WATCH LIVE: Naheed Nenshi and Alberta’s New Democrats stand with Treaty Chiefs to speak about the historic motion of non-confidence in UCP government: youtube.com/live/oDFirPg...
Never has an Alberta government spent so much to give you so little.
A $9.4B deficit & the UCP still aren’t doing a thing to lower your costs. In fact, they’re charging you more.
You deserve better than being forced to pay for Danielle Smith’s pet projects.
Better is possible. #abpoli
UCP Immigration Minister Joseph Schow says there’s no connection between politicians, like the UCP, inflaming rhetoric about immigration and the increase in hate incidents against racialized Albertans.
Really.
I took a moment to respond.

Danielle Smith called for the feds to send more people to Alberta.
She invited people from across Canada to come & paid them $5000 each.
Now she wants to blame immigrants for her failure to plan, wild spending & attacks on public services.
But the only one to blame is Danielle Smith. #abpoli
My greeting at the show.
Gospel is good news music and we can all use some good news!
No better way to close out Black History Month than celebrating @nbccedmonton’s 40th Annual Gospel Showcase.
So much good music from so many amazing performers.
Thanks to everyone who came and all the workers and volunteers who made it possible! #abpoli
The UCP government has spent so much money to deliver so little for Albertans.
After seven years under the UCP, life is demonstrably harder for Albertans, and this budget does not help in any way.
Read my full statement here: www.albertandpcaucus.ca/news/post/uc...
Danielle Smith is doubling Alberta's debt with nothing to show for it.
Danielle Smith and the UCP have failed to invest in the things Albertans care about.
They've failed to invest in us.
We need a government that will.
Alberta's New Democrats are ready.

We need a government that supports Albertans - all Albertans - not one that will gamble with their safety for its own gain.
An Alberta New Democrat government will. #abpoli
Racialized Albertans are facing increased levels of hatred & discrimination.
They should be able to trust that their elected leaders are working to make that better, not worse.
Sadly, with Danielle Smith and the UCP, it’s increasingly clear they can’t.
That’s unacceptable. #abpoli
Hey Edmonton Teachers, take a break and grab a bite on us!
Looking forward to seeing you at the Citadel Theatre this Friday ▶️ www.albertandpcaucus.ca/events/event...
Pink Shirt Day began in 2007 when 2 young men convinced classmates to wear pink to support a classmate who was being bullied.
It’s about community standing up against hatred.
And at a time when we see the rise of voices of hatred, targeting vulnerable minorities, we must stand together. #abpoli
We lift each other up, we don't punch down.
That's who we are as Albertans.
It's been over one month since the UCP government promised to hire triage doctors, who were supposed to be in place on February 1st, but nothing has been done. They've been more focused on hiring fancy consultants and coming up with new buzz words, while dismantling public health care. #abhealth
There’s a lot of questions about the UCP’s new Alberta Sheriffs Police Service.
Over 2 years of planning & multiple pieces of legislation, Minister Ellis hasn’t talked to anyone - not municipalities or Sheriffs or Albertans.
I took a moment to lay out some of their questions & concerns. #abpoli
“Amery may have suggested that Alberta’s system doesn’t produce judges with the same political ties as the federal system. But the numbers don’t bear that out,
Among judges & justices of the peace appointed since Smith became premier…25.5% had given to the UCP…Tories [or] Wildrose.” #abpoli
"She’s courting separatists & anti-vaxxers to win the leadership race & won’t take a damn position."— Dr. Raj Sherman calls Danielle Smith “incompetent” on healthcare as she announces new funding.
He warns blaming immigrants for the crisis is "race baiting".

Recently I shared stories of the Black Albertans who laid the foundation we build on today.
At a time when we’re again seeing a rise of voices of hatred & discrimination, there’s a lot we can learn from how we fought them before.
We can do it again, together.

Alberta immigration trends and Danielle Smith's rhetoric: a visual timeline.
Had a great time on Friday talking about Black history in Alberta with students at Leduc Composite High School.
They had lots of great questions about the stories and my work as an MLA.
Thanks to Ms. Walker for the invitation! #abpoli
Another amazing celebration of Black History Month at the Legislature yesterday!
Thank you to Levar Saul for speaking and members of the Ubuntu choir from Burman U & Titilioe Sonuga for performing.
And a shout out to my colleague Sharif Haji for his powerful speech! #ableg
Enough is enough, Premier.
Albertans see right through these distractions.
Cut the bullshit. Call the election.
youtube.com/shorts/RnRaw...
Albertans did not give Danielle Smith and the UCP a mandate on 9 new referendum questions.
Or on separatism, or pulling out of the CPP, or breaching charter rights, or coal mining in the Eastern slopes, or bringing in two-tier health care.
Cut the bullshit. Call the election.
WATCH LIVE as Rakhi Pancholi, Deputy Leader of Alberta's New Democrats, responds to the Premier's address, calling on Smith to end these desperate distractions and call the election.
youtube.com/live/FY6y5v-...
Danielle Smith believes she’s giving us a masterclass in distraction, but this reeks of desperation and Albertans will see right through it.
globalnews.ca/news/1167526...
After six years in power, a fourth budget, and a third multi-billion-dollar deficit, Danielle Smith will blame everyone but herself.
Albertans deserve a Premier who takes responsibility, not one who tells us to make hard choices while refusing to own up to her own mistakes.

Wishing Ramadan Kareem to all Muslim Albertans during this sacred month.
It’s a key part of their work to fight crime & keep Albertans safe.
Thanks to Inspector Breitkreuz & his team for all their work! #abpoli
Thanks to Inspector Ryan Breitkreuz for inviting me for a tour of Alberta RCMP’s Real-Time Operations Centre!
The RTOC is an amazing space, packed with tools that allow the RCMP to track suspects, support their officers & collaborate with partners across the province. #abpoli
