Your NDP MLA for Edmonton-Meadows. Infrastructure Critic #FightingForYou

We are heartbroken to learn that a fifth person, Private William Douglas Dal Bianco, has lost his life following the devastating incident at CFB Wainwright.

Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, and loved ones, as well as to all those mourning the lives lost in this tragedy.

We continue to stand with the Canadian Armed Forces community and everyone impacted by this heartbreaking incident.

Our thoughts remain with those who are injured, and we are grateful to the medical professionals and first responders who continue to care for them.

All Albertans mourn alongside you.

Surprise, surprise… MLA Jason Stephan and his UCP pals all voted together.

The motion they voted down? To reject Alberta separation and affirm that we are proud Canadians.

The referendum is over, but separatists are still thriving within the UCP. Danielle Smith didn’t even bother to show up for the vote.

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

Join MLA Christina Gray and me tomorrow night at 7 PM for an Ask Us Anything on YouTube.

We know everyone has a lot on their minds following the referendum, the recent electoral boundaries developments, and what’s to come in the future.

Bring all your questions! We hope to see you there!

For immediate release:

"For months, the Alberta NDP Caucus has been warning against UCP attempts to violate the democratic rights of Albertans and bring in election maps only meant to deliver a win for the UCP in the next election no matter what voters want.

"Elections Alberta warned Danielle Smith months ago that they need 12 to 18 months to implement new maps under perfect conditions. Instead, the UCP repeatedly changed the law to help themselves, denied Elections Alberta the resources it requested, and put all Albertans through a wasteful and incredibly costly referendum. Now Elections Alberta says they just don’t have enough time to implement the UCP’s rigged map in time for the October 27 fixed election date — a date already extended by Danielle Smith to give herself six more months in power.

"Danielle Smith and the UCP should have implemented the independent commission’s report six months ago and they could still do it now. Albertans deserve to vote in free, fair and timely elections. The UCP should stop cheating and do the right thing."

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

Instead of focusing on things that could actually unite Albertans—like improving health care, education, and affordability—Danielle Smith has decided to double down on division and anger.

Thumping defeats in her separation referendum and in Calgary-Shaw should have been a wake-up call for the UCP, but instead, they are choosing to reignite culture wars on things like flags and DEI.

Albertans are smart. We can all see that the UCP is trying to distract from their failed record, and we're all fed up with it.

Thank you!
We saved Canada.
Now, we save Alberta.

Happy Thanksgiving, Alberta! 🍁

This Thanksgiving weekend, I have a mission for all of you. Make sure your friends and family have a plan to vote to save Canada.

If you have already voted, thank you! But we need you to make sure everyone you know has a plan to vote and knows where to vote in the advance polls.

Advance polls are open October 13–17, and referendum day is October 19.

Go to https://t.co/4GouQ4Y2dx to find out more.

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

Voters in Calgary-Shaw voted for a truly positive vision: for good jobs, for better public education, for better public health care, and for Alberta to remain an integral part of Canada. That’s what the Alberta NDP is offering, and that’s what is resonating with voters.

This horrific hate crime has left Alberta’s Sikh community deeply concerned about its safety.

Racism & hate have no place here.

Alberta was built by immigrants from around the world. We must reject politics that fuel division & protect the inclusive province we built together.

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

Hearts are broken across Alberta with the tragic news.

Thank you to all of you who put so much of yourselves into the search. The community response was incredible.

Thank you to all the first responders as well, including Search and Rescue, the Calgary Fire Department, and the incredible women and men of the Calgary Police Service. I am deeply grateful to you all and for this community.

I know that we will all surround Parker’s family and loved ones with our love and support and share in their indescribable grief.

Yet again Devin Dreeshen refuses to say where he stands on remaining in Canada.

Many other UCP MLAs and Ministers are also ducking the question. It’s clear that there are separatists in the UCP government.

Every Alberta NDP MLA signed a pledge saying they would fight to stay in Canada. Not one UCP MLA has done the same.

Danielle Smith put this national unity crisis question forward. She must come clean with Albertans, right now, about how many of her MLAs are separatists.

[Jasvir Deol @JasvirDeol_]

Yesterday, Albertans proudly celebrated Canada—a nation built on unity, not division.

While families raised the Canadian flag, Danielle Smith and the UCP continued to give oxygen to separatist voices for political gain.

We are proud Albertans. We are proud Canadians.

“Calgary’s mayor says having a vote on whether to initiate a referendum on Alberta separation is a “ridiculous lack of provincial leadership.”

[Court Ellingson @CourtEllingson]

First Nations voted no-confidence in the UCP Gov, with good reason.

We should not have a referendum on separation.

#Alberta NDP & I believe we have a duty to consult with #Indigenous communities.

We are all treaty people. We must respect treaty rights.

#abpoli #ableg #Canada

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

Danielle Smith’s separatist referendum puts us all at risk, but we cannot let our fears and anxieties take hold. We will not stand by and let the extremists who run the Premier also run this province.

We’re going to stand up and fight.
For our home.
For Alberta. For Canada.

And with your help, we WILL win.

We need strong leadership in times of crisis.

We deserve better leadership. We deserve better government. We deserve a better Alberta.

Alberta's New Democrats are ready.
