Kyle Kawsawski, a ton of hardy volunteers and myself were out talking to folks in Sherwood Park on a VERY windy afternoon. We’re proud Albertans AND proud Canadians! I’m voting no to the nine and yes to remain and the folks I spoke to in Sherwood Park are too! 🇨🇦💪🏻

Katy Merrifield, the Conservative campaign director, must be removed immediately. Lorne Doerkson’s failure to act is unacceptable. Silence is complicity. There is no room for Islamophobia in our politics, and there are no excuses for those who enable it. (2/2)

To Muslim communities across BC: you deserve respect, safety, and leaders who stand unequivocally against Islamophobia. You should never have to question whether your elected representatives will defend you against hate. (1/2)

Stelco is the perfect example of what happens when we treat good Canadians jobs and industrial capacity as disposable. This govt needed to act months ago to enforce the Investment Canada agreement. Now, we need emergency worker retention and wage supports. Now! @uswmetallos.bsky.social

Carney has a chance to show us there’s actually still a difference between his government and the one we’d have if Poilievre had won the election. Will he take it? Federal funding to help LGBTQ rights groups survive the attacks on their humanity is about to expire. He can do something about it:

Fantastic meeting with Tom Doran from ILWU Canada & our NDP labour critic, Don Davies. An important opportunity to work with labour leaders across Canada to fight the Liberal attacks on workers & their legal right to withhold their labour. Taking away the right to strike is a red line for the NDP.

Heather McPherson MP @heathermcpherson.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Foreign interference in Alberta's referendum is a serious matter impacting our sovereignty and should be debated in Canada's House of Commons. Why then is the Liberal Speaker not interested in this debate?

Heather McPherson MP @heathermcpherson.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Alberta separatists are running to Trump, offering our oil and water in exchange for American support to break up Canada. A traitor to this country doesn’t have to wear a foreign flag. Sometimes they wave ours while selling out our future. This is a national emergency. Alberta is not for sale.

Danielle Smith is using your tax dollars to sell her political agenda. This referendum booklet is propaganda. It blames newcomers for her government’s failures and pushes constitutional changes without telling Albertans the truth. You deserve better than this political garbage paid for by you.

“Carney is tilting the scales in the favour of employers.” Marty Warren, National Director of USW, is right. Carney talks about protecting workers while his gov’t undermines their bargaining power, weakens their right to strike, and puts corporate interests first. www.thespec.com/opinion/cont...

The Carney government is tilting the scales in the favour of employers

He is seeking more ways to intervene in strikes whenever the national economic interest is at stake.
