Promise made.
Promise kept!
Today our government followed through on our election commitment to lower taxes for Albertans across the province.
On average, each Albertan will now keep $750 more in their pocket each year- which means $1,500 per family!

@Martyupnorth_2 You can hate Trump or hate Trudeau but the simple fact is Trump isn’t going anywhere and Trudeau needs to go away if we want to see US/Can
relationships normalize.
We need an election now!

Alberta is pleased to see that today President Donald Trump has decided to refrain from imposing tariffs on Canadian goods at this time as they study the issue further.
We appreciate the implied acknowledgement that this is a complex and delicate issue with serious implications for American and Canadian workers, businesses and consumers given the integration of our markets along with our critical energy and security partnership.
Avoiding tariffs will save hundreds of thousands of Canadian and American jobs across every sector. As an example, declining to impose U.S. tariffs on Canadian energy will preserve the viability of dozens of U.S. refineries and facilities that upgrade Alberta crude and the tens of thousands of Americans employed by them.
Despite the promising news today, the threat of U.S. tariffs is still very real. As a country, we need to immediately take the following steps to preserve and strengthen our economic and security partnership with the United States, and to avoid the future imposition of tariffs:
1. Focus on diplomacy and refrain from further talk of retaliatory measures including export tariffs or cutting off energy to the U.S.. Having spoken with the President, as well as dozens of Governors, Senators, members of Congress and allies of the incoming administration, I am convinced that the path to a positive resolution with our U.S. allies is strong and consistent diplomacy and working in good faith towards shared priorities. The worst possible response to today’s news would be the Federal Government or Premiers declaring “victory” or escalating tensions with unnecessary threats against the United States;
2. Negotiate ways to increase what Canadians and Americans buy from one another. As an example, the United States should look at purchasing more oil, timber and agricultural products from Canada, while Canada should look at purchasing more gas turbines, military equipment and the computer hardware needed to build our growing A.I. data centre sector. Finding ways to increase trade in both directions will be critical to achieving a win-win for both countries;
3. Double down on border security. Within the next month, all border provinces should either by themselves, or in partnership with the federal government, deploy the necessary resources to secure our shared border from illegal drugs and migration;
4. Announce a major acceleration of Canada’s 2% of GDP NATO target. This is clearly a shared priority that benefits both of our nations. There is no excuse for further delay;
5. Crack down on immigration streams and loopholes that are known to permit individuals hostile to Canada and the United States to enter our country, and restore immigration levels and rules to those under former Prime Minister Stephen Harper; and
6. Immediately repeal all federal anti-energy policies (production cap, CERs, C-69) and fast track northern gateway and energy east projects pre-approvals.
Service and sacrifice motivated more than a million Canadians in the last century to don a military uniform. This #Remembrance Day, we’re highlighting the incredible stories of some of those who served.
While their backgrounds and ethnic makeup differ widely, they were all Canadians – and all believed in our country. Because of their courage, Canada is the incredible place it is to live today. 🇨🇦
