Today you have a ballot in front of you. “Yes to the Nine” means Alberta gets a real say over our own immigration, so growth matches the housing, schools and hospitals we have to support it. It means temporary programs contribute to the services they use. It means constitutional reforms that protect this province's authority no matter who sits in Ottawa. Vote today. ✅ Vote for a stronger Alberta within a united Canada. ✅ Vote yes to the nine.

We are live from Edmonton this afternoon with Federal and Provincial Government officials and the Canadian Armed Forces to give Canadians an update on the tragic events and response at CFB Wainwright. Watch here: cpac.ca/headline-politics/ep…

Alberta is mourning alongside the Canadian Armed Forces and the families, friends and colleagues of those affected by the tragic incident at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright yesterday. The loss of life and injuries are heartbreaking. On behalf of the Government of Alberta, I extend my deepest condolences to the families who have lost loved ones and wish those who have been injured a full recovery. Our thoughts are also with the military personnel, families and colleagues facing uncertainty and grief during this incredibly difficult time. We are deeply grateful to the first responders, paramedics, physicians, nurses and hospital teams across Alberta who have mobilized to provide care to those injured. Albertans should all be incredibly proud of their frontline health care workers and our acute care system that has managed this mass casualty event. We’re also thankful to our neighbours in Saskatchewan who did not hesitate to support our response with additional air ambulance capacity, and to other provinces who have reached out offering their support and condolences. I will be traveling to Edmonton today to meet with provincial ministers and federal officials. The Government of Alberta continues to work closely with the federal government and local authorities. We have convened our Emergency Management Cabinet Coordination Committee and the Provincial Emergency Coordination Centre (PECC) has been activated to a level 3. As a mark of respect for those who have lost their lives and in solidarity with the military community and their families, flags at provincial government buildings across Alberta will be lowered to half-mast. In the days ahead, our thoughts will remain with everyone affected by this tragedy. Alberta stands with the Canadian Armed Forces, the people of Wainwright and all those grieving during this difficult time.

23,100 more Albertans went to work last month than the month before. Since I was first elected in 2022, this province has added 305,000 net new jobs. Behind every one of those numbers is a person who got the call, a family that is growing stronger, and a paycheque that goes further here than almost anywhere in Canada. Alberta is working. Let's keep it that way.

After collaborative discussions with Alberta’s government, the federal government announced two very qualified judicial appointments for Alberta. To our knowledge, this is the first time in decades we’ve witnessed truly non-partisan cooperation on judicial appointments between a Liberal federal government and a Conservative provincial government. It is a clear indication that the federal government is beginning to treat Alberta with more respect and as an equal partner. Well done by all.

Over the past few months, endless Albertans have told us the same story. They saved for years to buy a single family home on a quiet street. They picked that neighbourhood on purpose, because of the park at the end of the block or the school two streets over or the neighbours who watch out for each other. Then one morning the house next door came down, with no notice, and later a 16 unit complex went up in its place, with nowhere for anyone to park and no consideration for the neighbourhood. Those are not complaints. They are people describing the place they built a life in with their family. So today we are acting. Edmonton will return to the density and height rules that were in place before 2024 and common sense minimum parking requirements, utility and water infrastructure considerations are coming back. Calgary will hold the line it set when it repealed blanket rezoning. Both cities will take a hard look at their bylaws and come back with something more balanced. Alberta needs more homes. We are building more of them than almost anywhere in Canada. But a home is more than a house, and a neighbourhood is more than a supply of lots.

The men and women who defend our nation give this country everything we ask of them. They deserve the very best this country can give back. Please join me from Edmonton today for this announcement. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1DxleVrVz…

Today, Alberta doctors voted 76% in favour of our new agreement, showing overwhelming support for what we can accomplish when we work together. More doctors are choosing Alberta than ever before, and we’re keeping that momentum going. In fact, since our government formed in 2019 over 3,180 net doctors have registered in Alberta, bringing the total to 14,661. We’re building a province where physicians want to practise, build their careers and put down roots, and where Albertans can get the care they need, when and where they need it. This new agreement with the Alberta Medical Association is another important step toward that future.

Alberta’s government has removed the fuel tax, saving Albertans 13 cents a litre at the pumps. Visit websites like GasBuddy @GasBuddy to track prices across the province. There are gas stations in Calgary under $1.40 today, and travelling a few blocks can mean real savings for your family, especially if you’re filling up a truck or minivan! 🛻🚙

LIVE: Prime Minister @MarkJCarney and I are providing an update this morning on the next step towards getting a major energy project built. Alberta energy is the answer to global energy security, and this project will help it reach new markets. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1oJMvNEer…

Piles of garbage dumped on your street, on farmland, in ditches. Your community and our environment deserve better than this. We are cracking down on illegal dumping and raising standards for higher-risk waste facilities. Break the law in Alberta and there will be serious consequences. Join me live. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1pKkOXvaP…

We will not tolerate illegal dumping in Alberta. Last year Calgary alone got about 30,000 complaints about illegal dumping. Piles left on roadsides, on farmland, on private property. Illegal dumping is not a victimless crime. Somebody always pays to clean it up and it is almost never the person who did it. The people stuck with the bill are the landowners, the municipalities and the taxpayers. This fall we are bringing in the toughest penalties in the country. Fines up to $100,000 for individuals and up to $1 million for corporations, plus jail time of up to six months. Albertans take pride in their communities. Our laws should back that up, and our cities deserve better than this.

Big day for rail in this province. Join us live today as Alberta and our federal partners announce the next steps on transportation infrastructure. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1kJzDPkVV…

Global uncertainty continues to push energy prices higher, and that’s putting more pressure on Albertans’ wallets. Today I announced that relief is on the way. Starting Oct. 1, Alberta will suspend the full provincial fuel tax, saving Albertans 13 cents per litre on gasoline and diesel every time they fill up until the end of the year. This is practical relief that helps families, workers and businesses keep more money in their pockets. Albertans already pay the lowest overall taxes in Canada, and this cut adds to our unmatched tax advantage.
