Forgive my ignorance but I remain confused why our supposed Environment minister is up discussing capital, infrastructure and heightened development with fewer regulations. Should that not be the job of an energy minister?

Alberta had 6 measles cases between 2019-2024.
It's up to 43 and counting in 2025.
Should the government be doing more to address the outbreak?

If you “love” your country only when your preferred choice leads its government. You don’t love your country.
In a press conference today, Smith maintains that she loves Canada, but also seems to concede that Carney will win the federal election and her government will create a "What's Next" panel to examine Alberta's options with regards to Canada.

I’m sure a lot of people missed this over the weekend because the Liberals did a good job of giving it no air. There is currently a two horse race for Calgary Confederation and Keira is the only candidate who has done the work to earn the trust of voters. #elbowsup 🇨🇦

It’s my privilege to stand with education workers. Hundreds of millions of dollars in bloated private surgical contracts and yet the UCP can’t scrape together more than a few cents for support workers who haven’t seen a raise in a decade. Enough is enough.

In 2015 I sponsored amendments to the human right act to add gender identity and gender expression.
Today I stood in opposition while the UCP passed all 3 of their anti-trans bills, rolling back those rights.
It is a sad moment in history we just witnessed.

It was a real missed opportunity to not have a cabinet minister wear a big funny hat at the recent auto insurance cap press conference.
A very serious cabinet minister with a very serious apron, and some very serious brisket getting cold as a backdrop behind him.
