Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow (and we had all three today) will stop the #EdmontonStrathcona door knocking team from visiting new constituents in #RoyalGardens! What an amazing team! 🥰

Heather is a real fighter & one of the most intelligent, professional and no-bullshit people I've ever met in my life. Honest if I were to choose our next #PrimeMinister myself it would be a hard choice between #CharlieAngus and #HeatherMcPherson.
Heather is MP in #EdmontonStrathcona where I live.

We’re going to come back stronger.” McPherson was first elected in 2019 and had among the largest margins of victory in the 2021 election with 61 per cent of the vote. This year, she was up against Liberal candidate Ron Thiering, who represented the Liberals in the past two federal elections, but was defeated and Conservative candidate Miles Berry, who previously ran as the UCP candidate for Edmonton-Gold Bar in Alberta’s 2023 provincial election. The federal New Democratic Party has held strong in Edmonton Strathcona since 2008, when NDP’s Linda Duncan, in a narrow margin of victory, pushed out the Conservatives. Since then, the riding has stayed orange and was one of two NDP seats won in all of Alberta in the 2021 elec…

You have watched the debate over the last few days, who would you pick to lead the country. A vote for Ron is a vote for Mark Carney.

If the NDP playing games results in another election, I’m guessing they’ll be wiped out and give the Liberals a majority.

Seriously. At a time when Canadians need to pull together to deal with Trump’s threats? Over a throne speech?

4/7 Edmonton-Strathcona carries special weight - home turf of two NDP leaders, including Rachel Notley.

Former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi seeks to continue that tradition, facing five other candidates in the core-area riding.
