Court Ellingson

The UCP have attacked immigrants, teachers, vulnerable people with disabilities & trans youth in #Alberta. In #Canada we don’t create 2nd class citizens or take away human rights Albertans deserve better Support us: act.albertandp.ca/donate/cfth Volunteer: volunteer.albertandp.ca/cfth/ #ableg

Fact: Pro-Separatist organizations are alleged to have an illegal copy of Alberta’s voter list, questioning the validity of their signatures. The evidence is mounting. This referendum is dangerous, unnecessary & fully the result of UCP Government action. #abpoli #ableg #yyc #Alberta #Canada

Fact: Danielle Smith & the UCP passed legislation which: - lowered the signature threshold for separatists to reach their referendum - changed legislation to allow unconstitutional questions in a referendum - limited Elections Alberta’s mandate to begin investigations #abpoli #ableg #Alberta

Fact: 400,000 people signed the Forever Canada petition to oppose a separatist referendum. The application states it was a policy proposal. Fact: The alleged 300,000 signatures collected by separatists are unverified by Elections Alberta as the court ruled it unconstitutional. #abpoli #ableg #yyc

Fantastic questions from Vassy Kapelos & CTV. Posting for awareness. No copyright infringement intended. All credit to their team. Full interview: youtu.be/Fjs2cw1JcYU?si… Premier Smith & the UCP say 700,000 Albertans want a referendum - they are straight up lying. #abpoli #ableg #Canada #yyc

Not a single UCP MLA agreed on the duty to consult #Indigenous communities re: separatist referendum Not even the UCP "Minister of Indigenous Relations" Rajan Sawhney your failure to act is an insult to all First Nations & Albertans. #Calgary NW residents: your MLA voted for this

First Nations voted no-confidence in the UCP Gov, with good reason. We should not have a referendum on separation. #Alberta NDP & I believe we have a duty to consult with #Indigenous communities. We are all treaty people. We must respect treaty rights. #abpoli #ableg #Canada

A lone separatist tried interrupting our pro-Canada rally We sang Oh #Canada impromptu, in response Albertans are proud Canadians. The vast majority don't want #Alberta to leave Danielle Smith & UCP gave a megaphone to loud extremists Next election, voters will remember. #abpoli #ableg #yyc

The faint cry of democracy dying in Alberta. An audience member disrupted the UCP-led committee proceedings in which the #Alberta Government approved a separatist referendum to leave Canada. Make no mistake. This is what Danielle Smith & the UCP wants. #abpoli #ableg #Canada #cdnpoli #yyc

No answers. No accountability. I asked UCP MLA Lunty why he, as a supposedly neutral Chair of a Legislative Committee dealing with the Forever Canada petition, had been quoted in a UCP press release claiming a referendum motion had passed while the committee was STILL in debate.

Albertans are facing a cost of living crisis & the UCP Gov aren't helping. They gave themselves a $6000 raise while we pay more for gas, groceries & everyday life. Alberta NDP put forward measures to protect your finances, lower bank fees & tackle grocery costs. #ableg #abpoli

Your auto insurance premium in #Alberta could go up by 10% in 2027. Albertans already face high cost of #housing, #groceries, #gas The UCP promised savings. This doesn't cut it. Email me at calgary.foothills@assembly.ab.ca to share your auto insurance stories. #abpoli #ableg

Everyone is struggling with #costs. People with #disabilities have it worse. #AISH clients are on a fixed income & are also dealing with rising prices. This can lead to serious challenges, including eviction. People need support. Albertans deserve better. #abpoli #ableg #yyc

#Gas is nearing $2/Litre in #Calgary. Cost of living continues to be a heavy burden. And yet, the UCP refuses to offer any affordability measures. Albertans need relief! #abpoli #ableg #yyc #Alberta

#Alberta UCP voted down an NDP bill proposing basic consumer financial protections after the massive Elections Alberta #databreach. Meanwhile, the Centurion Project's David Parker refused to comply with Elections Alberta's cease & desist order. The UCP's inaction is appalling.

To be clear, Bill 210 would have given Albertans tools to prevent credit fraud, including: Consumers would be able to request a freeze on their credit file. Credit reporting agencies would be required to place a security alert on a consumer’s credit report upon request. #abpoli #ableg

You can't trust this UCP Government. You can't trust this Premier. It's our #data at stake. The time to act is right now. Contact the Premier & let them know it's time to act: (780)-427-2251 // premier@gov.ab.ca #ableg #abpoli

Let's not follow the footsteps of the US & Donald Trump. The Alberta UCP are taking unprecedented steps to take control of redrawing electoral boundaries. Politicians shouldn't pick their voters. Voters should pick their politicians.

The majority of Albertans want to remain in #Canada. Yet, the UCP is enabling separatists to gain support for their cause. The Alberta NDP & I are leading the fight to stay in Canada! Go to foralbertaforcanada.ca & take action.

Nolan Hill in Calgary & Cochrane are 30 kms apart. What does the neighborhood of Reunion in North Airdrie have in common with Sage Hill in Calgary? Under the UCP minority report, these areas share the same MLA. This is gerrymandering, in plain sight. #abpoli #ableg #Alberta #Canada #yyc

Nearly 500,000 people signed the petition, yet the UCP has delayed action in order to give the separatists a chance to meet the threshold for their petition. Watch my comments in the 1st meeting of the committee where I push the UCP to act before the legislature rises in May. #abpoli #ableg #yyc

At #Calgary City Hall, we marked Trans Day of Visibility. Trans people are people - they have friends, families, careers & dreams. They love. They are loved. They deserve to have human rights, like we all do. #abpoli #ableg #transdayofvisibility🏳️‍⚧️ #trans

Watch my statement in the #Alberta legislature for the 2026 Trans Day of Visibility. Trans rights are human rights. #humanrights #equality #abpoli #ableg

As Eid Ul Fitr approaches, I’m wishing #EidMubarak to all who celebrate. #Ramadan is a holy time for the #Muslim community. It has been a privilege to join Al Makkah mosque & speak to attendees. I sat alongside congregants as they prayed before our Iftar dinner. #abpoli #ableg

The UCP Government changed ethics rules to: - Allow bigger gifts for politicians - Remove disclosures for expenses - Exempt most political staff from conflict of interest rules Now we learn Danielle Smith took a flight on a private jet provided by the Saudi Government... #ableg
