39 percent of Albertans say they would leave the province if it became an independent country. Another 19 percent say they would think seriously about it. The recklessness of our Premier for facilitating this referendum is truly breathtaking. #FightBackNow https://t.co/wkXPbLnlDN

It's time for the UCP to stop the dismantling of AISH and stop the transition to ADAP. We are less than one month away from this dangerous and unnecessary change that will harm Albertans when they most need support.

[David Shepherd @DShepYEG]

I like metaphors.

So here’s an extended one about how the UCP are attacking & undermining our public healthcare system, pushing it to the point of collapse.

The damage is deep, but it can be stopped.

An Alberta NDP government will build our healthcare system back. #ableg

Across every corner of this beautiful place we call home, I've been meeting with hardworking Albertans who are proud Canadians.

They're worried about the future of our province and, most importantly, they're ready to stand up and fight for Canada. 🇨🇦

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

Such an incredible turnout at the Alberta Federation of Labour rally in Calgary on Friday! One thing is clear, Albertans are ready to make their voices heard, loud and proud.

The fight is on, and this is just the beginning.

An important read from ITK President @natanobed on the life & legacy of GG Mary Simon, and a stinging rebuke to those who could not help themselves in criticizing her appointment. A critique void of knowledge of history - for indigenous peoples in Quebec, specifically. #cdnpoli

What we have here is what media observers in the States have dubbed “Murc’s Law,” whereby progressives are cast as the only actors with agency and conservatives are forced to do things and are otherwise passive recipients of events. This way, bad behaviour by conservatives is…🧵

[David Shepherd @DShepYEG]

UCP are cutting funding for 23 women’s shelters, incl. 12 in rural areas.

They’re happy to spend million to pander to separatists to try & cling to power, but women fleeing domestic violence are left with less access to help that could save their lives.

That’s the UCP. #ableg

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

I had the wonderful opportunity to speak at the Alberta Retired Teachers' Association members' retreat! It's always inspiring to meet people who have dedicated their lives to supporting other and talk about funding for public education and benefits for seniors.

[Joe Ceci @joececiyyc]

We need to stand up to separatist voices that try to divide our province and our country. Alberta and Canada are stronger when we choose unity, respect, and a shared future.🇨🇦🍁 #fafc

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

WOW!

Today Smith tried to perpetuate her spin on what duty to consult means and how it applies...

And Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew was having NONE of it!

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

No matter how Danielle Smith tries to spin this, she ALONE is responsible for the separatist referendum.

The buck stops with her.

Catriona Le May Doan is a record-breaking, two-time Olympic gold medalist, a world record holder, and one of the most decorated speed skaters in our country’s history.

She’s a proud Albertan and a proud Canadian.
And she’s standing up to fight for our home. 🇨🇦

[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.
