Huge win for Alberta!
Not only was the federal government unconstitutionally encroaching on provincial rights regarding energy development, this ridiculous legislation also interfered with provincial rights to approve and build roads.
Alberta wins again.
C-69 (the ‘no new pipelines’ law) was found unconstitutional by Alberta’s Court of Appeal yet again and the Federal Government has agreed NOT to appeal the decision.
This will necessitate a major overhaul to the legislation that will result in the elimination of all federal interference in intra-provincial infrastructure projects.
We will continue to stand up for Alberta’s provincial rights at every turn. And we will keep winning those battles.
Thank you to the Elnora Legion for hosting today’s Remembrance Day ceremony.
Our military personnel from all across the country have fought for our freedom.
We will always honour them.
Lest we forget. #RemembranceDay2026
Today, we remember the service, commitment, and sacrifice our veterans and military personnel have given to all of us.
Thank you to the Innisfail Legion for hosting.

“Naming this bridge after Stu Hart recognizes the incredible legacy he and his family built right here in Calgary, and this bridge will serve as a lasting tribute to a family that has helped put Calgary on the map.”

It was an honour to open the new Stu Hart Bridge west of Calgary.
The project was named after a legendary Calgarian and was completed on time and on budget.
Our UCP government will continue to invest in infrastructure that makes life better for Albertans.
The 2028 Brier is coming to Red Deer!

Always an honour to deliver an Alberta flag to schools in Central Alberta.
Thank you to Principal Lidgren from Poplar Ridge School for doing an amazing job of teaching and supporting the next generation.
"An urgent care centre will help meet that demand, take pressure off busy emergency rooms, and give residents another option when they need health services."
Sylvan Lake to get new urgent care centre as Alberta announces $39M investment

“Sylvan Lake is a growing community, and families deserve access to timely care close to home. An urgent care centre will help meet that demand, take pressure off busy emergency rooms, and give residents another option when they need health services. This is an important investment for the future of Sylvan Lake and Central Alberta.”

Huge news for Central Alberta!
Sylvan Lake is getting an Urgent Care Centre!
This new health facility will help families get the care they need closer to home.
Your UCP government will continue to fund record numbers of doctors and nurses to help improve healthcare for everyone.
More Albertans will soon have faster access to care closer to home.
Today Minister Adriana LaGrange @AdrianaLaGrange announced $39 million to plan and secure land for 9 new urgent care centres across Alberta. Once open, they will more than double our urgent care network from 6 to 15 centres and could divert up to 300,000 emergency visits every year.
The new centres are planned for west and south Edmonton, the Stony Plain and Spruce Grove area, east Calgary, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Cold Lake, Fort McMurray and Sylvan Lake.
That means shorter waits, less pressure on our emergency rooms and the right care in the right place when families need it most.
The Bowden Grandview School held a great Remembrance Day Ceremony.
Students honoured active service members, veterans, and military families whose sacrifice and dedication will live on through generations of Canadians.
Lest we forget.
Calgarians have witnessed the fallout of Nenshi’s neglect of water infrastructure while he was Mayor.
Nenshi’s failure to build the Green Line shows a pattern of not being able to build or maintain basic services.
Nenshi can make pleasant promises, but he can not run a government.
After years of water system failures, flooding and property damage, a new independent report raises serious questions about what the former mayor of Calgary, and Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi knew and what he did about it.
Nenshi was briefed on the concerns, yet the warnings never made it to city council.
Years later, Calgarians are dealing with the disastrous Bearspaw water main failures, not once, but twice.
Residents were forced to boil their water and ration their water use. Meanwhile, the man who led Calgary for 11 years has blamed everyone but himself.
Now, Calgary families are facing water bills projected to DOUBLE over the next three years, exceeding $200 per month.
Nenshi wants to lead Alberta. He can’t even keep water running for Calgarians.
Thank you to the Canadian Association of Railway Suppliers (@CArailsuppliers) for bringing Canada's rail industry together in Edmonton.
Alberta is planning a high-speed rail system between Calgary and Edmonton that would revolutionize our transportation network for generations to come.
Great opportunity to speak at @RuraMA Government Bearpit Session.
Alberta will continue to partner with municipalities and build infrastructure that makes life better for all Albertans.

When Alberta's government spends money, it should buy from Alberta businesses first.
That's why qualified Alberta businesses now get priority consideration on smaller government contracts, and qualified Albertan/Canadian businesses get priority on larger ones. We're also reviewing contracts as they come up for renewal to find more opportunities to keep that work at home.
It's practical, it protects value for taxpayers and it keeps more jobs and paycheques right here in Alberta. In a time of tariffs and uncertainty, we're focused on what we can control.

Busy @RuralMA meetings this week. Alberta will continue to partner with municipalities to build road, bridge, and water projects that Albertans rely on everyday.

I’m delighted to share that “Here For Canada: Memoirs of the 22nd Prime Minister” is now officially released. It was an honour to serve our country, the best country in the world, with an incredible team of colleagues and I am pleased to share my account of those years.

Campus should be a place where students can think freely and debate. That's what Bill 38 is about.
If passed, Bill 38 would:
✅ Protect free speech by keeping universities and colleges neutral on political and social issues outside their mandate, while protecting academic freedom
✅ Make tuition predictable, with maximum tuition amounts for programs and increases capped at two per cent for current domestic students in 2027-28
✅ Set clear, consistent conduct standards so every student is treated fairly
✅ Cut red tape for specialized engineering and geoscience professionals
Our universities and colleges should teach students how to think, not what to think. Alberta will protect that freedom and keep a great education within reach for everyone.
Conservatives will continue to cut taxes and balance budgets.
We're lowering and freezing provincial education property tax rates across Alberta.
The new rates will standardize and freeze provincial education property tax rates for three years. These changes will help municipalities budget with confidence and give Albertans greater certainty when planning for the years ahead.
Through Budget 2027, we're making changes that will:
✅ Deliver savings: an estimated $98.7 million in savings for Alberta property owners in 2027-28.
✅ Improve fairness: Apply consistent provincial education property tax rates across municipalities.
✅ Provide certainty: Give municipalities a predictable provincial tax rate to plan around when making decisions for their communities.
✅ Protect Albertans: Introduce a one-time transition tax credit in 2027 for property owners in communities where the new provincial rates would otherwise be higher.
No matter where Albertans live, they should be able to count on a fair, consistent and predictable approach to education property taxes.
