The UCP promised triage doctors weeks ago, but Albertans are still waiting.

Now the Premier is pointing fingers instead of taking responsibility.

Yet again, this government is playing the blame game while ERs remain overcrowded and frontline staff are stretched to the limit.

Opinion: Alberta needs to lead β€” not leave β€” Canada Alberta doesn't need to leave Canada. Alberta needs to lead Canada; to create jobs, attract investment, and build long-term prosperity.

β€œIt’s tempting to think we’d be better off on our own. But every day this separatist conversation continues, Alberta loses ground where it matters most: investment, jobs, and economic growth.”

Danielle Smith is now blaming immigrants for her own decision.

How can she point the finger at overcrowding and unsustainable population growth while she's still paying people to move here?

The UCP managed to create a crisis in healthcare & education due to poor planning & decision-making.

Now they’ve added a $9.4 billion deficit to the budget, doubling Alberta’s provincial debt & pushing it over $100 billion.

Alberta’s New Democrats stand with Treaty Chiefs in historic non-confidence vote β€œThe unanimous vote of non‑confidence by the Assembly of Treaty Chiefs from Treaties 6, 7, and 8 is historic and reflects the profound harm caused by the Premier’s embrace of separatism.

This week, the Assembly of Treaty Chiefs from Treaties 6, 7, and 8, passed a unanimous vote of non-confidence in the Premier and the UCP government. This historic statement reflects the profound harm caused by the Premier’s embrace of separatism. /1

The Alberta Advantage meant anyone β€” including newcomers β€” could build a life and share in opportunity.

Now the UCP blames immigrants for UCP failures in health care & education.

Premier Smith asked for growth. So why scapegoat those least responsible?

Take responsibility.

The UCP squandered Alberta’s near-record resource wealth and still produced a $9.4 -billion deficitβ€”a failure of basic financial management.

Somehow, under some of strongest economic conditions in a generation, life is going to cost you more.

UCP Spends So Much and Delivers So Little in Budget 2026 After sevenΒ years under the UCP, life isΒ demonstrablyΒ harder for Albertans. This budget makes life even harder.

The UCP government has spent so much money to deliver so little for Albertans.

After seven years under the UCP, life is demonstrably harder for Albertans, and this budget does not help in any way.

Danielle Smith and the UCP are squandering our resources on their separatist agenda rather than focusing on what matters to Albertans.

The UCP blames their bad budget on immigrants when the real reason is their failure to show any fiscal responsibility..

Alberta faces massive deficits while:

- Premier Smith wasted money to store & destroy 700K bottles of Turkish Tylenol
- RCMP investigate bloated gov contracts

We lift each other up, we don't punch down.

Today in the Legislature, I spoke about the crisis in our ERs and the lives being lost, including Prashant Sreekumar.

Doctors have been calling for a state of emergency, yet the UCP refused our emergency debate, saying there was β€œother House business.”

People are dying. This must be the priority.

Even though the health care system is in crisis, the UCP shut down the Legislature early because they didn't want to talk about people dying in Alberta's emergency rooms.

We need solutions, not a government that shuts down debate.

It's time for the Premier and her UCP government to be accountable to Albertans. Divisive rhetoric is not an economic strategy, immigrants are not to blame for Smith's mismanagement. Albertans aren't falling for it. #ableg
