It's not just that @shandro made a series of grave errors of judgement; it's that his cuts and mismanagement have demoralized doctors and frontline workers at a time when they need all of our support.

For their sake, and Alberta's, we need a new Minister of Health. #ableg

As we grapple with a pandemic, we also face an economic crisis.

Alberta doesn't have to be an either/or province.

To build the economy of the future, we must support oil and gas, and support our tech sector at the same time. #ableg

If you’re hoping to have a baby in rural Alberta, it's becoming much more difficult. Facing ongoing attacks by the UCP, doctors are being forced to give up essential services like obstetrics. This is so wrong. @jkenney, do the right thing. Reverse these harmful changes. #ableg

[Janis Irwin @JanisIrwin]

The ousting of highly qualified women from the ATRF board, only to be replaced with a UCP donor: another example of how the UCP’s attack on Albertans’ pensions has far-reaching impacts.

A good article on why taxing the billionaire class is the least we can do. It's not about targeting wealth, it is about taking on excessive and extreme wealth hoarding.
Consider this, a million seconds is 11 days.
A billion seconds represents 31.5 years.

The tragic death of Kelly Fraser should be a wake up call.
Parliament must move forward on commitment to establish a national suicide prevention plan.
We lose too many people to hopelessness, bullying, trauma and lack of access to mental health support.

"We normalize the idea of what we think a politician should look like, and in reality a politician can look like anything. And so the only way that’s going to become normalized is if somebody like me starts calling it out.” -@MumilaaqQaqqaq https://t.co/gA9xvkgJk3 #ableg #cdnpoli

How many Alberta women are not yet 65 yrs old yet, but are married to men who are 65 or older? Guess what...you are losing your seniors blue cross coverage on April 1, 2020. Stock up on your medications! You'll be paying 100% if you don't have another plan.

Social workers are calling on Minister @rebeccakschulz to reverse her decision to cut critical supports for young people who grew up in foster care. Thank you to the Alberta College of Social Workers for speaking up for those you serve. #ableg

Alberta is the number one location in the world for viable renewable energy projects.
I have met energy workers who are running training programs to be ready for this clean energy.
The feds need to start making serious investments in this sector.

As Jason Kenney slashes through Alberta's social programs to give handouts to corporations he has the nation focused on whether 100 yellow vesters will succeed in breaking up the country.

Keep your eye on the puck my friends.

I am glad to see that the film industry is taking steps to express its views. Film is an important industry in Alberta, yet often forgotten. #ableg

The UCP's budget hurts so many Albertans, while giving away billions to the wealthiest. We're in this together, friends, and more than ever before, we need to speak out.

Giving Albertans with a severe disabilities an annual cost of living increase for 3 years costs as much as Kenney’s war room. I say toss the war room and increase AISH. 👍

I wrote this for Canada Day, this past July. But perhaps it deserves repeating today. My Canada includes Alberta https://t.co/KCDa1A5rwO

Yeah, right. Ask the Indigenous pple North of Ft. McMurray about the loss of their wild foods.

David Staples: Who does the heavy lifting on Indigenous reconciliation? Oil companies like Syncrude, for one
