Calgary families continue to suffer through water rationing and higher water utility costs.

Meanwhile, Naheed Nenshi refuses to take responsibility for the findings of an independent report showing the former Calgary mayor and current Alberta NDP leader was warned about the risks to the city's water system but ignored them and hid the report’s recommendations from his Calgary council colleagues.

The results have been disastrous.

Calgarians and Albertans deserve competent leadership that prioritizes core infrastructure over vanity projects and waste.

Canadians are on board 🇨🇦

A new Ipsos poll finds that 81% of Canadians support building new pipelines and export terminals, with strong support in every region of the country, including Quebec.

Albertans have been making this case for years. Canada has the resources the world needs and Canadians are ready to build. Now it's time to get these projects done.

Hunters, farmers, sport shooters and collectors are not the problem.

Alberta is intervening in the Supreme Court of Canada appeal of Ottawa's 2020 firearms ban, because targeting law abiding firearms owners does nothing to make our communities safer. Real public safety means going after violent criminals and illegal gun traffickers.

Alberta has already said no to the federal confiscation scheme under the Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act. Now we're taking Alberta's case to the highest court in the country.

To every Albertan who owns firearms safely and responsibly: your provincial government has your back.

More Albertans will soon have faster access to care closer to home.

Today Minister Adriana LaGrange @AdrianaLaGrange announced $39 million to plan and secure land for 9 new urgent care centres across Alberta. Once open, they will more than double our urgent care network from 6 to 15 centres and could divert up to 300,000 emergency visits every year.

The new centres are planned for west and south Edmonton, the Stony Plain and Spruce Grove area, east Calgary, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Cold Lake, Fort McMurray and Sylvan Lake.

That means shorter waits, less pressure on our emergency rooms and the right care in the right place when families need it most.

Alberta’s beautiful new licence plate hits the road tomorrow!

With Moraine Lake, our wild rose and the words “Strong and Free,” this plate was chosen by Albertans, with more than 240,000 votes cast in total. It’s the first significant change to the design in over 40 years and it truly captures the beauty and spirit of this province.

Starting Monday, head to your closest registry to get yours. You can switch when you renew your registration or anytime you like.
