We remember the Canadians who left home to defend our freedom and never came back. We honour those who returned forever changed. Their courage bought the peace we live in every day.
Lest we forget 🌺

After years of water system failures, flooding and property damage, a new independent report raises serious questions about what the former mayor of Calgary, and Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi knew and what he did about it.
Nenshi was briefed on the concerns, yet the warnings never made it to city council.
Years later, Calgarians are dealing with the disastrous Bearspaw water main failures, not once, but twice.
Residents were forced to boil their water and ration their water use. Meanwhile, the man who led Calgary for 11 years has blamed everyone but himself.
Now, Calgary families are facing water bills projected to DOUBLE over the next three years, exceeding $200 per month.
Nenshi wants to lead Alberta. He can’t even keep water running for Calgarians.

The biggest unreported story from yesterday: Carney snuck into the budget a massive immigration increase with the LARGEST NUMBER OF NEW PERMANENT RESIDENTS EVER next year.
Nearly 200,000 more than Trudeau’s highest-ever number year. When we have a shortage of jobs, homes, and health care.
Now we know why Carney snuck his immigration plan into a budget when everyone was distracted by the midterms and right before Parliament shuts for 10 days.
Unacceptable. This needs a real debate.

The Alberta NDP continues to spread misinformation and undermine the credibility of the Independent Advisory Panel who released the new electoral boundaries.
Using the last election’s popular vote results, the new boundaries would give the NDP +3 more seats and the UCP +1.
If someone tried to gerrymander, they did a terrible job…

Premier Danielle Smith: "We started by balancing the budget, six consecutive budget surpluses. We paid down $15 billion worth of NDP debt. We doubled the size of the heritage savings trust fund. We've created 305,000 jobs since October 2022."

Premier Danielle Smith: "Wokeism is dead in Alberta. Cancel culture is dead in Alberta. We don't want to have university students have to show an equity card to be able to stand up and speak at speaker's corner like they have to at an NDP convention."

The Liberals could lower gas and diesel prices today by scrapping their costly fuel standard tax. But they refuse.
Conservatives put forward a motion to remove all federal taxes on gas and diesel, including the fuel standard tax. Mark Carney and his Liberals voted against it.
Canadians need relief at the pumps, not more Liberal taxes. The Liberals had a choice: scrap the fuel standard tax, remove all federal fuel taxes until at least Canada Day, and give Canadians a break. Instead, they chose higher costs for Canadians.

We’ve heard what matters to Albertans. Keeping taxes low and making life more affordable.
That's why we've reduced the education portion of your property tax bill and frozen the rate for three years.
Every municipality in Alberta will now pay the same fair, consistent rate.
That certainty matters. It helps families plan their household budgets and gives municipalities the confidence to plan theirs.
A special thank you to Mayor Jeromy Farkas @JeromyYYC for his advocacy and willingness to work with us to get this right.

BC Premier-designate Lorne Doerkson on the federal tanker ban: "it is punitive against Canadian companies and only Canadian companies... It's a little bit bizarre to me that the only companies that can't are Canadians."

For fucks sake “we” didn’t ban Pride flags. We banned all flags other than Canada. And AB.
“Do your homework” is my message to the moron writing this narrative. Or quit.

🚨 BLOCKED: Ottawa continues to restrict Western Canada’s energy export options.
Liberals, New Democrats and the Bloc Québécois voted to defeat Bill C-264, which would have repealed the federal oil tanker ban on B.C.’s northern coast.

Mark Carney promised to make Canada an energy superpower. Today, his Liberals voted against Conservative Bill C-264 to repeal their shipping ban.
Strathcona Resources has proposed exporting up to 250,000 barrels of Canadian oil a day through Prince Rupert, but the ban stands in the way. Repealing it would open the door to proposals like this, creating opportunities for Canadian jobs, private investment, and new export markets beyond the U.S.
The Liberals had a chance to work with Conservatives to open new markets for Canadian oil and reduce our dependence on the U.S. Instead, they voted against Bill C-264. Energy superpower promises, same old Liberal roadblocks.

The best person for the job should get the job. Period.
Today we tabled legislation that would ensure hiring and promotion decisions in the public sector are based on merit, not DEI policies. Mandatory workplace training will be relevant to the roles and responsibilities of the employee, instead of mandatory DEI sessions.
Every Albertan deserves a fair shot, and fairness means everyone competes on the same terms.

Strathcona Resources is proposing to ship up to 250,000 barrels of Canadian oil a day by rail to Prince Rupert and then on to overseas markets.
Only one thing stands in the way: Mark Carney's tanker ban.
Let’s create more 🇨🇦 jobs, get better prices for our resources, and be less dependent on the U.S. by voting YES to Conservative MP @DMcKenzieCPC's bill on Wednesday to scrap the tanker ban and put Canada first.
