It has been a long time since pancakes were flipped at the Legislature and I’m excited to bring this tradition back and welcome everyone to our K-Days Pancake Breakfast.
Bring the whole family and join us on Thursday, July 16, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. for a stack of buttery pancakes, and plenty of syrup.
Hope to see you there!
One of the largest private sector investments in Canadian history is coming home to Alberta.
@Meta has chosen Alberta for its first Canadian AI data centre, a historic $13 billion investment that will create thousands of jobs, strengthen our economy, and help position our province as a global leader in artificial intelligence and technology.
This project will support 3,000 construction jobs, 300 permanent positions, generate an estimated $250 million in annual benefits for Albertans, and invest $60 million into local roads, water, and community infrastructure.
Meta is fully funding new generation and grid infrastructure to support the data centre, which will improve reliability across the entire Alberta grid benefiting electricity customers across the province by reducing transmission costs by up to six per cent on Albertans’ utility bills.
We are proud to welcome Meta to and thank them for their confidence in our province, our economy, and most importantly, our people. Alberta has the energy, talent, and ambition to power the next generation of innovation.
What a fantastic Canada Day! 🇨🇦
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to the Calgary West UCP Party BBQ. It was great to see such a strong turnout, share some delicious food, and have meaningful conversations with so many of you.
Moments like this remind us how special our community is and why we’re so proud to call Canada home.
Thanks for making this year’s celebration one to remember!
Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the OpenCircle stakeholder meeting. It was great to hear different perspectives, discuss shared challenges, and exchange ideas on supporting continued growth and building a stronger community through collaboration.
With this incredible goal, in extra time, Canada 🇨🇦 is heading to the final 16 for the first time in World Cup history ⚽️
Huge congrats to the entire team @CANMNT_Official— you have made all of Canada proud!
I had an incredible opportunity to visit Camp Connect Charter School’a outdoor education space where students swap desks for an immersive, hands-on learning experience directly in the environment.
By stepping outside the traditional classroom, students are learning about the environment, in nature and astronomy in a place where the stars shine bright against the dark night sky. This is a phenomenal example of educational innovation in action.
The numbers don’t lie.
Alberta continues to be the economic engine of Canada, leading the country in growth, jobs, and wages.
When Alberta succeeds, Canada succeeds.
Organized crime has no place in Alberta.
Our government is investing nearly $8 million to help law enforcement crack down on gangs, extortion and criminal networks threatening Alberta families, businesses and communities.
This funding will give police agencies across the province stronger investigative tools, better coordination and more resources to target organized crime wherever it operates.
To the criminals targeting Alberta communities: we are coming after you.
To the business owners and families being intimidated or threatened: Alberta stands with you.

Economic reconciliation is strengthened through respectful partnership, collaboration, and a shared commitment to working together.
The Western Premiers and Indigenous Executive Roundtable reaffirmed that economic security is closely tied to economic self-determination. Expanding opportunities for Indigenous communities through equity ownership, investment, and long-term economic participation supports stronger, more resilient outcomes for everyone.
Thank you to the business leaders, partners and Premiers for their leadership and commitment to advancing this work together.

Alberta’s investment momentum keeps growing with another $570 million project moving forward in our province.
Pembina’s new Heartland Extraction Plant project will launch in 2029. This project will strengthen Alberta’s energy industry, create jobs, expand processing capacity, and support long-term growth in the Industrial Heartland.
Projects like this are happening because Alberta has the resources, workforce, infrastructure, and investment certainty companies are looking for.
“Do the math people.
While the rest of Canada lost over 33,000 jobs, Alberta added more than 85,000.
That doesn’t happen by accident — it happens through strong leadership, economic confidence, and policies that support workers, families, and investment.
Our Premier has done an amazing job keeping Alberta strong and creating opportunities for Albertans.” @ABDanielleSmith
Like many Canadians, we’ve watched life become harder over the last 15 years. Bills are higher, groceries cost more, good-paying jobs are harder to find, and the dream of owning a first home feels further away than ever before.
We don’t just “believe” Liberal/NDP policies hurt Canada — we know they did. Canadians have watched industries struggle, communities fall behind, crime and extortion rise, and families work harder while getting less in return. Even Alberta, one of the strongest and most prosperous provinces in Canada, has felt that pressure.
During COVID, there was no long-term economic plan other than handing out money. When global challenges came from the United States and President Trump, Canadians saw symbolic policies like banning plastic straws instead of serious plans to strengthen our economy and protect Canadian industries.
As an immigrant, I have no doubt in saying this: the Liberals flooded industries and brought in large numbers of workers without a real plan for housing, infrastructure
This isn’t just about people who support separation. It’s about everyday Albertans and Canadians who love this country and remember when being Canadian meant something powerful around the world. We were proud to travel with our flag, proud of our opportunities, and proud of the life we were building.
This should never be about choosing Alberta or choosing Canada. That kind of division only weakens us. We can stand up for Alberta while still loving Canada.
No matter where you stand,it’s time for Canadians and Albertans to come together, support each other, and push for a stronger future for the next generation.
I am fiercely loyal to Alberta and Canada and will be voting for our province to remain in confederation
Kicking the can down the road only prolongs an emotional and important debate, and muzzling the voices of hundreds of thousands of Albertans who want to be heard is unjustifiable in a free and democratic society.
It’s time to have a vote, understand the will of Albertans, and move on.

The NDP and Naheed Nenshi have thrown everything they can at Premier Danielle Smith, but she continues to fight for Albertans and push ahead no matter the pressure. Instead of joining the attacks, our own side should recognize the work being done and give credit where credit is due. #abpoli
Great news Alberta!
A critical milestone has been reached under the Canada-Alberta energy agreement (MOU) so that our province can expect approval from the Federal Major Projects Office for actual construction of the West Coast Pipeline on or before September 1, 2027.
When achieved, this would be the fastest approval of a major oil pipeline from Alberta in a generation!
This project will deliver 1,000,000 new barrels of Alberta oil every single day to new Asian markets, creating jobs, strengthening our economy, and generating a phenomenal amount of wealth for Albertans and Canadians for decades to come.
And just as importantly, Alberta has successfully fought to permanently end Justin Trudeau’s punitive oil and gas production cap and roll back his absurdly high industrial carbon price to a much more realistic level that will save our job creators over $250 billion and protect the livelihoods of Alberta workers.
This is what happens when Alberta stands strong.
