Your daily reminder to never take your foot off the gas pedal. It's easy to fall into a lull and complacency now that the election is over but the war on our sovereignty is only just beginning. Support our economy. Do your part. Keep Canada strong and free.

Confederation is like a family. Ultimatums, threats and escape plans are not a way to make a family work.

Premier Smith should ask herself what her intentions are here. Is she comfortable with where this might lead?

Are we, as Albertans?

The vibes are good. But every neighbourhood is different and support levels vary. This election will be very close - 338Canada.com has it as a toss-up and it sure feels like it.

We can win, with hard work.

Volunteer, talk to your friends and neighbours, and VOTE!
Took an hour-long Sunday walk through my riding Calgary-Confederation today. Here my (random and unscientific) count of lawn signs encountered:
Corey Hogan (LPC) - 30
Jeremy Nixon (CPC) - 12
Keira Gunn (NDP) - 8
Indicative of the result at #elxn25? #canada #cdnpoli #election #calgary

👋Some news

I’m running for Mark Carney's Liberals in Calgary-Confederation.

I live here, work here, raise my kids here. I want to offer representation that understands the economy and the public interest and be an Alberta voice standing up for Canada at a challenging time. 🧵(1/X)

Wondering why you're not seeing the American people's rising up across the country?

Because suppression of information is what the 5 dictators across the world want.

We're here. We're getting loud. We're getting rowdy. We're not backing down.🇺🇸🏴‍☠️
