Nothing from the UCP to get Albertans a family doctor, nothing to address the specific calls from frontline paramedics to reduce wait times, and nothing to get children’s medication in the hands of Alberta parents. 🧵

#AbLeg #abhealth
The new round of chaos Danielle Smith is inflicting on health care will make the situation worse. Health care workers deserve leadership that will listen to them and support them.

#ableg #abhealth
Danielle Smith has absolutely no mandate to create the chaos, cost, and conflict that today’s announcement will generate.

#ableg #abhealth
The dismissal of the AHS board today is nothing more than bad political theatre or as Danielle Smith herself said when the Redford government did the exact same thing: it’s window dressing.

#ableg #abhealth
An Alberta NDP government will go straight to the heart of the problem.

#ableg #abhealth
We will bring real resources to the frontline and reverse the years of UCP cuts. We will work collaboratively and respectfully with healthcare professionals. We will launch the largest healthcare recruitment campaign in the history of our province.

#ableg #abhealth
We will end the chaos and bring stability to our hospitals, our ambulances, and to primary care.

We will ensure that you and your family can get the care you need when you need it, close to home.

Earlier this year I met Celina.

She’s a mother of two, she’s on a fixed income, and she has to travel to Edmonton to get specialized healthcare. 🧵

#ableg #yyc #yeg
Celina saw her electricity bill explode from $200 a month to $500 a month.

She told me she was being forced to choose between feeding her kids … getting to the healthcare she needs … and paying the electricity bill.

Gord and Mary Anne reached out to us from Okotoks.

Gord is a retired firefighter — and Mary Anne was one of 40,000 Albertans who the UCP kicked off the seniors’ drug plan.

That cost them $200 a month in new costs to get private coverage.

I want you to be able to put food on your table. 🧵

#ableg #yyc #yeg
I want you to be able to heat your home, fuel up your car and afford the insurance required to keep it on the road.

#ableg #yyc #yeg
I want your rent or mortgage to be reasonable.

I want to take a moment to speak directly to all of the young Albertans who are considering making the choice to leave our province.

🧵#ableg #yyc #yeg #cdnpoli #abpoli
I know things look bleak under the UCP. From cutting the youth minimum wage to raising the cost of your tuition, they have trampled on the opportunities this province once presented for you to build your future.

But I promise you change is coming. #ableg #yyc #yeg
The @albertaNDP will make it a core priority to undo the UCP government’s attacks on young people—and to build up our province so that young people want to move HERE instead of move away. #ableg #yyc #yeg

We have the largest oil and gas reserves in North America — and the fastest-growing market for wind and solar power in Canada.

There is so much opportunity to keep this going, and expand it further. 🧵

#ableg #yyc #yeg
We can use our expertise in drilling to convert abandoned oil and gas wells into geothermal wells, turning a blight on the landscape into a new asset.

#ableg #yyc #yeg
We can use our abundance of natural gas to come out ahead in the global race to produce hydrogen fuel — both blue AND green.

We depend on tradespeople to build everything from roads and hospitals to pipelines and refineries. Yet skilled trades training centres don’t get a penny of provincial funding, even as Alberta faces a skills shortage.

The @albertaNDP will change that. 🧵 #ableg
I have announced that we will scale up the number of Albertans who can seek meaningful employment in a trade by directly funding skilled trades training centres. #ableg
We’ll start with $3 million, but if demand is met, we’ll double our support. And if that demand is met, we’ll double it again. #ableg

Albertans are looking for a resilient jobs economy.
One of those Albertans came up to me just the other day. 🧵
#ableg #yyc
She was a young woman working in a coffee shop, over in Bankview, and she waved at me just as I was leaving.
And she said, “I just wanted to let you know that I’ll be voting for you.”

#ableg #yyc
And I said, “thank you … that’s very kind.”
And … she burst into tears.
So, we went outside and she told me how much the tuition for her university degree program had gone up — and now she’s getting hit with all these extra fees just to take her exams.
