachers rejected the deal.

ABs kids & teachers deserve better. I stand with you. ✊

πŸ’Š Instead of working w/ other provinces to lower drug costs for seniors, according to leaked documents the UCP is about to dump $400 million in extra costs on seniors already struggling to pay for food, housing, utilities, & insurance. Albertans deserve relief β€” not another bill.

It is clear we need a full public inquiry into the CorruptCare scandal. Anything less is an insult to every single Albertan who depends on our health care system.

🍎 Alberta’s teachers deserve a fair deal and real respect.

Our kids can’t keep learning in overcrowded classrooms with the lowest funding in Canada. Time to invest in students and support teachers. ✊

πŸ’” 185 Albertans killed by workplace violence since 2021.

UCP puts employers first β€” workers pay the price. We stand with CUPE for real protections. Workers like Deborah deserved better. ✊

Alberta’s teachers deserve respect & our kids deserve so much better. Instead, this government delivers crowded classrooms, chronic underfunding, and little support

It’s time to fight for the world-class public education system our students & families deserve.

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.

✊ Alberta’s workers keep this province running β€” but the UCP is pushing them to the breaking point.

It’s time to respect frontline workers with fair wages, safe conditions & real negotiations.
