Distractions. Deficits. Wrong direction.
After six years of the UCP, life is not getting better for Albertans. It’s time to focus on real priorities: health care, education, and affordability.

This is what many, many Albertans are thinking - Premier Smith and the UCP waste money and blame everyone else.

Yesterday I stopped by the Engagement Session for the Green Line at the Memorial Park Library. If you couldn’t make it, you can still share your feedback online!

Thank you, friends, for supporting Calgary-Buffalo with your donations. Your willingness to step up at a time when separatist voices-both inside and outside government are working to make life harder for everyone. All, is appreciated!

Last night I was at Festival Hall for Block Heater and had an incredible time! Lindi Ortega and MOONRIIVR delivered fantastic performances. I also took a walk through the Plus 15 Gallery at the Werkland Centre, a great reminder of how much creativity is thriving in our city.

I attended the celebration honouring Charles Daniels at the Grand. It was a powerful tribute, blending poetry, music, theatre and dance to recognize his courage in standing up to discrimination in 1914. Daniels legacy continues to inspire the fight for justice and equality today.

Thank you Calgary Heritage Housing for meeting. Calgary, like other places, is seeing an aging population and a scarcity of quality, affordable seniors housing. Your work in addressing the needs of tenants and providing such an essential service to Calgary seniors is valued.

Toured Calgary’s Chinatown and learned so much about its history and culture. This neighbourhood has given so much to our city, and every visit teaches me something new. If you’re curious to learn more, reach out to friendsofchinatownyyc online!

The Ship & Anchor has launched careers, built community, and kept Calgary’s music scene alive for decades. Redevelopment can’t come at the cost of our culture.

Alberta kids deserve more than just access to sports. If we want real opportunity for every child, we need to invest in a wider range of programs beyond sports, like the arts, that help more young people build confidence, and reach their full potential.

Wise words from Grant below. More support for Canadian creators, means more intellectual property that can be invested in. Win, win for everyone here.

Honoured to attend the ceremony celebrating Dr. Cindy Blackstock, Gitxsan First Nation member & McGill professor, recipient of the 2025 John Rook Leadership Award for Poverty Reduction. Her tireless advocacy for First Nations children is inspiring.

Friends there is still time before year end to help send a message to Danielle Smith and her separatist Ministers and back benchers that Alberta’s NDP Opposition will oppose with every fibre their destruction of our healthcare system, public education and mining our Rockies.

Alberta’s affordability crisis is squeezing nonprofits. The historic Old Y in Calgary’s Beltline now sits empty after 65 orgs were forced out. Rising rents threaten essential services. We need real solutions to keep communities safe and strong. #SupportNonprofits #YYC

Calgary needs the Old Y.
For over 115 years, this historic Beltline landmark has been a hub for grassroots organizations and community care. Today, it sits empty, but its future isn’t written yet.
Join Save the Old Y to call on the City to keep this space alive.

Great day on the doorstep saying hi to constituents in Calgary-Buffalo and hearing what a botched job the UCP government has done with the teachers strike. Go Jays Go!

Alberta teachers dismayed by proposed back-to-work order | CBC News Premier Danielle Smith announced Thursday that her government would, absent a negotiated deal at the bargaining table, pass back-to-work legislation Monday to end the strike that began Oct. 6.

Legislating teachers back to work doesn't solve any fundamental problems, it only erodes and degrades the already overcrowded and underfunded school system.
