The UCP says $2,200 isn’t enough for MLA rent—but $1,901 is plenty for disabled Albertans to survive on. Make it make sense. If you agree, share this. #ableg #AlbertaDeservesBetter

Yet another family weighing in:.“Is the UCP against Albertans with disabilities?”. This isn’t political posturing…it’s pain. It’s fear. It’s frustration. When everyday Albertans start asking questions like this, leadership needs to listen. #ableg #UCP .

So @JasonNixonAB , so @ABDanielleSmith - Albertans are now choosing #MAID because you'd rather pocket their #AISH while posting an $8Bn 'Surplus'. @nenshi @MarieFrRenaud @zacharyweeks - the true costs of #UCP greed, right here . .

Welcome to my neck of the woods 🤠.
Something is shifting, I feel it. Yesterday Alberta’s New Dems walked in the Gibbons parade. This was a first for me. I wasn’t sure how we’d be received by the good people of Gibbons. They were was fabulous! . All along the parade route excited cheers! .🧡💜.#Alberta #Gibbons

The Minister for Accessibility in MB @NahanniFontaine just said this. That’s not a slip—it’s a failure of leadership. Access is not optional. It’s dignity. #Accessibility #DeafRights #ASL #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
