To wrap up the day, I headed over to the Clareview LRT station to catch the Holiday Train 🎄🚆—and what a heart-warming way to end the evening. Seeing so many families bundled up, smiling, and soaking in the holiday magic was just so special. Clareview truly knows how to do the season right ✨❤️

Clareview Christmas spirit is truly something special! 🎅

Stopped by Belmont Sobeys for Can Man Dan’s Camp Out in support of the Edmonton Food Bank. He’s there until 1pm tomorrow — swing by, say hi, and donate if you can.

North vs South Side 👀🔥
Let’s show the city how big North Side hearts are.

Last night I checked out the Christmas Market at the Old Beverly Café — and what a magical holiday delight it was ✨🎄

If you’re looking to pick up your last few gifts, be sure to check it out today from 4–8 PM. So grateful for events like this that bring neighbours together.

World Diabetes Day 💙
30 years with #T1D.
78k shots. 89k finger pokes.
Still no complications.
Turns out it made me a fighter.

🎃 Had a blast volunteering w/ the Heather Sweet team at the Manning Monster Mash this afternoon! Between bouncy castles, balloon art, & mountains of treats — the energy was spooktacular! 👻 So many amazing costumes & smiles — this is what community looks like! 🧡

🔥 Proud to stand with Alberta’s teachers & students today. This fight is about more than wages — it’s about packed classrooms, growing challenges & a govt that won’t listen. 💪 When we fight, we win. And when we win, every student wins.

🎉 Edmonton gave the Liberal caucus a big welcome today! 💥

Spoke with Finance Minister Champagne—told him: Don’t Backtrack on Pharmacare. Canadians like me depend on it.

👉 Plus, check our new Hwy 2 billboards 👀🚗

Spent #LabourDay at the Edmonton & District Labour Council BBQ 🌭 I come from labour (IBEW 2228) & giving back to our community is what keeps me going. Great food, great people, & a reminder that when we stand together, we’re stronger ✊

✊ This #LabourDay, I’m proud to stand with the workers who built this country and keep it running

New Democrats will always fight for free collective bargaining, strong unions, and workers’ rights — because when workers are strong, our communities are strong too #CanLab #ABLabour #CDNPoli #ABPoli

🍋 Had such a fun time visiting lemonade stands across Northeast Edmonton today! 💛 Amazing to see our community come together to support the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation — and I definitely enjoyed some freshening lemonade along the way.

🍋 What a day for lemonade! I’m out visiting stands across the community in support of the Stollery Children’s Hospital 💛

First stop: Cy Becker, where Gray served up some fantastic lemonade! Excited to see more of these young changemakers making a difference, one cup at a time. 🙌

Back out on the line w/ Air Canada’s Flight Attendants. Workers have the right to strike.
Trying to legislate workers back to work is an attack on workers’ rights.
Nothing has changed with the Liberal govt — they don’t have the backs of Canadians. I stand w/ workers. ✊

✈️✊ Proud to stand in solidarity with Air Canada flight attendants on the picket line at Edmonton International Airport this morning.
Enough is enough — work without pay is criminal. No More Unpaid Work!

When we fight, we win! 💪🔥

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

Spending the day volunteering alongside my MLA Peggy Wright at the Beverly Towne Farmers’ Market; sunshine, community spirit, and so many amazing conversations.

There’s no better way to celebrate than with friends & neighbours. 🧡

It’s plus 27 with a heat warning in effect so I did the only sensible thing—hit up Queen Elizabeth Pool with Liam. Sunshine, water…it’s Summer Time, my favourite time of the year. ☀️💦

Just because it was a full workday doesn’t mean I’d miss a chance to help pull the vote in Ellerslie tonight! 🚊 Took the LRT all the way from Clareview to Mill Woods—end to end, and I gotta say, I love the transportation options we have here in #yeg . 🧡

Today on #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honour the strength, culture, and leadership of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.

True reconciliation means action—not just words. That means respecting Indigenous rights, upholding treaties, and delivering justice. Always.

Anti-scab legislation is now law — a HUGE win for workers! The NDP made this happen.

While Liberals force workers back on the job & Conservatives back billionaires, we fight for you.

No scabs. No sellouts. Just solidarity.

Joined CUPW and our posties today! These workers keep our communities running—and they deserve fair pay, respect, and safe conditions. I come from labour. I stand with workers, and I always will.
