Today, the federal New Democratic Party selected its new leader.
It is clear that the direction of the federal party under this new leader, someone who openly cheered for the defeat of the Alberta NDP government, is not in the interests of Alberta.
Last year, Alberta’s New Democrats voted overwhelmingly to make membership in the federal party optional. Many thousands of our provincial members, including myself, are not members of the federal party. We are a big tent and welcome the support of people who vote for every federal party.
We believe in Alberta and we believe in Canadian energy and the good jobs it creates. We believe in more pipelines and in reducing emissions. We believe in strong public services and a strong jobs-driven economy to help pay for them. This is what we are fighting for every day.
Albertans deserve federal leaders who understand the importance of Alberta and our essential role in the federation.
Our focus is not on what the federal NDP says or does. Our fight is with Danielle Smith and the separatist UCP. Albertans deserve a better government, and we are here to be that better government.
Today’s news that separatists have been conspiring with U.S. officials to undermine Canada is deeply disturbing.
Danielle Smith emboldened separatists by cozying up to Donald Trump, weakening our country at a fragile moment when we need to stand firmly on Team Canada.

Four days it took her to say anything. And then she says … she will do nothing.
Not good enough. Her own office is implicated. The investigation can’t be delivered to the people being investigated. How dumb does she think Albertans are?
So again: at a bare minimum we need an RCMP investigation and a full public inquiry.
All those implicated must step aside during the inquiry.
Former AHS staff and Board members must be freed from any gag orders.
Albertans expect no less. Premier, it’s time to face the music.
