Advocates push back on Danielle Smith's comment that people are moving to Alberta for social programs | CBC News The premier said her government wants to ensure programs like Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped, or AISH, aren't "overly generous," and that she's heard people have moved to Alberta just to ...

The UCP have advanced a 9% cut to income threshold which determines eligibility for seniors programs. Alberta seniors continue to be targeted by this government - cruel!

Happy #InternationalWomensDay !!

No support or improvements to public healthcare or education…

Despite a $9.4B deficit & projected debt of $137B, the UCP has delivered little for Albertans.

After seven years under the UCP, life is harder for Albertans, and this budget does nothing to help. 

In fact, it makes life more expensive and doesn’t fix healthcare or education!

The UCP are continually raising costs for seniors on fixed income while simultaneously doing nothing to address the ever rising cost of living.

This is unacceptable. Every Albertan deserves reliable and properly resourced public healthcare.

Thank you to the many teachers that came to our luncheon during their convention. And thank you teachers for all you do to support students in trying times!!

It was great to connect with so many of you.

This impacts every Albertan and puts us all at risk. We deserve better from our provincial government!

Alberta’s New Democrats launch petition for health care state of emergency, demand Premier deliver an update to Albertans Engaging Albertans to build an economy for the future.

We’re calling on Smith and the UCP to address Albertans directly and to acknowledge the ongoing crisis in our healthcare system!

We need a government that will take action to address the serious issues in our ERs, which are putting all Albertans at risk!

It’s time for the Premier to stop putting us in danger and for every MLA to make their position clear.

I’ve signed the pledge to denounce separatism and stand proudly with Canadians. One of the easiest things I’ve ever done.

Alberta 100% needs to stay within Canada.

Honoured to attend the Faculty of Social Work - Edmonton campus’ inaugural Speakers series on the Future of the Social Work profession. Such a great event and turnout!

We are better together 💪🏼

Edmonton long-term care home battling prolonged mice infestation | CBC News The operator of one of the province's largest long-term care homes says it's working to address serious concerns about an infestation of mice and mice droppings.

“Ron Guetter, a spiritual care volunteer for more than two years, said he's seen mice and mouse traps in the unit rooms he visits. He said residents have shared their own sightings with him, but some have trouble advocating for themselves.”

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

In light of news of mice infesting a yeg continuing care home, we’re calling on the UCP to:

🟠 Immediately invest to ensure seniors in continuing care are in a safe, clean environment

🟠 Establish clearer, more transparent public reporting

🟠 Open more continuing care spaces

Massive Edmonton care home battling mice infestation, droppings EDMONTON - The operator of one of the province’s largest long-term care homes says it's working to address serious concerns about an infestation of mice and mice droppings.

www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/prairies_bc/...

Hundreds of Alberta seniors live in this continuing care home.

This infestation is a long-term, ongoing problem and has been raised to the gov’t multiple times. Seniors deserve safe, clean, and dignified living arrangements in long-term care centres!

This is an unacceptable standard for Albertans living in continuing care!!

We are calling for immediate investments to ensure seniors in continuing care are in a safe and clean environment, as they deserve!!

There’s still time to participate in tomorrow’s Day of Action!!! 👇🏼

Join us this weekend and make your voice heard!! We’re working for a better Alberta, together. 💪🏼

This UCP government is not working for Albertans!

Yes, a blatant attempt to distract from the serious damage the UCP have caused to our healthcare system - putting every single Albertan at risk.

We are so much better than the divisiveness being stoked by the UCP

Every Albertan is at risk due to the UCP’s relentless attacks and chronic neglect of our public healthcare system.

Vaccines are safe and effective. Get yours today!!

Anyone in Edmonton or Alberta could require emergency healthcare at any moment. But thanks to the endless UCP healthcare cuts and attacks, that care may not be there when you need it.
That is a crisis.

When doctors are calling on the government to intervene in an access to healthcare crisis the government MUST respond!

In the fall, MLA @sweetmla.bsky.social introduced Bill 204 to protect #healthcare whistleblowers. Now, MLA @shoffmanab.bsky.social will be introducing Motion 506 to create a healthcare workforce strategy.

Alberta's New Democrats are committed to supporting public healthcare, not #corruptcare.

Join our movement As a member, you will have the opportunity to select your local candidate for the next election, shape the future of our party and work for change with your neighbours.

We can build a better province for every Albertan!

We must fight to protect and improve our public healthcare system!!
