Nothing says “fighting for Canada” like sharing the stage with some separatists and a convicted criminal.

Alberta stands alone with the lowest min-wage in #Canada. AB is the only province that hasn't raised min-wage in the past 8 years. In 2018, the Alberta NDP government increased the min-wage. The UCP has refused to keep pace You deserve better: albertandp.ca/savemoney #abpoli

We are very pleased that the southern route pipeline that we’ve been advocating for many months, over Danielle Smith’s objections, is moving forward.

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.

Danielle Smith’s referendum is an evil plot to keep the separatist fire burning. On referendum day: Vote Option 1 on Question 10. Vote NO on Questions 1–9. It’s the only way to save Canada.  To find referendum information and get involved with the campaign, visit savecanada.albertandp.ca.

Danielle Smith and the UCP didn’t bother consulting Albertans before rolling out the red carpet for foreign billionaires to build massive AI data centres. Now, Albertans are raising serious concerns. And the UCP still doesn’t have a plan to address them. 🤯 /1

Restrictive covenants are bad for all of us. They prevent competition, stifle business growth and keep grocery prices high. Part of the Alberta NDP’s Affordability Agenda is to get rid of restrictive covenants.

Danielle Smith wants to impose a $1,900 health care tax on small businesses for every temporary worker. It's an out of touch policy amid an affordability crisis and a trade war, plus employees and businesses already pay taxes. Albertans can’t afford Danielle Smith and the UCP.

I stopped by Calgary-Klein MLA Lizette Tejada’s referendum town hall. With about 70 people in attendance, the crowd was heavily pro-Canada and raised a lot of concerns about the lack of clarity in the government’s 10 questions and the confusing voting process, and what happens after October 19.
