@JustinDraperYEG Congrats Justin!

[Samwise @SamanthaMyhr]

As a physician involved at MAPS & someone who sat across from @AdrianaLaGrange with concrete proposals for the very items we apparently need a new task force on... I am beyond heartbroken for family doctors and Albertans today. Another opportunity missed. #abpoli #PrimaryCare

[Janis Irwin @JanisIrwin]

It’s time to build more affordable housing.

It’s time to curb massive increases to monthly rent.

It’s time to ensure that every Albertan has a roof over their head.

We should accept nothing less.

Because housing is a human right.

Want to reduce suicides? Reduce poverty.

Want to reduce crime? Reduce poverty.

Want to reduce addiction? Reduce poverty.

Want to reduce domestic abuse? Reduce poverty.

Want to reduce just about any unsolvable issue in society? Reduce poverty.

What happens when you give 50 homeless people $7,500 each? They spend it on rent, clothing and food (not alcohol, drugs and smokes), a stereotype-shattering B.C. study shows, by @Brie_Charlebois https://t.co/MSnIhUMuyb via @globeandmail @jiayingzhao

A #ThrowbackThursday post to the farewell party for @Caleb__Soren a couple of weeks ago.

Caleb was our rockstar caucus research & support staff on the Health & is headed to Victoria to pursue a master’s in public health.

Wishing him all the best in his studies! #ableg

#UCP waited until the week of the Canada Day long weekend to release data showing a record-breaking number of Albertans dying from unregulated drugs

They're hoping people don't see the coverage or read the commentary that keeps rolling in.

[Marliss Taylor @MarlissT]

I’m still getting my head around this. My team responded to 18 overdoses in 8 hours today. I’m so proud of them and grateful for their skill and caring. I’m also so angry that it has to be this way. And it’s only getting worse. We can’t 12 step our way out of this.

[Ben Perrin @profbenperrin]

This op/ed did not age well.

Like so many op/eds touting the "Alberta model" of treatment without harm reduction.

Today, it was revealed by the Alberta government's own data that deaths have skyrocketed under the "Alberta model", rising 46% comparing April 2022 to April 2023

[Ben Perrin @profbenperrin]

Today, #Alberta released months of withheld data on unregulated drug deaths - keeping it secret before and during provincial election

Tragically - but not surprisingly - dramatic increase in deaths

April 2023 deadliest month on record

Claims Alberta model "fixed" things a sham

[Neeja Bakshi @NeejaB]

Every Monday, it's the same narrative. The ER is overcrowded. The wards are overcrowded. We have no space.

[Rachel Notley @RachelNotley]

Vote for your doctor. Vote Alberta NDP. 🗳️✅

[Rachel Notley @RachelNotley]

Thank you to Doug Griffiths, former PC cabinet minister, for his endorsement.

If you have voted conservative in the past, I'm asking you to trust me with your vote in this election.

I will deliver sensible, stable, hopeful government.

[Dr James Makokis (nehiyô), MD, M.H.Sc, CCFP 🌈 @DrMakokis]

Got to speak with @RosieBarton @CBCNews today along with @Albertadoctors President on the state of health care, medicine, and physicians in Alberta. It is almost guaranteed that if the UCP is elected again, many doctors will exit the province #demoralized

#AbElection note, personal.

Every doc I personally know (lots but not all obviously) think the Smith UCP will destroy Albertan healthcare.

The most “corporate” docs I know tend to be cardiologists and CV surgeons

…they organized an NDP fundraiser.

I’ve had five young doctors in @madamepremier so far today and all five of them are voting for the @albertaNDP.

"This election comes down to two issues: competence and trust. @RachelNotley wins cleanly on both." - @nenshi

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

So I’ve never done this before. I take being purple very seriously (despite what Twitter trolls say). But this election is so important. This is about our future. So I’m sharing (in many many words) why I am proud to support @RachelNotley in this election. https://t.co/sTiKNteda0

[Alberta NDP @albertaNDP]

Albertans react to Danielle Smith. 👀

[Cam Heenan @camheenanNDP]

Meet Myles! We met while out door knocking and he was happy to share that for the first time in his 97 years, he is voting NDP.🍊 I am honoured that he has trusted me with his vote 🗳
