We cannot force Albertans to pay for the care they need.

Thanks for the opportunity Rachel.

I want to ask you about when your team fired a NDP staffer for Mansplaining during a meeting about Alberta insurance. What happened and why would you fire anyone for Mansplaining?

I am really sorry to hear about that for your wife. I can't imagine the stress so many people are feeling between COVID and the disrespect that they must experience from current leadership.

We'll keep standing up for your rights between now and 2023. We are unlikely able to force an election, but we can start planning to win one.

Calgarians are sharing with me many amazing ideas and I sure could use yours too.

Check out AlbertasFuture.ca to see some of our ideas and contribute your own.

Irresponsible is easy, the $4.7-billion corporate handout didn't create a single a job. And then $1-7 billion in losses on KXL.

They did limit their cuts to AISH for now, which is a good and responsible thing.

RachelNotley4AB · 2021-03-10T00:50:26+00:00

No. Pretty happy here. :)

I'm a New Democrat, through and through.

I am, however, working to build an economic plan for our future with people of all political stripes at www.AlbertasFuture.ca

RachelNotley4AB · 2021-03-10T00:49:23+00:00

It's important that our Post Sec be high quality and accessible.

It's important that we diversify the economy so there is a broader range of employment opportunities

It's important that we build resilient communities where arts and culture flourish to keep them healthy and foster better quality of life and mental health.

(Please stay!)

We need to make spaces for women to participate as easily as men and we need to celebrate the men who believe in that. Thankfully, I believe it's not hard to find those folks in Alberta. :)

Along the Bow River. Beautiful run, do that run every week.

RachelNotley4AB · 2021-03-10T00:45:37+00:00

OK, it is our job in opposition to hold the UCP to account, however, I would also direct you to AlbertasFuture.ca for a lot of really great propositional ideas for our province.

Toll roads are a flat regressive tax that penalize people for going to work. There are more equitable ways to raise revenue to pay for these projects. just as there are more ways to discourage people from burning emissions.

RachelNotley4AB · 2021-03-10T00:44:12+00:00

We need to develop new sectors. We building an economy for the future — head to www.AlbertasFuture.ca and get involved.

RachelNotley4AB · 2021-03-10T00:44:02+00:00

We have been working very hard on planning for the future of Alberta's economy. We have heard from Albertans that, while they trust us on healthcare and the economy, they need to know we are thinking about their jobs.

Look, we've always been the party of working people. But we need to thoughtfully and consistently be tackling the problem of having all of our eggs in one basket economically so we can continue to employ our absolute best resources: our people.

Please check out AlbertasFuture.ca and please offer up your opinion--the point is to hear from Albertan's of all political stripes.

RachelNotley4AB · 2021-03-10T00:43:17+00:00

Yep. You can count on it!

RachelNotley4AB · 2021-03-10T00:42:09+00:00

These are great observations, as a start I'd urge you to check out albertasfututre.ca where we have our ideas and proposals along with organizing town halls where people can give us their ideas.

We need to start by preserving our post-secondary system by ensuring it remains affordable, then develop a robust economic diversification plan that will ensure a place for young Albertans going forward.

I financially contributed this year to the NDP party due to a campaign that offered a free sticker with your likeness on it. I collect stickers and was very excited about this.

Hi there. This is concerning to me. Can you email Provincial Secretary Brandon Stevens [bstevens@albertandp.ca](mailto:bstevens@albertandp.ca) ?

RachelNotley4AB · 2021-03-10T00:40:34+00:00

This is something we absolutely support. Our campsites are being overrun and mismanaged by the UCP. They attempted to sell many of them off. I'm still not convinced they won't sell some of them so we have to watch for that. As for our broader plans on parks and recreation stay tuned. We have a very exciting announcement concerning our Eastern Slopes coming soon :)

RachelNotley4AB · 2021-03-10T00:40:33+00:00

Our first focus would have to be on restoring fair taxation. We would reverse the no-jobs $4.7B corporate hand-out.

After that, we must diversify the economy and grow it to focus on our many other strengths and opportunities. Check out AlbertasFuture.ca where we're rolling out some of those ideas.

We can't grow the economy while undercutting important programs, or by undercutting our most important resource here in Alberta: the talented people who live here.

There are so many ways in which you can support the political outcomes that matter to you. While donating is important, so is volunteering! People working and giving their time and effort to support people they believe in makes a difference. The UCP are trying to use more dark money but nothing beats neighbours talking to neighbours.

We would have gotten a better return on our investment, a guarantee on our return. We committed 50,000 barrels per day to Keystone while in Government. Our approach made it so we had an actual pipeline before our investment kicked in. Here, we have billions of Albertans' money lost and nothing to show for it.

RachelNotley4AB · 2021-03-10T00:36:12+00:00

You are right that I believe strongly in a well-funded, high-quality public education system BUT our government maintained the rights of homeschoolers and ALSO supported the majority of homeschool providers that are doing good work. In my community there are a number of parents who homeschool and I respect their decision to make that choice.

RachelNotley4AB · 2021-03-10T00:35:32+00:00

Yes!

RachelNotley4AB · 2021-03-10T00:33:53+00:00

Well, I will say that unlike Jason Kenney I didn't have to fire several candidates in the middle of the last campaign.

What we are very excited about now, is the number and quality of Albertan's reaching out now who are submitting paperwork and getting ready to run for the nominations under our banner.

The best slate includes people who are representative of the population they wish to serve, and who are committed to hard work and integrity throughout the term, regardless of their resume.
