Explain to me how someone with a living room of this size is concerned about affordability. Did they overhear complaints from their maid? #abpoli ##cdnpoli

Packed living rooms and Albertans who care deeply about where this province is headed.

These are my favourite conversations. Just people telling me what is actually going on in their lives. Affordability came up in every room.

So did health care and the kind of future people want for their kids. And reasonable immigration had near unanimous support wherever I went.

Thank you to Cindy, Gary and Olive for opening their homes.

I’ve written to Minister McGuinty’s office and Cc'd the Minister, my MP Dan Albas, and Defence Procurement Secretary Stephen Fuhr about this. No response yet. Not even an automated acknowledgement. Hope they will do a review on this investment deal though.

When answering referendum questions pertaining to immigration, please note that Healthcare for refugees is not paid by Alberta government. Therefore, the questions only apply to tax paying law obeying workers designed to cause division between new and old immigrants. #DanielleSmithlsUnfitToLead

Jivani is no dummy, but he's dangerous and no friend of Canada. He'd sell us out in a second for power and wealth. Is he serving as PP's attack dog at the behest of the U.S.? Hard to say. PP seems quite capable of doing that job himself, albeit slightly more veiled. Neither is good news for 🇨🇦.

Black text on a white page that reads as follows: 

Too often, homeless New Yorkers cycle from our hospitals to our streets — making it harder to continue treatment and find long-term stability. 

The City's Bridge to Home program in Manhattan ends the cycle by providing a safe place for New Yorkers to live while they receive medical care, apply to jobs, and find an apartment. The program has been a massive success.

Today, we’re expanding Bridge to Home to Brooklyn and Queens, so more New Yorkers get the help they need.

A bold political graphic on a bright yellow background shows a raised hand with the middle finger extended. Large black text reads, “POINT HER IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BY VOTING.” On the right, red and black text reads, “VOTE OPTION 1 TO REMAIN IN CANADA” and “NO TO THE NINE OTHER QUESTIONS.” The graphic uses the raised middle finger as a humorous visual reference to directing a political figure while encouraging voters to cast their ballots.
