The Keystone pipeline has had regulatory approval on the Canadian side since 2010. The regulatory uncertainty came from the US, not from Canada, on this line. Come on, Premier, even you know this.

Exciting day for Alberta oil and our economy. Southbow has successfully completed its open season for its 550,000 barrel per day ‘Prairie Connector’ pipeline to the United States. This means thousands of great jobs for Albertans and Canadians for pipeline construction and the new

💯 Separatists are *shocked* by my suggestion that Canada could revoke Canadian citizenship from Albertans following a unilateral declaration of independence (UDI.) They believe that Alberta would get to determine how Canada would respond to a UDI, and that Albertans would have a right to hold and transmit Canadian citizenship to the nth generation. But at the same time, they would not grant Alberta citizenship to the ~50% or Albertans born outside the province, i.e. people who are Albertans by choice, not chance. So half the Alberta population (myself included) would be ineligible for Alberta citizenship, but the separatists would get to keep their Canadian passport to travel and work in the rest of Canada visa-free. How crazy is that?

Albertans deserve to know exactly what some of the leading voices behind separation are advocating: mandatory military service, citizenship based on birthplace, and a vision of society that belongs in the past. At a time when Calgary is attracting talent, investment, and

Not that it really matters, but since there’s debate in the replies… The separatists and the pro-Canada/anti-UCP folks both had midday rallies recently. I was at both. The Fight Back one today was at least 10 times the size. #ableg #cdnpoli

We need to fight against the separatist agenda and the UCP that is dedicated to forcing it on Albertans.

Danielle Smith’s separatist referendum puts us all at risk, but we cannot let our fears and anxieties take hold. We will not stand by and let the extremists who run the Premier also run this province. We’re going to stand up and fight. For our home. For Alberta. For Canada.

All Albertans should be concerned about these changes and push back against this anti-democratic bill. You can access the full text of the bill here: assembly.ab.ca/assembly-busin… 4/4 #AbLeg

@MarkConnollyCBC Dreeshan claims ‘knowing that the right thing was done’ gives him confidence? They FIRED the ppl trying to investigate the problem! 🤦‍♀️

Raj Pannu was an elegant intelligent and kind person who exemplified a rarely seen political grace. He never wavered in his commitment to the Alberta NDP and the principles of social democracy. While ensuring concrete wins for vulnerable Albertans and building solidarity with working people he retained an authentic humility loved by so many. You can rest in peace Raj, knowing that you’ve left thousands in your wake who will do our part to Raj against the machine. ✊️🧡

I’m thrilled to join Southern Butler Price, an innovative law firm led by a brilliant team of women I deeply admire. SBP shares my passion for fairness, solving tough problems, and supporting positive change. I can’t wait to bring my experience to this exciting new chapter.

@CBCradiotara @CBCEdmonton Interesting interview this am with UCP minister misinformation. I urge you to interview @JanisIrwin who has been unpacking the real numbers revealing the true consequences of UCP attacks on vulnerable Albertans who are houseless.

Nearly 40,000 people have taken our survey on protecting pensions already. Let's get over that mark before 2023 ends! Have your say on retirement security here: albertasfuture.ca/event-registra… Let's get ready to fight for CPP in 2024!

Take a listen to @NagwanYYC (Alberta NDP Energy Shadow Minister). UCP plan to mine the Rockies is wrong and we have to fight back..

Albertans just received a giant lump of coal before Christmas from the UCP government. Alberta's two energy ministers announced today that they want to increase coal mining in Alberta. This announcement gives us no economic benefit and a lot of environmental risk, a lot of

A secret report shows no costs and no real analysis. This is how Danielle Smith runs her government. Welcome to the Danielle/Dreeshen disaster. #ReleaseTheReport calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

This was one heck of a parting gift… but I’m pretty sure taxpayers weren’t asked to sign the goodbye card 😏

I write with mixed feelings to announce that today I will be sending a letter to the Speaker of the Alberta Legislative Assembly, advising of my intent to resign my position as the MLA for Edmonton Strathcona, effective December 30, 2024. It was last January this year when I announced I would be stepping down as leader of Alberta’s NDP. I was excited and proud to see our membership swell to over 80,000 members as four worthy contestants sought their votes in June of this year. Naheed Nenshi’s selection represents a tremendous opportunity for all Albertans seeking practical solutions to the affordability crisis, along with a genuine commitment to fixing our healthcare so that all Albertans can get the support they need no matter where they live or how much they earn. It has been an indescribable honour to represent the people of my neighbourhood and community for almost 17 years. Edmonton Strathcona is a diverse constituency, defined by an unparalleled level of connection between its residents that plays out every day at festivals, independent small businesses of all types, theatres, schools, playgrounds, parks, trails, and community leagues. To all of my constituents, thank you for putting your trust in me over these many years, and thank you for your support, advice and engagement along the way. To the staff and volunteers who worked beside me to make life better for Albertans, your work contributed to doing just that, in so many ways. To my fellow caucus members, you’re a dedicated, caring and fun team. I’m going to miss you, but mostly I can’t wait for you to form government so you can get to work building a better future for all Albertans. Finally, to my family, thank you again for supporting it all. See you on the trails!

After almost 17 years in #ableg, today I watched as this legislature sunk to its lowest point ever. The UCP voted to breach the Charter and fundamental human rights of transgender young people and their families, to have equal access to healthcare. Alberta is the only province to act with this much callous cruelty. Trans Rights are human rights and the UCP cares nothing for either.

The votes have been counted and we have an Art From the Unknown People’s Choice winner! I’m pleased to introduce Karlie Marrazzo, a photographer and mini collage artist. She rescues Polaroid frames from imperfect photographs and, within the confines of the small frame, creates existential mini collages that contemplate human emotion and our place in the Universe.

John Horgan spent most of his adult life devoted to public service. His was a down to earth and reliable voice in support of BC’s working people - always focused on standing up for regular folks. It was these values and a likeable authenticity that earned him the top job in BC, making him the first NDP premier to be elected to two terms in office in BC. Of course we had a couple of disagreements, but John was always determined to do what he believed to be the very best for the people of British Columbia. He went on to lead his province through multiple unprecedented emergencies with a steady hand. BC has lost a very important person today. My thoughts go out to his family, his friends, and his colleagues.

This kind of flip flop reveals bad judgement at best: deciding to attack the very kids she once cried about, for her own political interest, reveals profound immorality.
