Last Season on "The Legislature" the Minister said you can take a "managed approach" to coal. 🙄 Sir, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it still smells an awful lot like pork chops in here. (1/2)

Danielle Smith is a weak leader for the province and within her own separatist party. A proud Canadian would never allow a separatist to remain in their party.

Clearly, the UCP does not support Canada. Danielle Smith is running a separatist party. How many other UCP MLAs are voting to rip our country apart? Smith must be clear with Albertans on this. We've already done just that. Every NDP MLA has signed a pledge to oppose separatism.

“This is a political earthquake,” NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi told Postmedia late Monday. “This was considered to be one of the safest Conservative seats in the province. We lost it by 40 points in 2019, and this shows that there is no safe conservative seat in Calgary.” bit.ly/4rae3UN

The UCP’s new driver’s licence procedure is a mess. One of my constituents recently moved to Alberta from another province. They have 90 days to get an Alberta licence, but won’t get their Alberta Health Care number until the third month. They may then be forced to pay twice to add it...

Alberta’s health care system is changing, and Albertans deserve to know what’s happening. Public addiction treatment beds are closing, health cards now expire, and private-pay surgeries begin Tuesday. These changes have real consequences for patients and families.

If this report is correct, Meta’s data centre could add up to $736 million a year to Alberta families’ power bills. Albertans shouldn’t be left footing the bill for Danielle Smith’s bad decisions. This is exactly why the Alberta NDP is consulting with Albertans before these projects move forward.

"Canada is only as strong as our weakest link." @naheednenshi.bsky.social With Canada-U.S. trade talks collapsed and Trump hitting $28B of Canadian goods with 50% tariffs, no province gets to sit this one out, Alberta included. When one of us breaks ranks, all of us negotiate from further back.

Danielle Smith is wasting your money and adding to health workforce burnout by allowing anyone to order diagnostic tests. Alberta's new system is NOT like anything else in the world. Follow up on unimportant test findings will fall to taxpayers and there will be fewer providers in the public system.

The biggest Alberta health story came quietly. While Canada's premiers met and discussed public health care, Danielle Smith's govt quietly reclassified preventive health testing as "non-insured" without consultation. Albertans deserve better than more privatization and more out of pocket costs.

This is the norm in EDMONTON EDs now. Our ability to provide emergency oncology care is atrocious. LaGrange and Smith know. Unfortunately, they only want to talk about more low acuity private pay surgery… cuz the Premier had a staff member get private care in Japan.
