Canada’s 1st First Nations Premier
@WabKinew
Alberta’s 1st 2-Spirit MLA
@sipiysis
and I am the 1st First Nations woman elected into the Alberta Legislature. There is much to celebrate and to be thankful for in our beautiful country. Happy Canada Day!
Woke up feeling inspired this morning! Huge congratulations to
@nenshi
on becoming the leader of the Alberta NDP.
Your incredible campaign brought hope to Albertans, and I applaud your efforts.
I'm excited to work with you and the Alberta NDP. Great things are on the horizon!
Alberta, we are stronger together.
I am proud to announce that I am running to be the leader of
@albertaNDP
and the next Premier of this great province.
I am honoured to be appointed the official critic of Environment, Parks & Climate Resilience.
We are in unprecedented times where governments must make climate & environment a priority. I will hold the UCP accountable for future generations of all Albertans.
Water shortages, forest fires burning, power grids failing, affordability crisis, housing crisis, drought, opioid crisis, and the health care crisis. This is what Alberta needs a leader to focus on.
Today I think about my oldest daughter’s biological mother. She was murdered and found in a ditch. Alberta has the highest rate of Murdered Indigenous Women in all of Canada. We have much work to do.
I am proud to be running for the Alberta NDP nomination here in Edmonton-Rutherford.
Thank you to my family, and to all of the many community members who came out to show your support today. Together we can do this. Hiy hiy. 🧡

Chief Laboucan of Driftpile Cree Nation inspired me to pursue politics. She taught me about bravery, elegance, poise & strength.
Her accuracy, clarity, purpose, and her vision for future generations will be the medicine I take with me. I’m grateful to stand on her shoulders.
I want to congratulate my adopted brother
@NehiyawGrant
on defending his PhD in Medical Science Paediatrics. His vital work on autism research and contribution to his Nation is remarkable. This is a victory for reconciliation, for First Nations research, and for all Canadians.
While walking Leo down by the river tonight, I saw Rescue teams furiously searching for the missing boy. My heart aches. My prayers go up for the family. I hope they find him safely soon.
Hiy hiy. Thank you!
We did it, I am beyond humbled and grateful for your support in helping me raise $60 000 so my name can be on the ballot for the Alberta NDP leadership election.
You are helping make history. You are helping make a better Alberta for generations to come.
My team and I are preparing for an exciting announcement on Saturday night! You’ll have to watch us live on Instagram or on Facebook. I’m looking forward to walking this journey ahead of me. I am ready. You’ll see.
I am grateful for the overwhelming support that brought me to the Alberta NDP leadership debate last night. It was an honour to stand alongside remarkable leaders; I am humbled by the opportunity to stand alongside them & share my vision for a better future.
Hiy hiy. Thank you.
Beautiful people of Alberta, we made the next $20k! Thank you all for your love, support and your donations! I officially will be in the debates. 💫🙏🏽 look at us.

Today, I announce the proposal of the Alberta Children's Act.
Our children deserve the very best. Which is why the proposed act focuses on building more schools, having more resources for youth, and supporting them past 18.

Thank you to the hardworking firefighters, first responders and leadership in navigating this very concerning and developing situation.
🌟 Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day! 🌟
Today, we celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous peoples across Canada. I am honored to stand with our community in recognition and celebration of this important day.
9 days until the election. I believe in Rachel and I believe in the team I stand with. I know without a doubt that we are the reasonable, practical & ethical choice. We are accountable, transparent & strategic about sustainable solutions to the complex issues facing Albertans.
It has been an incredible experience traveling around our beautiful province with my fellow candidates. They are brilliant, compassionate, articulate, insightful, and inspiring individuals. I feel humbled and grateful to stand beside such remarkable humans.

Here is where I stand on issues, and here are my commitments to you!
We are stronger together 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Campaign HQ is all hands on deck at E-7. This squad is incredible. They give 100% effort on everything from calls, signs, lit. drops and on the twice a day knocks we’ve been doing since April. When we win it’ll truly be a team effort. I love working with these fine folks.
The mandate letter missed the mark, omitting any strategy or accountability measures on climate change, protection of the Eastern Slopes from coal mining, water protection, or other serious environmental concerns.
As southern Alberta braces for another dry season, I rolled up my sleeves with
@KevinVanTighem
and friends to talk water protection, Eastern Slopes, and making a living in the face of climate change.

Our third and final debate took place last night in Edmonton. What a whirlwind this journey has been. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has reached out to tell me that I am their number one choice on the ballot! 🧡🙏🏽
Thank you Rachel. It was an honour to stand behind you. I am grateful for your leadership, support, love & determination. You have been a remarkable leader for the New Democrats, you will be missed as our leader there is no one who can fill your moccasins, absolutely no one.
It was such an honour to announce my leadership campaign at the Lethbridge International Peace Powwow. I am grateful for all the love and support I have received over the weekend. Hiyhiy nanaskamon 🙏🏽 News story by APTN

Dear Calgarians,
Your collective effort to reduce water use by 25% is inspiring. Fellow Albertans are thinking of you and admire your strength and compassion. Thank you to everyone for supporting one another and working tirelessly on this issue.
With love,

I will always champion good leadership and thoughtful, inclusive policy that represents the diversity of our beautiful province.
Hiy Hiy!
It breaks my heart to see our Elderly neglected. Inadequate staffing, funding cuts, no air conditioning…the list goes on and on. It is appalling that we take such poor care of the people who built this province. It’s undeniably shameful.

It's been a long day! Stop your scroll and meet our office pups (and 1 cat). Say hit to Izzy, Pudge, Appolo Lucca, Galileo (Leo), and Caddilac (the Cat, aka the Boss).
Now more than ever, we need strong experienced, progressive political leaders who have a proven track record of standing up to the UCP and Kenney.
I’m excited to share some exciting news tomorrow morning at 11:00AM

Traveling across Alberta, Jodi has listened to communities. Albertans want hospitals that work, smaller classrooms, better healthcare, and environmental protection. You deserve a government that listens and acts. Jodi hears you, Alberta. Together, we can build a thriving future!
Last night was an absolute joy spending time with my amazing constituents at the Blue Quill Estates food truck night! It was wonderful to see so many families and community members come together, sharing delicious food and creating memories.
An amazing day with New Democrats in Camrose! I loved the tough questions and the high expectations citizens have of their next leader. This is how a movement is built, by the people.

Last night’s CPP townhall was fantastic!Thank you for sharing and for showing up! The clear opposition to Danielle Smith’s retirement plan was overwhelming. The UCP government must recognize that pensions belong to Albertans, not their politicians.
I sat down to speak with Energi Media about my vision for Alberta.
This includes protecting our water, making sure Albertans benefit from the natural resources of the lands we call ‘home’, and much more.
Watch the full discussion here:
