Why are some (though not all) on the left so obsessed with allowing MAID for minors and those whose sole condition is that of mental illness. Seriously, help me understand because I just can’t.
Danielle Smith@ABDanielleSmith

Children and Albertans struggling with mental illness deserve protection, care, and hope, not MAID. Yesterday our government introduced Bill 18 to prohibit MAID for minors and for vulnerable Albertans whose sole underlying condition is mental illness, while strengthening oversight around every request to ensure MAID remains a true last resort.

What a grossly dishonest headline. The Globe seems to believe those suffering from “incurable” mental illness should be enabled to end their lives through MAID. The new Alberta MAID law prohibits those suffering from metal illness (and no terminal condition) from ending their lives. Oh and children as well can’t be killed either…imagine that. What a rag the Globe has become. Happily no one in Alberta believes or even reads their paper but sadly, many in the east are deceived by them daily.

Premier pitched the idea of a joint Alberta bid to host this incredible tournament and put the needed support behind it…and it worked. So excited to see Connor, Cale Makar and company retake Canada’s rightful place as world champs of hockey (and for God’s sake put Bouchard on the team this time!) And for all our Alberta fiscal hawks (who I love) the provincial investment in this will pay for itself many times over. Details to come.
Danielle Smith@ABDanielleSmith

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: The NHL just  announced that Alberta will get a front row seat to see Team Canada reclaim its rightful place as the champions of men’s international hockey when we host the World Cup of Hockey 2028.   Alberta’s Government has been working with the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames for months on this bid and will be making a further announcement with full details at 12pm live on my X, Facebook, and YouTube accounts.

Total lie and Nenshi knows it. All Alberta did was ensure windmills aren’t built in front of our mountains or on prime Ag land. And that they pay for their own transmission if they are in the middle of nowhere. We still lead the country in renewable growth and have for a decade. That said, I fully support Nenshi remaining leader of the Alberta NDP!
Naheed Nenshi@nenshi

Danielle Smith banned renewables. It chased billions of investment out of the province and cost thousands of jobs. And we’re still paying for it. Danielle Smith is causing an Alberta disadvantage. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Give this man the Order of Canada or that award becomes a meaningless woke paper weight.
Danielle Smith@ABDanielleSmith

It’s time for Prime Minister @MarkJCarney to join me and millions of our fellow Canadians in supporting the appointment of Don Cherry to the Order of Canada, one of our nation’s highest honours. This shouldn’t even be up for debate. Don Cherry is a Canadian icon, a hockey legend and is loved by Albertans. He’s not just one of the greats, his word and opinion about our national sport is still treated as hockey gospel by millions of Canadians. His contributions to Canadian sport and culture are undeniable, and the work he did to honour our nation’s veterans was an invaluable contribution to our country. He will forever hold a special place in the hearts of Canadians. So, put the puck in the net and give Grapes the recognition he deserves. Read the full story here: calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

Nenshi and the NDP: “Alberta is losing jobs because Smith is standing up for Alberta!” Reality: “Alberta is looking pretty good right now,” said Mark Parsons, ATB chief economist. “It’s really bucking the trend…to start the year, it’s been pretty strong, and the unemployment rate is falling below the national average.” That’s all despite a shakier economic outlook nationally. Any wonder nobody believes a word out of Nenshi’s mouth.

Don’t usually reply - but you are so misguided I have to. Her first bill was literally called “alberta sovereignty within a united canada act” - passed in 2022 —— 8 months prior to the 2023 election. Which she won. Try and get your facts straight before spewing misinformation.

@FreeAlbertaRob When Smith ran for the premier of Alberta during her campaign she never once mention in a united Canada because she would have never been elected. Your a liar.

I’m old enough to remember when Nenshi, Lukaszuk and other enlightened ones said the Premier’s ‘Alberta sovereignty within a United Canada’ agenda was driving away business. Alberta is quite literally saving Canada’s economy right now. The Alberta First agenda works…period. Nenshi, Lukaszuk and their ilk have literally no idea how to fight for Alberta’s economy or get bad federal policies reversed. All they do is turtle when the going gets rough. Premier Smith and the UCP continue to prove them and their allies wrong…over and over and over and over again
Danielle Smith@ABDanielleSmith

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.

Looks like a supermajority of support for the Premier’s proposals to right size immigration levels and have guest workers in our province pay for use of social programs. Let’s make this a huge mandate in October’s referendum Alberta. Could also help other provinces find the courage to do the same:)

BREAKING: New agreement effectively returns oversight of regulatory approvals for projects located in Alberta back to the provincial government. That’s one MOU milestone achieved…on to the next. I can smell that pipeline getting closer.
Danielle Smith@ABDanielleSmith

🚨 BREAKING: Today, Ottawa and Alberta reached an agreement that Alberta will oversee regulatory approvals for major projects located in our province. This agreement is the first milestone that needed to be achieved under our MOU with the Federal Government. We expect more milestones will be reached in the near future. The deal reached today reduces regulatory uncertainty, speeds up approvals, and puts Alberta in the driver’s seat so we can get pipelines and large projects approved and built faster.

Amazing news! Alberta’s Law Society has eliminated its DEI committee as a step in complying with ‘Peterson’s law’ just passed by the UCP last fall (with the Nenshi NDP opposing it all the way). I’d like to thank the Law Society for doing so. Eliminating DEI programs and practices are supported by the vast majority of Albertans who despise identity politics and believe hiring and promotions should be 100% merit based…period canadianlawyermag.com/resources/prof…

The real issue on property taxes @JeromyYYC is the continued steep increases in home and business assessment values by certain municipalities. That’s how a small change in the mill rate can equal a larger increase in the tax bill. Perhaps a cap on each homeowner’s or business’s annual municipal property tax increase is something for council and the province to consider. Certainly worth having the discussion.
Jeromy (Pathfinder) Farkas@JeromyYYC

By a vote of 13-1, City Council has just approved a Special Meeting to discuss the impacts of the 2026-2027 provincial budget. The province is proposing a $340 increase on Calgary taxpayers, the largest property tax hike in our city's history. Tune in live NOW: pub-calgary.escribemeetings.com/Players/ISISta…

You aren’t wrong Marty. We have to get on top of the immigration issue as we can’t afford to be catching up like this all the time. Building infrastructure and core services for 600,000 new people over 4 years is insanely expensive. I hope Albertans give the government an overwhelming mandate to do address this in the fall referendum. In the meantime the government is starting the work to implement that mandate should it be given.
Martyupnorth®- Unacceptable Fact Checker@Martyupnorth

The premier's chief of staff confirms what I said earlier. We're paying more taxes to build more schools, because we have too many people coming into the province. Why do I have to pay for the infrastructure of newcomers?

With sincere respect Mr. Mayor, this is inaccurate. The tax increase to the province’s portion of the mill rate is 4.41%. If it goes up more than that, it would be due to increased city assessments - not the province. So why the increase? We currently have 45 school projects in Calgary underway – including 14 new projects being announced for Calgary LATER TODAY. In addition, we’re supporting Calgary schools with over $2.24 billion in operating dollars, an increase of almost $100 million compared to last year. We also just announced 171 new teachers and 342 additional EAs for Calgary schools as part of the classroom complexity team push. We literally just added half of Calgary’s population in the last 4 years. We have some catching up to do and this part of it. Hope this clarifies things a bit for your team. Keep up the good work Mr. Mayor :)
Jeromy (Pathfinder) Farkas@JeromyYYC

The provincial government has just imposed the largest property tax increase on Calgarians in history. In 2026, Alberta is increasing its share of your property tax bill by 21.05%. Nearly 42% of every residential property tax dollar now goes directly to the Province, and the City is legally required to collect this massive tax increase. For a typical $706,000 home: 🔺 Province: +$339 🔹 City: +$49 We did our work to restrain spending while focusing on safety and core infrastructure. The City’s increase is 1.81%. The total increase is about $388, with the overwhelming majority driven by the Province. Check your estimate at calgary.ca/taxcalculator.
