I stopped by the advance polls in Calgary-Varsity yesterday afternoon and there were no lineups. The workers have told me it has been smooth. If you haven't voted yet, Friday and Saturday are great days to drop in. Vote to remain in Canada, and no to the rest.

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.

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...

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.

The rest of Canada is lining up behind a united response. Danielle Smith is not. She gives into Trump at every turn, at exactly the moment Albertans need someone to hold the line. Tough times demand strong leadership. It's time to come together and protect our families and our country. #TeamCanada

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.
