When I think of “immigrant entrepreneurs (who) are the backbone of the small-business economy”, I think of Fevzi’s Luxury Barber Shop in Lethbridge. Such a great addition to our community with skilled barbers, excellent service, and a great way with kids.

Thank you! I’m in Ireland and just confirmed that my ballot has been cast. 👍

I appreciate this communication, especially since I believe it’s well past time that the Church speak up about the experiences of vulnerable Albertans under this UCP government.

“It is about remembering that behind every AISH file, every ADAP transition, every government announcement and every policy decision is a human being. These are our neighbours, friends, siblings, children, parents and members of our community.”

So encouraged by these Lethbridge residents sending a strong pro-Canada message to their separatist neighbour. 🇨🇦 #ForeverCanadian

We did the same! Thought it was interesting, though, that the label showing the price said Washington and not USA. Someone hoping Canadian consumers are more sympathetic to Blue states … or is that too cynical?🤨

My MLA, Nathan Neudorf, is also the Minister of Assisted Living and Community Supports. I called his office 3 weeks ago to register my concern for AISH recipients, and asked that he return my call. Silence! We need a gov that understands its responsibility to serve all Albertans.

To sum up … the UCP government will be directing local law enforcement to leave that racist banner where it is.

I cringe every time DS refers to the Alberta gov and ministers serving Albertans as “MY ministers” and “MY government”. This lady has no concept of servant leadership. The government serves Albertans, not her. Indigenous perspectives should be sought, not ignored. #ableg

Wouldn’t be the first slap in the face for Albertans, and probably won’t be the last. Feels as though we’re still reeling from the last one when the next slap hits. #ableg

I like metaphors. So here’s an extended one about how Danielle Smith and the UCP are attacking & undermining our public healthcare system, pushing it to the point of collapse. The damage is deep, but it can be stopped. An Alberta NDP government will build our healthcare system back. #abpoli

Danielle Smith's UCP, once again, punching down on a defenseless population, AISH recipients: ✅steal $200/mo in fed funding ✅raise rent in community housing by $220/mo ✅$200 cut/mo when kicked off off AISH to ADAP ✅allowed earning exemption cut from $1000 down to $350/mo #abpoli #ableg #firetheucp

“Hearing different perspectives” … I doubt if any of these attendees were talking about their experiences of long waits in the ED of a public hospital, their children’s crowded classrooms, or concern for their treaty rights with the threat of secession. #ableg

I’m no expert in healthcare, but it seems the Alberta government may have stopped listening to frontline healthcare experts in favour of corporate lobbyists — whose job is to maximize profits for their shareholders. #FightBackKnow May 29 #Alberta

Time and again she demonstrates an inability to remove her blinkers. The PM commented yesterday that DS doesn’t always heed his advice. Not sure she listens to anyone except those who hold her fate in her hands.

In today’s presser, DS only committed to speaking up for Canada at town halls over the summer. Surely a provincial government that values Canadian unity should embark on an organized campaign that targets all Albertans … and include TV/newspaper ads, a pro-federalism website, rallies, etc.

Yes! I so wanted someone to point out that those 300,000 signatures on the separatist petition were not verified.

Ann Muldoon @annmuldoon.bsky.social · 22/05/2026
Despite what she’s saying in this press conference about how she can’t ignore the frustration of Albertans, I’d say that DS is pretty comfortable ignoring the frustration of AISH recipients, teachers, healthcare workers, advocates for trans youth, environmentalists, judges … and on and on. #ableg

Oh the irony of Danielle Smith’s appeal to committed Canadians to not sow division by demonizing their separatist neighbours! Separatists will be fine with her repeated advocacy for their cause. I worry more about the immigrants and trans youth demonized by this government. #ableg

Not every community has the option for green burial, but Lethbridge does, so I’m choosing that option … No embalming, 100% biodegradable casket, no individual headstone, and the burial grounds are kept as natural prairie with indigenous prairie grasses.

Ireland boycotted the Eurovision this year in protest at Israel’s inclusion, stating that participation was unconscionable given the loss of life in Gaza. I hope Canada would take a similar stance.

This security breach is part of a nefarious scheme to further the separatist cause. As such, those of us whose personal information has been compromised deserve to know if our names were added to the petition without our knowledge. The gov and EA owes us that much and more.

It’s concerning that this gov is going back to the old “medical” model that blamed kids for having perceived “deficits”, rather than ensuring the environment in which all Ss learn is free from barriers to participation & learning. Of course that takes well resourced classrooms & smaller class sizes.

Ann Muldoon @annmuldoon.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
Yes! And now students with disabilities are losing their right to inclusion in the regular classroom, and AISH recipients are being denied the right to an adequate living allowance.

The Alberta Advantage is slipping. According to Statistics Canada, Albertans are the least satisfied in the whole country. What is our provincial government doing to deal with the real concerns of Albertans?
053
Ann Muldoon @annmuldoon.bsky.social · 19/04/2026
Individual students are not the problem, and AB schools have worked hard to move away from this deficit thinking since “Setting the Direction (2008). Our premier chooses to ignore this progress because real inclusion requires adequate funding to remove barriers to participation and learning for all.

Ann Muldoon @annmuldoon.bsky.social · 18/04/2026
In an under resourced education system, it’s easier to blame problems on “deficits” within individual students rather than fixing real deficits within the system.

The AB Education Act requires boards to provide “welcoming, caring, respectful, safe & inclusive learning environments that respect diversity, equity & human rights & foster a sense of belonging”. The removal of Pride flags will make school feel less safe for many students.

Boasting about killing people who lied to the US right after, as she claimed, coming from Holy Week prayer with the president and First Lady to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus. Totally oblivious to the disconnect!

I received this text from UCP today and had a few questions of my own. Eagerly awaiting response!
Text from UCP listing their budget promises for educationQuestions about diversion of public funds to private/charter schools and about class sizesQuestion about retention and addition of teachers given UCP disrespect for profession.

Danielle Smith has been jet-set with a Saudi Prince while claiming that supporting vulnerable Albertans is "overly generous."
