We are learning of a significant and tragic fire at CFB Wainwright today that is affecting many of our brave military personnel.
Alberta’s government is in close contact with the Government of Canada and Prime Minister Mark Carney as this situation evolves.
Thank you to the first responders and all those providing care and support to those affected.

Alberta closed the books on 2025-26 with a $2.2 billion surplus and the Heritage Savings Trust Fund finished the year at a record high of more than $32 billion.
We delivered that surplus in the same year we cut personal income taxes with a new 8% bracket, the lowest in the country. That put up to $750 back in the pocket of every Albertan and up to $1,500 back with the average family.
The Heritage Fund is on track to reach $35 billion in 2027 and $250 billion by 2050. Every dollar of income stays in and compounds. That is a promise to Albertans who come next and keeping it is one of the most important things this government will ever do.

Your family home matters. It is the biggest financial investment most people will ever make.
Families have been concerned about what is happening to out-of-control infill in their neighbourhoods.
This morning in Edmonton, I am joined by the Minister of Municipal Affairs Dan Williams, as our government takes action.

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.

Big day for rail in this province.

Releif is on the way!
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.

Let’s never hand this country's economy back to the 2% ever again. Those days did real damage and Canadians are still paying for them.
Canada is now following Alberta’s lead. Develop. Explore. Build the infrastructure that gets our resources to market.
The tide has turned. Let’s make the most of it.

The passing of Chief Justice Ritu Khullar is a profound loss for our province, justice system and the legal community she served with such distinction.
Chief Justice Khullar was a respected jurist whose career was marked by excellence, fairness and a deep commitment to the administration of justice. Throughout her years on the bench, she demonstrated a steadfast dedication to the rule of law and to ensuring that Albertans have confidence in our justice system.
As Chief Justice, she brought both intellectual rigour and compassionate leadership to her role. She worked tirelessly to strengthen the justice system and to advance meaningful access to justice while preserving the independence and integrity of the courts.
Her contributions to Alberta's legal landscape will endure for generations. She leaves behind an extraordinary professional legacy and set a standard of service that will continue to inspire judges, lawyers and future members of the profession.
My deepest condolences go to her husband and her sons, as well as to her extended family, friends and colleagues across the legal profession. Our province has lost a great Albertan whose contributions to our province will not be forgotten. We are grateful for her service and for the example she set through a lifetime of dedication to others.

I joined Fox Business this morning to advocate for a tariff free relationship, and for both federal governments to get back to the negotiating table.
My message to Americans is clear: tariffs and counter tariffs increase costs, disrupt supply chains, put pressure on businesses and workers, and impact families in both countries.
The U.S. benefits greatly from free trade with Canada because their refineries and businesses take our raw resource exports, such as energy, add two or three times their value through processing and manufacturing, and then export those value-added products around the world. This adds millions of jobs to the U.S. economy. It also enhances U.S. trade surpluses with other countries.
It’s an amazingly beneficial trading relationship for both countries that we should be building - not breaking.
Let’s get back to the negotiating table, finalize a deal & move forward as friendly neighbours and allies again.
