  • A Copy of Premier Notley's Speaking Notes
    Friends, Fellow New Democrats, Fellow Albertans. Let's begin by acknowledging we are gathered on the traditional territory of Treaty 6. And by acknowledging the Metis people of Alberta, who share a deep connection to this land. Well, I don't know about you, but for me… This space, all of you, brings back memories. Three and a half years ago. Remember that night? We made a little bit of history, didn't we? Just a little bit. Here's a crazy idea: Let's do it again! Just like that night three years ago, standing here, I see the generations who have brought us to this point… generations of fighters. From the moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas, fighting for the future. To the kids who are our future. There are people here who have been around so long they door-knocked with my dad… Or at the very least, let him sleep on their couch. And there's lots of new people here, including people who left the Tories to join a real Big Tent Party! And friends, among us there are titans – Ray Martin, Raj Pannu, Brian Mason… And our entire team of MLAs, fired up and ready! To my family, I wouldn't be standing here if it wasn't for your love and support. Lou, you are my rock. If only rocks could do dishes. But hey, when K.D. Lang walks into the room, you fan-girl with the best of them... And I wouldn't have it any other way. To my kids, You are the very best of me, what grounds me, drives me and inspires me.
