Happy International Women’s Day.

Today in Lacombe we celebrated International Women’s Day with the Liberal Party of Canada- Alberta.

It was a wonderful opportunity to recognize the strength, leadership, and contributions of women in our communities.

I also had the chance to meet and chat with the hardworking women at a local Subway restaurant in Red Deer.

Their dedication and daily efforts remind us that women across every workplace help keep our communities running.

Thank you to all the incredible women in Lacombe, Red Deer, and across Alberta who work hard every day for their families and communities.

Friends and neighbours in Red Deer,

A recent mailer circulated by MP Burton Bailey claims that the Liberal government is planning to restrict religious freedom.

That claim is simply not true.

Freedom of religion is a fundamental right in Canada, protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and it is not under threat.

The legal changes being discussed involve removing outdated and redundant provisions in the Criminal Code. These changes do not criminalize preaching, practicing faith, or sharing religious beliefs in good faith. Canadians of every faith and those with no faith remain fully protected in expressing their beliefs.

Unfortunately, the claims made in this mailer present a misleading picture of the law and risk creating unnecessary fear among people of faith in our community.

Fear-based messaging does not strengthen our community it divides it.

Canada has always been strongest when we respect one another’s freedoms while protecting people from discrimination and hatred.

Protecting freedom of religion and protecting Canadians from harm are not competing values they are principles that coexist within a strong and inclusive democracy.

It is also important to note that this communication appears to have been distributed through a parliamentary mailer funded by taxpayers.

These resources are meant to inform constituents accurately and responsibly not to circulate partisan or misleading claims.

Members of Parliament take an oath to serve Canadians with honesty and integrity and to uphold the Constitution. Using publicly funded communications to spread misinformation undermines the trust that residents place in their elected representatives.

Red Deer is a diverse and respectful community of people of many faiths and beliefs.

Instead of spreading alarm, we should focus on bringing people together and working on the issues that truly matter to families here safe communities, economic opportunity, and respect for everyone.

Canada will always remain a country where people are free to worship, speak, and live according to their beliefs.

I encourage Mr. Bailey to correct the record and ensure that future communications to residents are accurate and responsible.

If you believe in facts over fear, please share this message so that the Red Deer community can see the truth and help discourage the spread of misleading information.

Red Deer Deserves the Truth.

Today, while going through my mail, I came across a “2025 in Review” flyer from our Conservative MP.

As a former Liberal candidate and a proud Red Deer resident, I feel compelled to speak not as a politician, but as a neighbour.

Red Deer deserves honest, constructive representation.

Year-in-review messages should focus on real achievements and measurable results, not photo ops or fear-based narratives.

Healthcare matters to all of us. Constitutionally, it is a provincial responsibility, with the federal government providing funding, national standards, and collaboration. Since taking office, the Carney government has prioritized predictable health transfers, workforce supports, and provincial accountability agreements.

If local healthcare struggles persist, Albertans deserve honesty about who is responsible. Blaming Ottawa does not reduce ER wait times or staffing shortages.

Transparency is especially important amid public criticism and allegations involving former Alberta Health Minister Adriana LaGrange, including claims of political interference. A recall petition highlighted lost public trust, yet these issues were absent from our MP’s flyer.

Red Deer deserves answers: where was our MP when residents raised concerns? Trust is earned, and publicly aligning with individuals tied to scandal undermines it.

Red Deer grows because of newcomers, not in spite of them. Immigrants and refugees work, pay taxes, volunteer, and raise families here. Using them as political scapegoats divides our community and ignores reality.

Responsible opposition is crucial. Red Deer residents want concrete results: What has our Conservative MP delivered for seniors, youth, workers, small businesses and farmers?

I’m curious where he and his other Conservative Colleagues who are elected from Alberta stands on unity in Canada. Does he reject divisive rhetoric and support a united country? If not why occupy a seat in Canadian Parliament ?

Can he also share why he didn’t sign the non-partisan “Forever Canada” petition, which was supported by thousands of Red Deer residents as a show of national solidarity?

Since taking office, the Carney Liberal government has demonstrated credible leadership strengthening healthcare, restoring integrity to immigration, supporting seniors and youth, backing small businesses, and standing up for Alberta workers while planning for the future.

Red Deer is diverse, growing, and strongest when we tell the truth. As a former Liberal candidate and proud resident, I will continue to speak up not for a party, but for our community.

As an advocate for Red Deer, I will also be hosting non-partisan coffee meetups on the first Saturday of every month, where residents can come together, discuss local issues, and plan how we can advocate for our concerns at different levels of government. The location of these meetups will be announced soon. Everyone is welcome to join, share ideas, and work toward a stronger, more connected community.

Let’s make Red Deer more prosperous, transparent, and united. 🇨🇦

Proud to see Mark Carney leadership being recognized on the world stage. 🇨🇦

At the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, Mark Carney spoke with clarity, vision, and confidence about Canada’s economic future.

This is the kind of steady, forward-looking leadership Canada needs right now, leadership that builds prosperity, strengthens partnerships, and creates opportunity for Canadians, including right here in Alberta. 🇨🇦✨

Canada strong 🇨🇦
