Enough. This headline is false. This is not a UCP candidate, but a person with the same name. The mainstream media quietly corrected the bottom of the story after they got it wrong, but are still tweeting the false headline for clicks just an hour ago. This is deliberate and…
Earlier today, multiple media outlets including the Canadian Press, Global News, and CTV published an inaccurate story alleging that a former UCP candidate has been found in contempt for not complying with an Elections Alberta investigation. This is completely inaccurate and is…
Alberta’s Heritage Fund has reached a record $30 B & is on track to reach its goal of $250 B by 2050. Through strategic investments, Alberta’s government is transforming today’s energy prosperity into long-term economic security for future generations: alberta.ca/release.cfm?xI…
Alberta is leading the country in housing starts in 2025. In fact, our province built nearly a quarter of all new homes in Canada so far this year! We're tackling the housing shortage head-on and working to eliminate red tape while reducing cost.

Alberta just made a historic $2.8 billion investment in the Heritage Fund, pushing it to a record high of $30 billion. That means we’re turning Alberta’s resource strength into long-term financial security. We’re investing today so all Albertans can benefit for generations.…
Watch LIVE as we announce hitting a major milestone toward a $250B Heritage Fund to build prosperity for future generations.
Statement on Jasper Wildfire Response and Recovery: Premier Danielle Smith, Minister Mike Ellis, Minister Todd Loewen, and Minister Jason Nixon. It is disheartening to see a report and the media response to that report that so clearly overlooks the substantial, coordinated…
This is great news. According to the CPSA’s second-quarter update, Alberta now has a record-breaking 12,327 physicians registered to practice across the province. This represents an increase of 204 physicians from the previous quarter and 571 more than at the same time last…

Reducing surgical wait times remains a key priority for Alberta’s government. That’s why we’re investing $22 million through Budget 2025 to renovate and expand the renal dialysis unit at Chinook Regional Hospital in Lethbridge. Once complete in summer 2026, the upgraded unit…

The threatened increase to U.S. tariffs on Canadians goods would be a tax on the American people. They would also hurt Canadian and American businesses and workers, and damage one of the most important trading and security alliances on earth. Retaliatory tariffs by the federal…
Thank you to the @yyc_health for an engaging and valuable discussion today on advancing health care in Calgary. Their partnership is crucial to supporting innovation, research, and frontline care.

Meeting with the @Albertadoctors today provided an important opportunity to address current challenges in Alberta’s health care system. The AMA continues to play a key role in supporting physicians and advancing patient care across the province.

Let’s talk about the Constitution. The Canadian Constitution is foundational to our democracy. But no document is perfect, and some things that made sense 150 years ago may no longer make sense. Many Albertans and Canadians have identified unfair and outdated parts of our…
Honoured to join Premier @ABDanielleSmith and my colleagues this morning at the Premier's annual Calgary Stampede pancake breakfast. A record turnout and meaningful conversations made it a memorable event.



This morning, I am joining Ontario Premier Doug Ford @fordnation to sign two new memorandums of understanding on energy priorities, trade and interprovincial cooperation.
ICYMI: Alberta won’t wait on Ottawa to decide how we keep our communities safe. That’s why we’ve followed through on our expansion of the Alberta Sheriff’s Police Service to support law enforcement, fill policing gaps, and make sure every corner of our province has the resources…
