Orange wave incoming 🧡 🌊
We're building incredible momentum, and attracting amazing candidates, because we're offering Albertans a good and honest government that we can all be proud of.
Albertans are clear what they expect from their government: affordability, good jobs and strong public services for everyone. The Alberta NDP will be that government.

Naheed Nenshi on Danielle Smith: "The Premier claims to be a proud Canadian, a fiercely proud Canadian, but she's put us in this position. She's created this referendum because the separatists got her in power, and now they're the ones threatening to take her out."
I feel so much hope in my province tonight.
We are far from out of the nightmare that is Danielle Smith and the UCP, but tonight I feel hopeful that we are getting closer to a time when this era in Alberta will be nothing more than a distant, faint memory that many of us will have no desire to look back on.
Instead, we can look forward to a future that is bright.
Albertans want change. Albertans recognize good people. Albertans are proud Canadians. And Albertans are not out to attack the most vulnerable people in our society.
Tonight showed me that a better Alberta is possible.
Calgary-Shaw is only the beginning.
It’s time to take back Alberta. 🧡

Canada is only as strong as our weakest link.
We need to stand shoulder to shoulder with all our fellow Canadians, to protect Canadian families, to protect Canadian jobs, and, most important, to protect Canadian sovereignty and to protect Canada.

Interesting difference in tone and language between Alberta and Federal conservative leaders on the U.S. decision to lay additional tariffs on Canada.

Congratulations to Matt and to everyone who took the oath and officially became a Canadian citizen today! 🇨🇦
Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire.
A billion dollars spent at $10,000 a day lasts 274 years.
A trillion dollars lasts 274,000 years.
Nobody earns that much. Nobody needs that much.
The existence of trillionaires isn't a success story. It's evidence of an economic system that concentrates unimaginable wealth in the hands of a few while billions of people struggle to get by.
We don't need trillionaires. We don't even need billionaires.

Nobody has to guess where Alberta’s New Democrats stand on separatism.
We're proud Canadians. Full stop.
The UCP? Albertans are still left guessing where many of their MLAs stand on separation, and that's unacceptable.

Albertans deserve to know exactly what some of the leading voices behind separation are advocating: mandatory military service, citizenship based on birthplace, and a vision of society that belongs in the past.
At a time when Calgary is attracting talent, investment, and opportunity from across Canada and around the world, the provincial referendum decision is giving oxygen to a movement that creates uncertainty, division, and risk.
Our city needs more homes, more jobs, more infrastructure, and stronger ties with the rest of Canada and the world. Instead, we're being dragged into a debate that threatens investment, undermines confidence, and distracts from the real challenges facing Albertans.
Calgary's future is as a growing, confident Canadian city. We must be focused on building that future, not legitimizing a movement that puts it at risk.

“Unjustifiable in a free and democratic society.” Quoting the Charter now? After using the notwithstanding clause to shut down the rights of teachers and trans youth and slamming federal judges? What a joke.
I am fiercely loyal to Alberta and Canada and will be voting for our province to remain in confederation
Kicking the can down the road only prolongs an emotional and important debate, and muzzling the voices of hundreds of thousands of Albertans who want to be heard is unjustifiable in a free and democratic society.
It’s time to have a vote, understand the will of Albertans, and move on.

The last thing Canadians are worried about is “Chinese Cars”
There are many Americans, and especially Michiganders, who care deeply about the U.S.-Canada relationship. Our lives, economies, and security are intertwined.
That's why I thought it was so important to travel to Toronto to meet with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney. In addition to reaffirming my commitment to that relationship, we discussed the importance of the Gordie Howe Bridge to both nations, and I raised my concerns about the threat of Chinese cars coming into North America.
The United States and Canada are in a tough moment right now. But our overlapping interests are bigger than any one president. As Michigan's Senator, I know that the bond between the American people and Canadian people is deep, and it will endure. Because we are stronger when we work together.
A separatist in Calgary got scared off by the singing of O Canada. Lots of loud voices against separatism!
Canada 🤝 Alberta 🇨🇦❤️

Naheed Nenshi on Danielle Smith: "The separatists are the ones who got her elected. We always knew that there would be a quid pro quo. We always knew that she owed them something and what they she owes them is a referendum question."
People are dying in Alberta waiting rooms. One in three kids are going to school hungry. Homelessness has doubled in many parts of the province. Teachers, nurses, and doctors are leaving Alberta in record numbers. Disabled Albertans are being pushed further below the poverty line.
And tonight, the Premier chose to give a televised address on the taxpayers’ dime to attack judges and announce a referendum aimed at appeasing a fringe group of separatists who will never be satisfied anyway.
What a disgrace.

Jordan Leichnitz on Danielle Smith's irresponsible push for a sovereignty question: "This whole conversation is happening in a context where we have a southern neighbour who's expressed very keen interest in what's happening in Alberta, in what's happening with sovereignty sentiment in Alberta, in Alberta's energy and that has had no compunction interfering in other countries when it comes to things like elections and leadership."
Happy Mother’s Day to my mom in heaven. ❤️
She left us far too soon, but she gave me lessons and love that I will carry with me forever. As a nurse, she dedicated her life to caring for other people, even while fighting so many battles with her own health. She was the strongest woman I have ever known.
Growing up, she always told me not to listen to what other people had to say, to chase my dreams, and to remember that life is short. Those words have stayed with me every single day.
I miss her deeply, but I see pieces of her in the way I live my life, the way I love people, and the way I keep pushing forward no matter what.
Love you forever, Mom. ❤️

Funny how people who spent decades not voting suddenly think dismantling Canada is the answer to feeling unheard. Democracy only works when you participate in it.
Just spoke to a work colleague. She is a lifelong Albertan, she is 44 years old, and has never voted in her life "because her vote doesn't matter."
She said she will vote for the first time on October 19, for Alberta independence.

It’s actually pretty crazy nearly 3million Albertans (allegedly) had their electoral data posted on the web for all to see…
And not one gov’t minister, police force, investigative body, or public service agency has called a press conference to speak to Albertans. #ableg
