Apparently disagreeing with someone politically in Canada now makes you “Maple MAGA” or a “MAGAt.” Apparently we’ve reached the point where supporting lower taxes, safer communities, government accountability or simply questioning the people in power gets replaced with a lazy label instead of an actual argument. Disagree with me all you want. Debate me. Bring facts. But if all you’ve got is insults and name-calling, don’t expect me to waste my time on you. My mute and block lists have been growing rapidly lately, and I’m perfectly fine with that. 😂

Packed living rooms and Albertans who care deeply about where this province is headed. These are my favourite conversations. Just people telling me what is actually going on in their lives. Affordability came up in every room. So did health care and the kind of future people want for their kids. And reasonable immigration had near unanimous support wherever I went. Thank you to Cindy, Gary and Olive for opening their homes.

Today, I recognize two members of our NDP caucus who will not be seeking re-election after their current terms: Heather Sweet and Nagwan Al-Guneid. Both have made lasting contributions not only to their constituents, but to Albertans across our province. Heather has served her community for three consecutive terms. As our Shadow Minister for Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Economic Development, she has been a strong and tireless advocate for rural Albertans. She has brought their voices and priorities to the Legislature and has always fought to make sure rural communities have a strong voice at the table. As our Shadow Minister for Energy and Minerals, Nagwan brought a wealth of knowledge and experience in the energy sector to our team. Her expertise has helped us develop a comprehensive plan to grow Alberta’s energy industry, create good jobs, and build a strong economic future for our province. Their contributions are deeply appreciated by our entire caucus and by the communities they serve. On behalf of Alberta’s NDP caucus, I want to thank Heather and Nagwan for their public service and their dedication to Albertans. I wish them both every success in their future endeavours, but until the next election they remain integral members of our team, as we fight for the real priorities of Albertans.
