The Alberta NDP led by Rachel Notley continues to lead the ruling UCP led by Premier Jason Kenney in popularity among voters, according to polling data released Thursday by Angus Reid. calgary.ctvnews.ca/alberta-n…

Did anyone have "get COVID directly from the Minister of Health" on their 2022 Bingo Card? Because a lot of @SSCACalgary members will probably be able to check that off thanks to @JasonCoppingAB not even understanding his ministry's own COVID guidelines 🤡 #ableg #covid19ab
Replying to @JasonCoppingAB
Did you host this open house on Saturday?

Justice Minister gets a ticket. Justice Minister calls Chief of Police. You don’t need a law degree to understand why that isn’t appropriate. There is no explanation that makes that a good idea. #ableg

Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions. The provincial government has gutted post-secondary at the worst possible time and we’re all worse-off for it. Students, faculty and staff deserve so much better!
This is not just OUR fight. This will play out across Alberta post secondaries over the next few years. Our teaching conditions are students’ learning conditions. That is universal. #CUEstrike thegatewayonline.ca/2022/01/…

Staffing levels limit Alberta Precision Labs (APL) ability to keep increasing COVID testing numbers. Private travel testing labs hired qualified and trained APL lab techs. Staff go where they may get paid more or get better benefits, work no weekends or nights, work full time.

Santa won’t bring anesthesiologists. Albertas population has increased almost 20% in the past decade but med school positions have been cut. Funding for an anaesthesia academic ARP (to train more) has been declined by government. Universities are defunded. cmaj.ca/content/192/30/E861

Almost 85% of eligible Albertans have done the right thing and are double vaccinated. Yet @jkenney is loosening restrictions for the small percentage who refuse to do it, affecting all of us. Why? Politics. If there was evidence to support this, he should show it. #ableg

I'd like to know who was in charge of the Alberta government at the beginning of a 4th wave that led to hundreds of unnecessary deaths. Was @jkenney a part-time Premier who made decisions in between Jamesons by the pool? Or was someone else in charge and doing nothing? #ableg

Worldwide access to vaccines is still the best hope to saving lives and slowing the development of new variants. All countries need have access to vaccines. ✅

Proud to report that the newly formed Alberta NDP Disability Caucus will hold its first Annual General Meeting tomorrow. I can’t wait to engage further with this group and look to them for ideas and guidance as we build to the 2023 election. #ableg #abpoli

Today on #TransDayOfRemembrance , we remember the lives of the Two-Spirit, trans and gender diverse people murdered, and of the real threats to personal safety that continue to face them. 1/3

Public healthcare is part of being Canadian. It’s need to be there for every person, when they need it. Alberta’s NDP will never apologize for investing in public healthcare. #ableg #abhealth

Imagine our shock.
Jason Kenney must immediately respond to allegations, made by one of his own MLAs, that his senior staff are illegally funneling money from a Political Action Committee to the United Conservative Party in a bid to rig the upcoming AGM. #ableg #abpoli #ucp

Meanwhile the Premier is tweeting about trucks.
If you have friends and family in BC, check in on them. The devastation is unlike anything they have experienced. We’re in shock over what we’re seeing while they’re living it. Compassion is all we’ve got until we figure out the plan for aid.
So much for Alberta’s pandemic recovery.
Other parts of Canada are recovering from COVID. But #Alberta isn’t. Jason Kenney promised jobs. Alberta has only gone downhill since the UCP took power. #ableg #abpoli #yeg #yyc #yql #Calgary #Edmonton
