Let’s be honest for a second and ask ourselves: Why are billions of dollars in major private-sector investments choosing Alberta? 1. Data centres - Meta ($13B) 2. Energy - Shell ($22B) 3. Petrochemicals - Dow ($11B) 4. Power generation - Pembina-led project ($4.6B) 5. Hydrogen - Air Products ($4.6B) 6. Oil sands - IPC Blackrod ($855M) 7. Data centres - eStruxture ($750M) 8. Natural gas liquids - Pembina Pipeline ($570M) 9. Solar & battery storage - Northland Power ($500M) 10. Logistics & distribution - Dollarama ($450M) These are just few to mention and all are from different industries, different investors but all here in Alberta. I don’t think that’s happening by accident. For all the noise in politics, something bigger is happening beneath the headlines: investors with real capital are making long-term bets on Alberta. Clearly they see what many of us see. ✔️ A young and growing population ✔️ Abundant energy ✔️ Entrepreneurial people ✔️ Room to build ✔️ And a province that deeply believes economic growth is something to welcome and NOT apologize for. I know politics makes it easy to focus only on what is going wrong. But sometimes we should also stop and recognize when something is going right. Premier Danielle Smith and her UCP government deserve real credit for fighting to keep Alberta competitive, open for investment, and confident about its future. Behind every billion-dollar announcement are real people: a young person looking for their first good job. A tradesperson building a career. A newcomer trying to build a life. A small business hoping for its next customer. A family wondering whether their children will have opportunity close to home. That is why economic growth matters. Not for the headline. But for the people behind it. Alberta is not perfect. No place is. But something special is happening here and I think we should be proud of it. The world is betting on Alberta. Maybe it is time we bet on ourselves too.

"Jeremy was an example of what compassionate conservatism looks like, and we must raise all boats, not just some. If he is chosen to carry the conservative banner into the next election, I know he will be a strong voice for Calgary Signal Hill." - The Honourable Tanya Fir

I am really excited to speak at the NDP Medicine Hat AGM tomorrow! The incredible people living there need a partner, not a parachute candidate like the current premier. 
They need an economy that works everyday people and more investment in healthcare and education — in our future. I believe that, by working together, the Alberta NDP will win over Medicine Hat in 2027! #ableg #yxh

I know who I am. I know why I'm here. I know what the Alberta NDP stands for and it's you, the people of this incredible province. #ableg #yyc #yeg
