It was great to join @buildingtradesab.bsky.social last week for a conversation about the future of skilled trades in Alberta!
To fully support workers in this province, we must:
✅ End double-breasting.
✅ Create a strong path from apprenticeship to employment
✅ Invest in long-term retention

‘System in crisis’: Edmonton EMS overtime up 81 per cent since 2021
Data highlights cycle of understaffing, stress and attrition among Alberta paramedics
“This explosion of overtime in hours and costs is reflective of a system in crisis,” says Mike Parker, paramedic and president of the Health Sciences Association of Alberta.
This isn’t sustainable. It’s dangerous. Albertans deserve better.

When disaster strikes gov’t’s 1st priority should be protecting people.
But a new report reveals that in the midst of the Jasper wildfire, Danielle Smith & the UCP put politics 1st, interfering & making it harder for frontline workers to do their jobs.
Albertans deserve better.

BREAKING! 🚨
Egale Canada and Skipping Stone have just won an injunction against the UCP’s egregious Bill 26.
The UCP can now do the right thing and rescind their anti-trans legislation, and respect human rights.
They can start focusing on the real issues that Albertans care about.

And stop targeting vulnerable kids. Stop attacking our community.
Thank you to Egale, Skipping Stone, and all those who fought back against this discriminatory, hateful legislation.
Today, and every day, trans rights are human rights.

My family and I chose Canada for its promise: a strong, stable, fair, and welcoming country.
That promise is worth protecting.
On June 23, vote for healthcare, affordability, and a future we can be proud of. #VoteforBetter

Poll reveals who is Canada’s most popular premier and who is most disliked
The Pollara Strategic Insights survey suggests the premier's position on Donald Trump's tariffs was the deciding factor.
"At the other end of the popularity scale, 19 per cent had a positive impression of Smith, with 29 per cent negative for a net rate of -10 per cent."
Danielle Smith is officially Canada’s least popular Premier.
She's nothing if not consistent.

Did you know that Alberta is one of the only provinces that has no laws protecting workers’ tips?
That needs to change.
Bill 210 requires employers to pass on all tips to workers without deduction. Workers may choose to pool tips if they agree.
This is common sense legislation.

Danielle Smith is to Canada what Donald Trump is to the world.
They both lay claim to far more territory than they are entitled while they tear apart their own jurisdictions.
