Great to see continuing increases in physicians registered in AB. CPSA Q3: record 12,126 physicians as of Sept 30, net gain of 518 vs Sept 30 2023. ⬆️ in all 5 Zones & 18 communities reported. Over 1/2 the total gain is Fam Med specialists.

Imagine treating a serious data breach like a cheap political stunt. Absolute absurd behaviour from the NDP.

BREAKING: A Presidential permit has been approved for a new bitumen pipeline that will initially deliver more than half a million barrels per day of Alberta oil to facilities and refineries throughout the United States. This project is a joint venture between two great Canadian and US companies South Bow and Bridger using existing assets. After years of advocacy from our government, and following the signing of the Canada-Alberta Energy Agreement last year, the federal government has lifted their oil and gas production cap. This means Alberta producers will be able to produce more of the oil that the world needs. It’s incredible to see that work already paying off with announcements like this. The US is our most important trading partner and we will continue to deliver energy to help secure North American energy dominance.

Alberta has been built by people who stand up for what they believe in. From farmers and ranchers to energy workers, teachers and nurses, Alberta is a place where people work toward something greater than themselves. This referendum gives Albertans a direct say in how we build on that legacy, and create a more sovereign Alberta within a united Canada. On October 19, Albertans will vote on nine referendum questions shaped by the Alberta Next Panel after extensive province-wide consultations. These questions focus on two key priorities: ensuring immigration remains sustainable and aligned with Alberta’s capacity, and advancing targeted constitutional changes to strengthen provincial autonomy and push back on federal overreach. Visit AlbertaReferendum2026.ca to find out more how you can shape Alberta's future.

This headline/story is simply wrong, CTV seems to have mixed it up w a different story. Breast screening is publicly funded, no charges to patients, same as always, in every province. @CTVCalgary please correct it.

The word cancer changes a life in an instant. No one is ever ready for the decisions that follow. That’s why we’re lowering the breast cancer screening age to 40 and helping cancer patients preserve their chance to have a family by funding fertility treatments through a new oncofertility program. Because every Albertan deserves hope, support, and a future beyond their diagnosis. See news release here: alberta.ca/release.cfm?xI…
