First, and I can't believe I have to say this, we won't require any municipal councillors to register as lobbyists.
It is incomprehensible to us that the UCP think this is the way to treat local leaders. 🧵 2/ #ableg

Second, we will reverse the UCP's cuts and downloads that have hit Albertans' pocketbooks and municipal budgets.
As part of this, we will introduce the Partners in Prosperity Act, ensuring municipalities have stable funding that rises when provincial revenues rise. 🧵 3/ #ableg

Third, we will take on the rural healthcare crisis that the UCP have helped to create.

...emergency rooms because there are no family doctors accepting new patients, health centres and ERs closing, staffing shortages so severe that some rural hospitals may never reopen.
The @albertaNDP will launch the largest healthcare recruitment campaign ever seen. 🧵5/ #ableg

And in the coming weeks we will release a comprehensive plan to end the chaos and make sure Albertans have the healthcare they need. This plan includes ideas to support family doctors and medical professionals as they MOVE HERE to provide primary care and family medicine. 🧵 6/
Our plan will include new initiatives and targets for training health care professionals within the province, as well as working deliberately to remove the barriers keeping international grads from practicing here. We will also tackle the mental health crisis in rural AB. 🧵 7/
In addition to our healthcare plans, we will launch a strategy to bring broadband to every corner of this province. You can read about that here. 🧵 8/ #ableg albertasfuture.ca/albertas-futur…
We will grow opportunities in renewable energy, hydrogen development, geothermal energy, high-tech and innovation, value-added petrochemicals and agrifood development, which is full of so much potential for our producers. 🧵 9/ #ableg
The @albertaNDP is ready with plans to lift up every community in this province. You can check out some of those plans here. 🧵 10/ #ableg #abpoli albertasfuture.ca
