Almost $150M. That’s how much Albertans are on the hook for because this UCP government keeps flip-flopping on their coal policy. And that’s just to settle one lawsuit! Think about what else we could have used that money for: health care, education, supporting Albertans in an…
🎶 Coal policy flip flopping has cost Albertans $143 million 🎶 Add this to the UCP’s long list of taxpayer mismanagement and public money waste #ableg
Coal company wins $142.8-million from Alberta government over policy flip-flop #ableg #cdnpoli #cdnecon theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
Danielle Smith & the UCP claim RCMP officers don’t put down roots here or connect with communities they serve. It’s not true. Just more propaganda to push policies you don’t want. Alberta, you deserve better. Let’s talk about how we get there BetterTogetherSummer.ca #ableg
$1.28 billion in UCP waste. The latest flip flop added $143 million in spending to the UCP's failed record. The cost of this government keeps rising, and Albertans are paying the price.
Had a great time on Sunday chatting with folks at the Urhobo Osoko Association of Edmonton’s summer picnic in Victoria Park. Thanks to them for the invitation! #ableg


How much is your #autoinsurance bill? The Alberta UCP will oversee premium increases of 15% over 2 years with their ‘care-first’ model. Even insurance companies are saying the new model will result in far higher premiums for Albertans. #abpoli #ableg ibc.ca/news-insights/…
If Danielle Smith & the UCP had any credibility in pushing for an Alberta provincial police force, they wouldn't have to lie to support it. Yet they do, in propaganda & at town halls funded by tax $. Because anger & division is all they've got. Albertans deserve better. #ableg
The RCMP commissioner has written to the premier of Alberta to correct multiple falsehoods in the recent “Alberta Next” video on provincial policing. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
“Police are turning to the public for help in identifying the suspects. They are looking for a man who was wearing blue jeans, a blue jacket and a navy blue baseball cap, and another who was wearing black pants, a blue shirt, and a dark baseball cap.” #ableg #yegdt
Thieves marked the doorframes of several central Edmonton apartment units with glue to determine if residents were on vacation, police allege. edmonton.citynews.ca/2025/07/23/thi…
8 years united? - Two caucus members booted and reform the PCs - Danielle Smith admits separatism referendum is about holding party together - Separatist hard-liners splinter off to form Republican Party anyway Sure… “united” 🎂
Eight years ago today, Alberta’s conservative movement came together to form the United Conservative Party. Since then, thousands of volunteers, members and supporters have helped build a stronger, united movement rooted in conservative values and focused on standing up for…

As Albertans, let's continue supporting the community through its recovery. Our caucus is hosting the next meeting in Jasper to do our part. We encourage you to help out the local economy however you can.
Another life lost. 20 people have now died on city streets this year. Edmontonians witness reckless, dangerous driving every single day. It’s sure making an impression. Slow down. Put down the phone. Don’t drive drunk. We’re dead serious about change. Are you? #deadserious…
From story on Alberta journalist intimidation: When a Globe reporter asked Ms. Smith about the story ... she said “I’m not talking about that” and laughed as she walked away. In an interview with CTV later in the day, she said, “I condemn it.” theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta…
I encourage all Albertans to visit Jasper this summer, taking advantage of the Canada Strong pass, and to support local businesses and residents. Our caucus has scheduled our next caucus meeting in Jasper to do our own small part, and many of us will visit with family and…
The Premier's own hand-picked special advisor is at the heart of a conflict of interest complaint after multiple sole-sourced contracts. Did we mention he also sits on the board of Alberta's Energy Regulator? Albertans deserve better. ctvnews.ca/edmonton/artic…
