Smith has introduced sweeping changes to citizen led referendums in Alberta… Extending the signature collection time from 90 to 120 days… And dropping the number of signatures required to 10% of the number of cast votes in the last general election. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The #CorruptCare scandal deserves a full public inquiry. This isn’t one. Instead of an ethical, competent government, the Premier commissioned this report that will cost Albertans more than $625,000 and designed it to give herself cover from serious allegations. Read my full statement below ⤵️:

Shame on Jason Nixon and shame on Danielle Smith for trying to start another program on AISH. How dare you try to get us off of AISH. Some maybe able to work, but the majority of us can't work. You have failed us. Also you have no consideration for our AISH workers who are over worked.

The UCP funds education at the lowest rate in the country. They can change that, come to the table with more resources for school boards, and ensure that education support staff get paid fair wages to put food on the table. That's what Alberta needs, right now. 2/2

Very telling the UCP chose to “consult” about AISH changes only with service providers and organizations they control like the Premier’s Council on the Status of Persons with disabilities. It is a pattern. UCP failed to consult actual people with disabilities and AISH recipients. #ABpoli #aish
