Albertans want stability.
They want to know that their jobs are secure.
There will be opportunity for their children & grandchildren.
They’re safe walking the streets in their neighbourhoods.
I want everyone to know, a UCP gov would provide that stability.

Hey
@R_Boissonnault
as my MP, I'd like to know why you didn’t vote in favour of cutting the carbon tax on all home heating. Even the NDP MPs next door voted in favour. I didn't realize issues of affordability stopped in Liberal ridings.

AB just secured children’s acetaminophen for years to come.
Yesterday NDP MLA Pancholi claimed “the UCP’s procurement of children’s medication has finally arrived comes far too late.”
The UCP stepped up to support parents. I wonder what action the

Frustrated parents are still finding it difficult to get their hands on children’s pain medicine and antibiotics at Canadians pharmacies, even as cold and flu season dwindles.

You added the largest tax increase in AB history on utility bills with the carbon tax, charged taxpayers $1.8 B & stuck the cost on our energy bills.
"Alberta electricity consumers will be stuck picking up the tab on their power bills for years to come."
-Calgary Herald, 2019
Utility bills are ridiculous right now.
Policy decisions made by Jason Kenney and the UCP are to blame.

FALSE. We’ve repeatedly stated our willingness to work on a fair and flexible agreement that includes all Alberta families.
This deal should already be done. The Kenney government is stalling because it doesn’t believe in affordable childcare.
Let’s be clear - there is no economic recovery without affordable childcare.
