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 marks an important milestone for recovery! The Blood Tribe Recovery Community is the first Indigenous-led recovery community to open in Alberta, offering culturally sensitive, land-based addiction treatment at no cost to the individual. Recovery works!

Encouraging to see all the work @adeararecovery is doing to support women, including those with children, rebuild their lives after addiction. They are doing amazing work and I look forward to seeing them continue to change lives!

Today, we remember the Canadian soldiers who fought their way up Vimy Ridge in 1917. More than 10,600 Canadian soldiers were killed or wounded, including over 3,500 who never made it home. We remember their courage and sacrifice which helped define our country. Lest we forget.

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.
