Yesterday marks the start of Black History Month. During this month, we reflect on and honour the history, achievements, and significant contributions of Black Canadians to Alberta and Canada. As Premier, I was proud to proclaim February as Black History Month in Alberta in 2017.

Black Albertans have played a crucial role in shaping our province, establishing a lasting legacy of being trailblazers and change-makers. For example, Virnetta Nelson Anderson became the first Black city councillor in Calgary.

We also reflect on the continued struggles of Black Canadians against anti-Black racism and commit to standing up against all forms of anti-Black discrimination.

Whether it is increasing hate crimes or racism in the healthcare system, we commit to working each and every day to build a better future for Black - and for all - Albertans.

You deserve a government that provides hope, stability and common sense.

And, yes — as a result of all that — you deserve a Premier that provides trusted leadership.

Two weeks to go! Let’s get out there and build a better future!!!

[Michael Smith @justmichaelyyc]

There's so much momentum behind us. Candidates like @joanyycwest, @FlukerShaun, @lizettendp, and @AJYSyyc are knocking on thousands of doors. Help us to build a better future - please follow and share these candidates!

Rachel Notley has held the leadership position of the Alberta NDP, since October 2014.

She received 70 per cent of the 3,589 votes cast in the first ballot, easily defeating her competitors for the leadership of the party.

In 2014, Notley said “Let's leave the parties of the past behind," she continued. "This time, let's not forget history. Let's not repeat history. Let's make history." 

Those words continue to be important in 2023. Albertans now need to remember how healthcare, education, and many social services suffered through the pandemic, as a result of UCP cuts. Albertans also need to remember how the UCP secretly stopped indexing income taxes, as a way to collect money, without admitting any taxation.

Now, under Danielle Smith, Alberta has a leader who has vocalized her objections to pandemic restrictions that were imposed as an attempt to prevent further deaths and infection from the virus.

Instead of having a leader that respects laws created by her own party, Alberta has a Premier that has vocalized an interest in dismissing charges of pastors and individuals who were charged with breaking pandemic laws and who openly supported individuals that lead the truck convoys.

In the nine years that Rachel Notley has led the Alberta NDP, she has consistently supported public healthcare and public education. Unlike, Danielle Smith, Rachel Notley has never proposed private healthcare. Notley’s campaign ideas have been consistent and unlike Smith, she hasn’t had to throw out her original ideas nor has she had to threaten to sue media outlets nor people that exposed her.

It’s time for Albertans to recognize that the best leader to win the 2023 provincial election is Rachel Notley.

[Rhiannon Hoyle @RhiHoyleYEG]

Danielle Smith wants Albertans to pay for their health care. She wants Albertans to pay out of pocket for visits to their family doctors.

This is not a smear. This is not spin. This is a simple statement of fact.

[Rachel Notley @RachelNotley]

You will never catch me musing about schemes to make you pay for the healthcare you need.

Why?

Because I believe in PUBLIC healthcare.

[Rachel Notley @RachelNotley]

We will make competent decisions.

We will create good-paying jobs and build a better economic future.

An Alberta NDP Government will put an immediate end to Danielle Smith's $20-billion giveaway to people who refuse to clean up their mess.

RStar will be a thing of the past.

[Nagwan Al-Guneid @NagwanYYC]

I spent yesterday afternoon with @KathleenGanley at the doors. It was reassuring to hear how many people want a Premier that is reliable, trustworthy and has their back. They are done with the chaos of our province - Alberta is ready for @RachelNotley to build #ABetterAlberta.

[Irfan Sabir @MLAIrfanSabir]

“Albertans deserve access to healthcare at every stage of their lives. Last year at this time we had seven OBGYNs practising in Lethbridge, and now we have one.”

[Rhiannon Hoyle @RhiHoyleYEG]

It was a beautiful day for doorknocking in Edmonton-South! Our team was blown away by the immense support at the doors.

Residents are telling us that a government led by @RachelNotley can't come fast enough! 🧡 💪🏾

[David Shepherd @DShepYEG]

The part that really gets me here is Smith’s suggestion that care providers have no incentive to provide quality care unless you’re personally paying them.

What an insult to all the frontline healthcare workers who step up every day to provide the best care they can. #ableg

[Rosman Valencia @RosmanYYC]

This is magnificent, #CalgaryEast!

The son of a labourer is with incredible people of LIUNA - the Laborers' International Union of North America. Thank you for joining us today.

#abbeydale is definitely ready for change. 1/2

[Irfan Sabir @MLAIrfanSabir]

This is a must-read to understand why Danielle Smith’s conversation with Artur Pawlowski is wholly inappropriate and why there must be a broader investigation into her interference in the justice system.

@cityofcalgary has invested boldly in the future of our downtown to generate a positive social, economic & cultural ripple effect that will extend far beyond our downtown core & benefit Albertans far & wide. This announcement gives me hope that our vision for a vibrant Calgary can be achieved!

[Shannon Phillips 🇨🇦 @SPhillipsAB]

Lethbridge *showed up* for Orange Saturday! After gathering at the Galt Museum, we canvassed all over the city!

Thanks to everyone who showed up today and signed up for more.

Thanks to #yql for all you are and all you do.

Our ⁦@albertaNDP⁩ team is stronger than ever!

[Jeremy Nolais @NolaisJeremy]

This is what accountability looks like.

@MLAIrfanSabir isn’t scared of legal threats from @ABDanielleSmith.

He continues to demand an independent investigation into her interference in the Justice system.
