@ABDanielleSmith Deeply disappointed? in WHO, Danielle? Tariffs didn’t descend from the heavens. Donald Trump imposed them. You managed an entire statement about the damage without naming the man who lit the match. Say his name, you biscuit. This isn’t a natural disaster it’s a policy decision.
Without a robust and reliable right to strike, worker bargaining power will be eroded, and with it, the wages and living standards of all Canadian workers. If you take this unprecedented approach, we will have no choice but to mobilize an unprecedented response.
Forcing teachers back to school without addressing any of their concerns is the biggest abuse of democratic rights in Alberta’s history.
Alberta’s New Democrats stand with teachers and unequivocally condemn this attack on public education, on workers and their unions, and democracy itself.
The UCP needs to stop taking the cowardly route and negotiate a fair deal immediately.

The single most impactful thing we did in 11 years was this pass. I have cried hearing the stories of how it changed the lives of poorer people in our community. And it was cost effective! (for Calgary, 1/20 the price of the Turkish Tylenol, half of the cost of the pension plan advertising). Yet again, this government punches down on vulnerable people for no reason.
The UCP have decided that Albertans aren’t already struggling enough, so they’ve now just cut funding for the low-income transit pass.
Cruel. Callous.
And entirely calculated.
When is enough enough, Alberta?
