Why we're fighting back
The Smith government is exceeding
its mandate on every front
Their own words, on Albertans’ own signs — May 29, 2026.
Two-tier healthcare
Chronic under-funding and under-staffing of the public system while privatization grows.
Public school funding
The lowest funding in Canada while private schools receive increased public dollars.
CPP & RCMP withdrawal
Pursuing separation from national institutions against the wishes of most Albertans.
Coal mining at headwaters
Threatening rivers that supply water to half of our province for mining profits.
Affordability crisis
Alberta has the slowest wage growth in Canada while the cost of living keeps climbing.
Notwithstanding Clause abuse
Stripping Albertans of constitutional rights — including the right to strike — by overriding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Alberta separation
A reckless push to tear Alberta out of Canada — risking our pensions, healthcare coverage, and Charter rights while ignoring the affordability, healthcare, and education crises working families actually face.
Voices from the ground
Albertans are stepping up.
Working families built this province — and we will not sit quietly while it is dismantled. Show up on Oct 17.

About this campaign
A message from the
Alberta Federation of Labour
Fight Back Now! is a campaign by the AFL — Alberta's largest worker advocacy organization, representing unionized Albertans working in every sector and every community. We organized this campaign because the current government is taking all of us down a very dangerous path.
