Honoured to address delegates at the @RuralMA Conference and sit down with councilors from across rural Alberta. These communities are the backbone of our province, and there's no place like home.

Every Albertan is expected to pay their taxes, including oil and gas companies. Today, Minister @BrianJeanAB joined me and @RuralMA in releasing 17 recommendations developed with municipalities and industry to tackle unpaid taxes, protect rural communities, and hold companies accountable. The report is online now. rmalberta.com/wp-content/upl…

Alberta is leading Canada in employment growth, adding 85,000 jobs year-over-year, over nine times more than the next highest-growth province, which added 9,200 jobs during the same period. Our unemployment rate remains below the national average and has fallen more than two points in the past six months. These numbers show Alberta’s resilience and why it continues to be the best place to live, work, and raise a family.

I would like to thank mayor Farkas for his support and cooperation throughout this process. At the end of the day, it's all about transparency and accountability.

Alberta is the economic powerhouse of Canada. Over the last year we’ve added 85,000 jobs – more than nine times the number added by the next highest-growth province. Can you imagine what’s in store with the oil production cap and net zero power regulations finally gone. This is the Alberta advantage at work: hard working people, abundant resources, a strong private sector and a government focused on creating the conditions for success. We will keep fighting to make sure Alberta remains the best place in Canada to live, work and build a future.

Today I announced an official inspection into the City of Calgary regarding the repeated failures to deliver water to its citizens. Water infrastructure is a key service the city must deliver, and Calgarians deserve to know what went wrong. You can watch my announcement at the link below: youtube.com/watch?v=OLIfBL…

A wonderful time at the 2026 Provincial Christian Prayer Breakfast, where we gathered to pray for our province and speak with colleagues from across the Alberta who are partners in strengthening the faith of our province.

Southern Alberta is a powerhouse for agriculture, energy, and trade, and Budget 2026 reflects that strength. We are investing $76 million through the Local Government Fiscal Framework to support local infrastructure, strengthen essential services, and ensure communities have stable, predictable funding. Strong regions. Strong Alberta.

Should Alberta ditch changing the clocks and stick to one time year round? Tell me what you think below 👇

Through the Local Government Fiscal Framework and Grants in Place of Taxes programs, Budget 2026 is providing $603 million to the City of Edmonton, supporting core infrastructure, essential services, and long-term growth. Supporting Edmonton. Strengthening Alberta.

Northern communities are at the heart of our province and a powerful driver of Alberta’s economy. That’s why Budget 2026 is investing $108 million through LGFF to support the roads, bridges, water systems and core infrastructure families and businesses rely on. When the North succeeds, Alberta succeeds.

Budget 2026 delivers for Calgary. Through the Local Government Fiscal Framework and the GIPOT program, we are providing $819 million in provincial funding to the City of Calgary, supporting core infrastructure, services, and long-term growth. Predictable. Responsible. Focused on results.

Incredible — a 90% reduction in overdoses, and the first time since 2017 that the South Zone has recorded zero opioid overdose deaths. For years, our government has taken a different approach to addiction. Safe supply was not the answer. Through compassionate intervention and real healthcare support, we will save more lives and bring family members home to their loved ones, drug-free.

Why is it easier to buy cigarettes than it is to buy a smoking cessation product, like nicotine pouches? It doesn’t make sense. Let’s get rid of the red tape so that nicotine pouches can be sold the same as any other nicotine or tobacco product, helping more Albertans quit smoking. It’s just common sense.

The Government of Alberta is announcing record investments to strengthen the province’s acute care system. Today’s update outlines the next steps in our plan to expand hospital capacity and support healthcare workers across the province twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

When times get tough, Albertans step up to the challenge. Budget 2026 is making responsible decisions to restore stability, strengthen our financial foundation, and protect the services Albertans rely on.

Earlier today, I had the opportunity to highlight the importance of the delivery of core services at the municipal level. Albertans deserve and demand that their governments, at all levels, make responsible investments into the services they are expected to deliver. Core services are the job, not a side project, not an afterthought. Roads, water, emergency services, and public safety must always come first. That’s the standard Albertans expect, and it’s the standard we are bound to uphold.

Not the result we wanted but memorable to watch that game with my son. So proud of this team and inspiring the next generation of Canadians!
