If you’re excited for hockey season 🥅 🏒 then you’re in luck because the ‘Battle of Alberta’ is still going strong in this province!

I had a great time last night with #11 and #9 in support of the Canucks, Calgary’s AJHL team. Make sure you take the family out and catch a game this season.

I am so proud of our military members, veterans and their families for their dedication to our country.

Observing the courage, strength and perseverance of people in uniform, particularly those who have been injured while serving Canada, is truly inspiring.

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to True Patriot Love for your achievement in bringing the Invictus Games to Vancouver and demonstrating your ongoing support of our military community.

48 business leaders from Alberta headed to Ottawa to meet with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. They’ve joined us in sharing concerns about Ottawa’s push for a net-zero electricity system by 2035 and an incoming cap on greenhouse-gas emissions.

We are very pleased with the Supreme Court’s decision confirming the unconstitutionality of the federal government’s destructive Bill C-69 legislation. This legislation is already responsible for the loss of tens of billions in investment as well as thousands of jobs across many provinces and economic sectors. The ruling today represents an opportunity for all provinces to stop that bleeding and begin the process of reattracting those investments and jobs into our economies.

The decision is also a massive win for the protection of sovereign provincial rights under the Constitution. The federal government, through passage of Bill C-69, and continuing now with their proposed electricity regulations and oil and gas emissions cap, is blatantly attempting to erode and emasculate the rights and authorities of provinces as an equal order of government under the Canadian Constitution. Today’s court decision significantly strengthens our province’s legal position as we work to protect Albertans from federal intrusion into various areas of sovereign provincial jurisdiction. Alberta will continue to partner with other willing provinces and interveners in pushing back against these unconstitutional federal efforts using all legal means available to us.

Finally, we call on the federal government to learn the lessons from this decision and abandon their ongoing unconstitutional efforts to seize regulatory control over the electricity and natural resource sectors of all provinces. Instead, we invite them once more to come to the table in good faith and work with Alberta to align our mutual efforts on emissions reductions and development of our electricity grid and world-class energy sector.

In this regard, we hope today’s decision provides an opportunity for a reset in the ongoing provincial-federal discussions on these issues.

No one in Canada should be without access to electricity, but if the feds don’t smarten up they will put all of us at risk.

AB companies are speaking out.

Ottawa has spent billions on electric cars and batteries in eastern Canada.

If a fraction of that spending was dedicated to Alberta-based projects, Canada would see significant emissions reductions.

Alberta's plan is working.

Great question from this ☎️ radio caller on the future of the federal carbon tax.

Here’s my response

https://news.1rj.ru/str/ABDanielleSmith

Canada's Premiers stand in solidarity on the carbon tax. We unanimously agree that the carbon tax must not be used as a wedge issue to divide Canadians, but must be applied equitably across our nation.

Furthermore, the Prime Minister of Canada has not met collectively with Canada's Premiers since 2018- as healthcare, housing, and affordability still continues to hold Canadians back and there is a clear lack of leadership from our federal government.

Here is our joint statement: canadaspremiers.ca/premiers-focus…

Alberta's government has increased funding for homeless shelters by 71% and this includes funding 24/7 shelter operations.

Homeless shelters are not the permanent solution to this challenge. That is why we're investing in permanent housing programs to make sure everyone has a home in our province.
