The UCP said they would respect the findings of the independent Boundaries Commission ... until they didn't like the results. Now, they're ignoring the experts, who consulted with thousands of Albertans, to push through a map that would steal your vote and rig the election.

The Premier had no problem changing legislation to help out the separatists, but won't lift a finger to help Albertans with the cost-of-living crisis. The UCP government has the opportunity to give Albertans a break, but they'd rather help themselves.

If they wanted to, they would. The UCP could provide Albertans relief TODAY by dropping the provincial gas tax. But they won't. If only the UCP remembered who they work for.... #yycAcadia #ABleg #albertapoli #gastax

Today, the federal New Democratic Party selected its new leader. It is clear that the direction of the federal party under this new leader, someone who openly cheered for the defeat of the Alberta NDP government, is not in the interests of Alberta. /1

Budget Estimates 2026 was an opportunity for the Minister to reassure Albertans that children’s safety is a priority. Instead, we got deflection. So I’ll ask again: when will Minister Nicolaides put Alberta’s children first? #yycAcadia #communities #AbLeg #Budget2026

Under the UCP, parents in Alberta can be left in the dark when incidents of child abuse occur at child care centres. That is unacceptable. Parents deserve transparency so they can make informed decisions about their children’s safety.

Sixty children have died in the care of this government over the last year. We cannot ignore the needs of some of the most vulnerable people in our community, and the UCP must do everything in their power to ensure these kids have the support they need. youtube.com/shorts/L2Mmy...

Justice Wyant’s report on #CorruptCare states on Page 3 that “unlike a public inquiry, this investigation did not have power to subpoena or hear testimony under oath. As a result, people had the opportunity to decline to be interviewed. Some did.” We need a full public inquiry now. #AbLeg

Teachers are being told to make do with overcrowded classrooms and zero support while the UCP refuses to fund new schools or plan for growth. It's not neglect. It’s a conscious choice. And it’s failing Alberta’s kids. Let's talk about it. ⬇️ youtu.be/5Dcp3-RwoHA?...
