Danielle Smith claims that flying to Florida to pose with Ben Shapiro is “going into the lion’s den” to promote Alberta. The truth is, it’s a Republican safe space, a far-right fundraiser. Albertans shouldn’t be on the hook to pay for the Premier to pump up her ego. #ableg

Today I paid tribute to someone who was a friend & inspiration to many of us, Darren Markland. One of the best humans I’ve ever known. With the challenges our world faces today, we need more people like him. Perhaps the best tribute we can pay is to be more like him. #ableg

UCP are cutting funding for 23 women’s shelters, incl. 12 in rural areas. They’re happy to spend million to pander to separatists to try & cling to power, but women fleeing domestic violence are left with less access to help that could save their lives. That’s the UCP. #ableg

Today The Globe and Mail revealed that every disastrous decision made in wasting $70M+ on Turkish Tylenol was made directly by Danielle Smith & the Health Minister. Not AHS - the UCP. They chose the biggest gamble as part of a political stunt & Albertans were left with the bill. I asked Min. LaGrange what she’s going to do to get back the $49M Danielle Smith got stuck as store credit with MHCare. #ableg

We caught the UCP red-handed. We asked Public Safety & Emergency Services for any correspondence between Min. Ellis & the Edmonton Police Commission. They told us - twice - there was none. We asked the Commission & got 130 pages incl. 5 letters signed by Ellis. #ableg

The UCP’s new law says they’re the only provincial party that can call themselves “conservative.” I guess they have to legislate it, because they sure haven’t earned it. Alberta deserves better than a government of unprincipled populists cosplaying as conservatives. #ableg

It’s official. The UCP are going all in on rigging the next election. It’s unprecedented and unacceptable. MLAs should have no part in drawing the boundaries for the seats they run to represent. We’ll have more to say soon because Alberta, we need to fight back. #ableg

The UCP didn’t run on leaving Canada, but Danielle Smith’s rolled out the red carpet for a divisive vote on it. I’m proud to stand with my colleagues & say I’m a proud Albertan & proud Canadian who rejects separatism. Are UCP MLAs able & willing to do the same? #ableg

.Jared Wesley says the UCP’s Bill 54 is “the most comprehensive set of anti-democratic reforms in Alberta history.” I took a moment to break down just how bad this bill is and how it’s designed to bring some of the worst of American elections to Alberta. #ableg

The UCP have been claiming they were willing to enter mediation to reach a fair deal with teachers. But as I explain, the UCP’s reaction when a mediator recently ruled against them makes it pretty clear they can’t be trusted to keep any deal that doesn’t favour them. #ableg

Danielle Smith is willing to dish out millions & rewrite the law to help AB separatists. But she won’t lift a finger or spend a dime to do the things that matter to you. You deserve a government that listens to you & puts your interests first. That’s not the UCP. #ableg

When disaster strikes gov’t’s 1st priority should be protecting people. But a new report reveals that during the Jasper wildfire, Danielle Smith & the UCP put politics 1st, interfering & making it harder for frontline workers to do their jobs. Albertans deserve better. #ableg

UCP are happy to extend the contract for a private surgical company connected to the CorruptCare scandal… …but not for the Auditor-General investigating it. Because the most power-hungry Premier & gov’t in 🇨🇦 isn’t in it for Albertans - they’re in it for themselves. #ableg

Remember Danielle Smith's $29M border patrol to combat drug smuggling & illegal border crossing? Since Jan., they've only made 7 such arrests. Imagine what $29M could do to support teachers & students. Or address social disorder in our communities. Better is possible #ableg
