Tonight shows that Alberta's NDP is building huge momentum here in Calgary, and across the province. We know better is possible. The historic result in Calgary-Shaw proves it. Thank you to Kyle and to every single person who put in the work to get us here. /1

“After years of UCP chaos and confusion, health workers are being asked to do more with less, and it’s time to change that,” said @drluannemetz.bsky.social "Albertans deserve confidence that health-care decisions are being made in their best interest, not for political insiders."

Danielle Smith and the UCP haven’t delivered a single triage physician in seven months. Another promise broken. Instead of fixing our overcrowded emergency rooms, Danielle Smith is focused on separatism and funneling more money into private health care.

Bill 11 takes effect, bringing Danielle Smith’s two-tier health care plan into reality. Albertans want better access and shorter wait times, not a system where those who can pay get to the front of the line. Alberta’s NDP will fight for public health care. www.albertandpcaucus.ca/news/post/uc...

Camping is one of the best parts of an Alberta summer. But when emergencies happen, people need to know help is close by. Rural emergency department closures are putting Albertans and our tourism industry at risk. It's time for the UCP to invest in reliable rural public health care.

Too many Alberta children are waiting too long for mental health assessments, therapy, and specialized care. The UCP should reverse its 2019 decision to cancel the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Centre and invest in the services Alberta kids and families need. Children can't afford to wait.

For months, the Premier changed the rules for the separatists. The court ruled their petition was unconstitutional, but the Premier still gave her separatist allies a referendum. But when it comes to coal mining on the Eastern Slopes, there are suddenly new rules. Now, it’s considered too late.
