Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 04/05/2026For Alberta. For Canada. For all of us. 030
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 01/05/2026The UCP is rigging the election. They are rejecting the independent bipartisan commission, redrawing boundaries for political gain, and trying to steal your vote. Even Red Deer’s mayor is questioning the integrity of this process. Albertans deserve better. This is not democracy. 175
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 30/04/2026People want to remain Canadians. For Alberta. For Canada. For all of us. Step up, be part of the movement, and join us for a shift: volunteer.albertandp.ca/CELB/rsvp/7b... 120
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 27/04/2026People want to remain Canadians. For Alberta, For Canada. For all of us. 021
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Danielle Smith is going to draw her own election maps and boundary commission member Greg Clark has concerns about it. Don't let her steal your vote and rig our elections. 121
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 21/04/2026This UCP government hasn’t been listening to Albertans who stand against separatism and believe Alberta’s future is firmly within Canada. Step up and get involved - sign up for our day of action this Saturday: foralbertaforcanada.ca 031
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Spotted in Edmonton. The independent Electoral Boundaries Commission consulted thousands of Albertans and published a fair map. Danielle Smith threw it in the trash and plans to rig the next election. Don't let her get away with it. 072
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 02/04/2026In Calgary-Elbow, we love spreading Easter joy to our schools - with some treats and warm support, snow or shine. A heartfelt thank you to all administrators, teachers, and staff for the care and dedication you show young people every day. I truly appreciate all that you do. 010
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Wishing a warm and meaningful Happy Passover to all those observing from April 1–9.

Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 01/04/2026It was a beautiful day visiting our churches on our Lily Tour. Wishing everyone a joyful and peaceful early Easter weekend. Thank you to our churches and their staff for all that you do for the community! 010
Reposted by Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-ElbowNaheed Nenshi @naheednenshi.bsky.social · 27/03/2026When the UCP government creates chaos, Albertans are the ones left paying for it. It’s time to show Albertans, and the rest of the country, what our energy sector can look like under strong, steady, competent leadership. It’s time to build Alberta’s energy future. ⬇️youtu.beBuilding Alberta's Energy FutureYouTube video by Naheed Nenshi 610437
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Deeply saddened by the tragic plane crash at LaGuardia Airport this morning involving a flight from Montreal. My heart is with the families of the two Canadian pilots we lost, and I’m wishing strength and healing to everyone affected. 041
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Great visit to Native Tongues Taqueria in Britannia and good to see manager Aaron. Supporting local means supporting Canadian businesses and strong communities. @naheednenshi.bsky.social, my ABNDP colleagues, and I are proud Albertans and proud Canadians - always Team Alberta & Team Canada. 021
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Your provincial property tax is going up 20% to pay for $16,000 bottles of Turkish Tylenol. That's not right. 022
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Under Danielle Smith, Alberta’s health-care system is in crisis. American-style, two-tier care will only make ERs and hospitals worse - and leave you paying for care. Albertans deserve better. You deserve an affordable life and a public system that puts patients first. 031
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Great hosting a Budget Town Hall with @janeteremenko.bsky.social. Thank you to everyone who came out and shared their thoughts on the provincial budget. Albertans deserve better - you deserve an affordable life. 020

Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Premier Smith as had a year: Trips to Trump. A Corrupt Care scandal. And using the notwithstanding clause 4 times—including against teachers and vulnerable youth. Separatism. An affordability crisis. No minimum wage increase. Shame. Albertans are proud Canadians. We’re stronger together. 032
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Bill 9 is the UCP’s latest attempt to override your rights using the notwithstanding clause. That’s not democracy — it’s authoritarian power. The Charter and the Alberta Bill of Rights exist to protect us, not to be ignored by government. Read more: www.albertandpcaucus.ca/news/post/uc... 042
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Once again, Premier Smith is backtracking on her promise that no Albertan would pay out of pocket to see a family doctor. Instead, we’re seeing American-style healthcare creep into Alberta, leaving people behind while costs go up. 032
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 18/11/2025For the second time, the UCP has voted down Bill 201 — a bill that would have stopped restaurant owners from taking the tips their employees earned. Workers deserve to keep what’s theirs. Premier Smith, protect workers’ tips, not your pals. Contact your MLA today. This is not okay. 031
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 14/11/2025Albertans are paying more for less. Smith allowed uncontrolled increases in auto insurance premiums, which will go up anaother 15% or more in the next two years. Time for a public model like Saskatchewan’s. 031
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 14/11/2025Separatism puts Alberta’s capital and investment returns at real risk. At the Heritage Trust Fund meeting I asked the fund manager if they had evaluated the impact of separatism, similar to an analysis they did on Brexit. The answer? No. Why not? 042
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 07/11/2025This UCP government has failed Albertans.

Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 07/11/2025Leader @naheednenshi.bsky.social, my AB NDP colleagues, and I will continue to stand and march with teachers. As Albertans, we cannot take this lightly - these are our kids, our future. Using the notwithstanding clause to silence their voices is unconstitutional and unacceptable. 031

Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 04/11/2025I, leader @naheednenshi.bsky.social, and our Alberta New Democrat colleagues will always stand with teachers and fight for the quality education every child deserves. Teachers need real support and all Albertans want smaller class sizes. 074
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 26/10/2025Thank you to all my incredible volunteers for joining the Call for Action today with @naheednenshi.bsky.social and my colleagues from @sgsp-abndp.bsky.social. Your dedication and energy remind us that we are truly better together. 021
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Standing with our teachers today and every day. Alberta is Canada’s richest province - there’s no excuse for having the lowest student funding. Our classrooms deserve investment, not neglect. End this strike now, Danielle Smith. 031
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Together with @naheednenshi.bsky.social and my AB NDP colleagues, I stand with Alberta’s teachers today and every day. It’s time for Danielle Smith to end this strike. 021
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 22/10/2025It’s Hindu Heritage month, a chance to celebrate Hindus in Canada. Remember, it’s the accomplishments of Hindus in Canada that help make Canada great. 000
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 22/10/2025Proud to stand with teachers at the Public Education March. They’re not just fighting for fair wages - they’re fighting for every child’s right to a safe classroom, proper supports, and a better future. 021
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 21/10/2025Thank you Indian Society of Calgary for hosting such a wonderful Diwali Ustav! It was a joy celebrating with my AB NDP colleagues and the vibrant community - a true festival of light, togetherness, and culture. 020
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 21/10/2025Thank you Aveva for having me on your keynote panel! It’s difficult to build large projects right now, but Rachel Notely’s proved it could be done with the Transmountain Expansion. We need an Alberta government focused on building things to build our economy. 010
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 21/10/2025Please get your flu shot, and covid shot if you qualify or are able to afford it. Protecting yourself and those around you is what Albertans do. 073
Samir Kayande, MLA Calgary-Elbow @samirkayande.bsky.social · 21/10/2025Underfunding and lack of support mean it’s not just students with complex needs being left behind - it’s all kids. One person can only do so much. No one should face these conditions, especially teachers. Premier Smith, end the strike. Give our kids the education they deserve. 032
