[Alberta Counsel @albertacounsel]

Proud to see Alberta Counsel represented at the Forward Summit today by our Director of Indigenous Relations, Ted Bauer.

Ted joined fellow leaders and changemakers in an important conversation focused on Indigenous workforce participation, economic reconciliation, and building meaningful partnerships that create lasting opportunities for communities across Canada.

Events like the Forward Summit help move important conversations into meaningful action, and we’re honoured to be part of that dialogue.

From fiscal policy shifts to education reform and rising political uncertainty, recent developments highlight the complex forces shaping Alberta and Canada right now.

In our newest issue of The NEWS, we break down:

• How rising oil prices are reshaping Ottawa’s deficit outlook.
• What this means for Alberta’s fiscal position.
• The province’s evolving approach to teacher certification.
• And the growing legal and political uncertainty surrounding Alberta’s separatism debate.

We’re on the ground at #FNMPC26

Alberta Counsel is proud to be attending the First Nations Major Projects Coalition Conference in Toronto, where Indigenous leadership, industry, and investors are coming together to shape the future of major projects in Canada.

This year’s theme, “The Next Seven Generations: Our Shared Future,” is a powerful reminder that today’s decisions must create lasting value for generations to come.

We’re looking forward to meaningful conversations, new partnerships, and continuing to support Indigenous participation and equity in major projects.

Alberta's fiscal year ends in two weeks. With oil prices up, the government's deficit forecast of $4.1 billion is now on track for roughly half that. #ableg

Edmonton is one of the only Canadian cities that actually suffered an ISIS-inspired terrorist attack. The *only thing* that stopped it becoming a mass-casualty incident was the quick action of the Edmonton Police. Think of this when you see this cowardly slug of a man groveling before people who likely think the ISIS attacker had a point.

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

Edmonton Mayor Andrew Knack is an object lesson in how the Canadian left has lost its moral bearings.

He is attacking Edmonton’s Police Chief for a study trip to Israel with other big city chiefs.

But within weeks of becoming Mayor, Knack flew to the People’s Republic of China for an official visit.

So let’s compare:

ISRAEL

- The Middle East’s only real democracy.

- Famously independent judiciary that includes Arab judges, a system that has sentenced Israeli Prime Ministers, Presidents, and IDF officers when found guilty of crimes.

- Has a dynamic Parliamentary system that includes Arab parties who have been part of governing coalitions, and held the balance of power.

- The only modern state founded by an ancient indigenous people in their historic lands after millennia of colonial occupation and genocide. The most successful historical example of decolonization.

- The only Jewish state on Earth, whose raison d’être is to be a refuge for the victims of history’s most durable and pernicious hatred, born out of the ashes of the Holocaust.

- Has been attacked by hostile armies repeatedly, including on the very day of its creation and recognition by the UN.

- Has been the target of endless campaigns of violence by groups recognized under Canadian law as terrorists, including a pogrom two years ago involving mass rape and kidnapping that was the largest massacre of Jews since 1945.

- Relative to its size, is the most innovative economy in the world, with more per capita patents, successful tech startups, and Nobel prizes than any nation on Earth.

- The world’s most experienced police agencies in dealing with terrorism.

PRC

- Dictatorial one party state

- Seven decades of violent oppression of political dissidents, ethnic, and religious minorities

- The destruction of tens of thousands of Buddhist (mainly Tibetan) monasteries and temples; Muslim mosques; Christian Churches, and other places of worship

- The ongoing prosecution of an active genocide (according to the Parliament of Canada, et al) against the Uyghur Muslim minority

- The invasion, despoliation, and partial ethnic cleansing of Tibet.

- History’s largest state sanctioned famine, the Great Leap Forward, during which 30 to 45 million people were killed.

- Until recently, a brutally enforced One Child Policy that involved countless forced abortions and sterilizations

- The continued use of forced labour concentration camps

- The long standing world leader in executing people.

- Currently engaged in the largest military expansion in world history

- The publicly declared intent to use that military power to invade Taiwan, a peaceful neighbouring democracy, by 2027.

- An expansionist / imperialist agenda in the South China Sea, including the creation of artificial islands as military bases, the harassment of Filipino & other fishing & naval fleets

- Flagrant violation of Hong Kong’s Basic Law, including elimination of political and press freedoms, and the imprisonment of dissidents like Jimmy Lai.

- Massive industrial and political espionage, including against Canadian targets, involving patent and IP theft

- Massive interference in Canadian elections through the United Front Work Department

- 25+ years of violating WTO obligations through massive unfair trading practices, currency manipulation, subsidization of key industries, et

- Repeated arbitrary application of tariffs against Canada, including Alberta canola farmers during Knack’s PRC visit

- Arbitrary arrest & imprisonment of Canadians, including diplomats, and Canadian Muslim Hussein Ceilil who has been imprisoned, without consular access, since 2006.

- World’s largest & fastest growing source of GHG emissions.

- Key ally of the world’s worst regimes, including Putin’s Russia and the Mullahs’ Iranian terror state.

Etc.

Let the record show that Edmonton’s “progressive” Mayor kowtows to the world’s largest dictatorship, but condemns the democratic Jewish homeland.

For shame

Representatives from the Alberta Union of Nurse Practitioners met with the Premier’s Office Friday to discuss strengthening Alberta’s health system.

More Nurse Practitioners = better health outcomes for Albertans.

AUNP looks forward to advancing solutions that expand capacity and improve system efficiency.

From 2019 to 2023, oil and gas producers and pipeline operators spent $17.9 billion on environmental protection, more than primary metal manufacturers, miners and food manufacturers combined.

In 2023, Alberta businesses accounted for the largest share of environmental protection spending at 39 per cent, followed by Ontario at 20 per cent.

“The fact is Alberta taxpayers can no longer be asked to continue to subsidize the entire country through equalization and federal transfers, permit the federal government to flood our borders with new arrivals and then give free access to our most generous in the country social programs to anyone who moves here.” — @ABDanielleSmith

Jeneroux jettisoned conservative principles for a shortcut into government.

If they want to cross the floor Canada's elected officials should have to step down and run in a by-election first.

🇮🇹 The great Italian tenor, Andrea Bocelli, performs Puccini's classic "Nessun Dorma" at the opening of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan.

Italy is back, with class and style, and while cherishing her past, she has a renewed hope for the future.

As a bit of a political nerd, I like well-written speeches. Today's speech by @MarkJCarney at #Davos26 is an excellent example of what a speech can do. Kudos to whoever wrote it and the delivery.

Love seeing these sports “journalists” getting ABSOLUTELY BURIED for being curmudgeon bums..

OBVIOUSLY NOT ALL OF THEM but a LARGE % of these things hate sports.. they hate what sports are for people (happiness).. They hate what sports are for society (unifier).. they’re political journalists by nature who’ve preyed on sports because they saw it as an easier path to “make it”

Their days are numbered.. my show being broadcasted on ESPN 10 hours a week with ZERO creative say from any “journalism school” puppets is living proof of that.. that’s why they attack me as much as possible.. I’m happy the world is starting to see what they truly are.

Now… We as a society have to stop taking these particular humans seriously. Their opinions and thoughts are coming from a place of wanting to destroy sports.

Sports are the greatest thing on Earth, these motherfuckers have no idea… and will never get it.

Also.. Thank you Lynn Jones for setting up a situation for me and all of us on how Liam Coen, a man who might be a 🐐 when he’s done, handles compliments during one of his most miserable moments. He handled it with class and humility.. feels like some journalism was actually done there.
