Great news Alberta! A critical milestone has been reached under the Canada-Alberta energy agreement (MOU) so that our province can expect approval from the Federal Major Projects Office for actual construction of the West Coast Pipeline on or before September 1, 2027. When achieved, this would be the fastest approval of a major oil pipeline from Alberta in a generation! This project will deliver 1,000,000 new barrels of Alberta oil every single day to new Asian markets, creating jobs, strengthening our economy, and generating a phenomenal amount of wealth for Albertans and Canadians for decades to come. And just as importantly, Alberta has successfully fought to permanently end Justin Trudeau’s punitive oil and gas production cap and roll back his absurdly high industrial carbon price to a much more realistic level that will save our job creators over $250 billion and protect the livelihoods of Alberta workers. This is what happens when Alberta stands strong.

🔴LIVE Today, I am joined by Prime Minister Mark Carney to take the next major step to get a new West Coast oil pipeline built and bring Canadian energy to the world. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

With the Andes hantavirus outbreak generating significant media coverage, I want to reassure Albertans that the risk in our province remains very low. There were no Albertans onboard the MV Hondius cruise ship. Unlike other jurisdictions, only two Albertans were potentially exposed while travelling on a flight. They remain healthy, symptom-free, and are isolating at home, with health officials checking in daily. Anyone else considered low risk has been contacted and is monitoring for symptoms. It is important to remember that person-to-person transmission of this virus has only been documented following prolonged close contact. There is no evidence that asymptomatic individuals can spread the virus to others. While the risk in Alberta remains very low, we will continue monitoring the situation closely to help protect Albertans.

During Catholic Education Week, we recognize the important role Catholic education plays in supporting students, families, and communities across Alberta. We celebrate the dedication of educators and staff who help create positive learning environments where students can learn, grow, and prepare for the future.

Happy National Nursing Week! This week, we recognize the incredible nurses across Alberta whose skill, compassion, and dedication support patients and families every day. Whether in hospitals, clinics, long-term care, emergency response, or community settings, nurses play a vital role in delivering high-quality care to Albertans. Join us in celebrating and thanking nurses during National Nursing Week.

Alberta is taking action to meet the growing demand for skilled trades. Today, we will announce a major investment in NAIT to expand student capacity and prepare more Albertans for careers in technology and the trades twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

The Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation and the Alberta Women’s Health Foundation have made a historic $93.5 million gift to the Women and Children's Health Research Institute at the University of Alberta, the largest gift in the university’s history. This extraordinary investment represents a significant advancement for health research and will help drive new discoveries, improve treatments, and strengthen care for women and children across Alberta. We extend our sincere thanks to the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation and the Alberta Women’s Health Foundation for their leadership and generosity in supporting such vital and impactful work.

It was wonderful to speak at the Alberta Christian Leadership Summit and to be joined by so many of my colleagues and leaders from across Alberta. From caring for the vulnerable to serving others with compassion and faith, your work reflects the values that help make this province strong and free. And I was proud to share how those same values continue to guide our government.

Alberta’s physician workforce continues to grow strong! We now have 13,848 registered doctors in Alberta — an increase of 869 from this time last year. With growth across all zones of the province, our government will continue to strengthen Alberta’s physician workforce so Albertans get the care they need, when and where they need it.

Today on National Physician Day, we extend our deepest gratitude to physicians all across our province. They show up every day with expertise, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to Albertans. To every physician across our province: thank you for the difference you make every single day.

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.

Today, I was proud to announce how our government is taking action to improve early cancer detection and help patients preserve fertility and build a family after treatment. By lowering the age for breast cancer screening to 40, more women will be able to detect cancer earlier—when treatment is more effective and outcomes are better. At the same time, supporting fertility preservation helps ensure that treatment does not take away a future beyond diagnosis, including the choice to build a family. I look forward to working on this initiative with Cancer Care Alberta and Fertility Alberta. Thank you to Dr. Shiela Apavoo, Michelle Chidley, and Katie Smith-Parent for sharing their expertise and lived experience, and for helping advance these important conversations for Albertans.

Alberta is now covering the province’s first tubeless insulin pump, giving Albertans more freedom in managing diabetes! The Omnipod 5 automatically adjusts insulin in real time, making diabetes management easier and giving Albertans access to life-changing technology. Alberta continues to provide some of the most comprehensive publicly funded health benefits in Canada, and we’re committed to helping Albertans manage chronic conditions more easily every day.

Can politicians grow the economy? I’m skeptical, but governments can create the conditions for growth. So, what have we done? We lowered personal income taxes down to 8%, saving families an extra $1,500 per year allowing families to keep more of what they earn. 💰 We secured a landmark energy MOU with Ottawa setting the conditions for new pipelines. 🛢️ We have also provided more certainty to ratepayers in our electricity market so to shield them from spiking prices. 💡 Our agri-processing investment tax credit is helping our farmers and ranchers get more Alberta products to market. 🌾 We brought down your rent by helping the private sector build new homes, faster. 🏠 A growing economy means we can strengthen our core services like healthcare and education, seniors care, and infrastructure. 👨‍⚕️ On top of this, Alberta is up 85,000 jobs over the past year. ⬆️ And we’re just starting.

Alberta parents want their kids focused on the basics at school. Our government is not backing down on this. The NDP don’t agree and based upon the “equity card” meltdowns from their recent convention, one can see why…
