It cannot be understated: our broken immigration system has caused high unemployment, high home prices and high inflation. It must be fixed and provincial rights strengthened. Today, the Prime Minister got a copy of our referendum questions including the 9 on immigration and constitutional reforms. If Albertans give us a strong mandate on these questions, our government will get right to work on these needed reforms. And as I’ve said many times, please vote for Option 1, a strong Alberta within a united Canada, and yes to the rest! 🍁

Today you have a ballot in front of you. “Yes to the Nine” means Alberta gets a real say over our own immigration, so growth matches the housing, schools and hospitals we have to support it. It means temporary programs contribute to the services they use. It means constitutional reforms that protect this province's authority no matter who sits in Ottawa. Vote today. ✅ Vote for a stronger Alberta within a united Canada. ✅ Vote yes to the nine.

Advance polls are open until Saturday. Make sure to get out your vote in the referendum. I’ll be voting for Option 1 to remain in Canada on question 10. I’m voting Option 1 because standing up for Alberta and refusing to back down is working. The emissions cap is gone. C-69 no longer applies to our energy projects. Pacific Link is moving forward. We are getting results and we need to keep going. And on questions 1 through 9, I’m voting YES. Alberta needs more authority to make decisions in our own interests, support more sustainable immigration and protect the social services Albertans rely on. To find out where to vote, visit:

Spent yesterday afternoon at Discovery Wildlife Park in Innisfail, getting a crash course on bears from one of the caretakers who knows them best. This park is home to more than 30 species of orphaned and rescued animals that can't be released back into the wild. The people here give them a safe home for life and teach thousands of visitors every year what these animals need to thrive. Thank you to the whole team for the work you do and for the education.

I hope every UCP member and supporter will watch this video. The referendum is behind us. Albertans gave their answers and our party must honour that mandate. What comes next is the only fight that matters, and it is twelve months away. Naheed Nenshi's NDP have told us exactly what they will do with power: 🟠 Reopen the drug consumption sites we closed 🟠 Let minors undergo irreversible gender surgeries without their parents' knowledge. 🟠 Shut down school choice. 🟠 Bring back the production cap and the net zero regulations to phase out our energy sector. 🟠 Open border immigration. 🟠 A carbon tax. 🟠 And Avi Lewis in Ottawa pulling Nenshi’s strings. United, our party will win. Divided the NDP wins and all Albertans would suffer as a result. The time for division is over. The time to unite and fight for a stronger Alberta and Canada is now.

Today I spoke directly to Albertans following yesterday’s referendum vote. Alberta will remain in Canada, and for as long as I serve as premier, there will not be another referendum on the issue of separation. I’m also pleased that Albertans also gave our government a mandate to take greater control over immigration, to ensure temporary residents pay their share of the services they use and to require proof of citizenship to vote. Those reforms are coming, and they will strengthen Alberta’s autonomy. Now is the time to move forward not as a people divided by how we voted yesterday, but as neighbours, friends, Albertans and Canadians. Together, we will keep Alberta and Canada forever strong and free.

A student visa is a temporary document to study in Canada. That was always understood. Our universities and colleges were built by Alberta taxpayers, first and foremost for Alberta students. Where there is room for international students, the terms are simple. Earn your education, then return home to build a life with it. Rules are what make a fair system fair and our country needs to return to an immigration process that respects the rules.

Our injured soldiers are receiving the very best care. Spent time at Calgary’s Foothills hospital with many of the doctors, nurses and health care workers who are with them around the clock. Their dedication is incredible! To every one of these soldiers, Alberta is with you for the whole road to recovery.

One Card. That’s it. Starting July 2, Albertans can get a new driver’s licence or ID card that includes their healthcare number and proof of citizenship, all on one secure card at no additional cost. No more flimsy paper cards. No more carrying multiple pieces of ID. Just a common-sense change that makes life easier.

I joined Fox Business this morning to advocate for a tariff free relationship, and for both federal governments to get back to the negotiating table. My message to Americans is clear: tariffs and counter tariffs increase costs, disrupt supply chains, put pressure on businesses and workers, and impact families in both countries. The U.S. benefits greatly from free trade with Canada because their refineries and businesses take our raw resource exports, such as energy, add two or three times their value through processing and manufacturing, and then export those value-added products around the world. This adds millions of jobs to the U.S. economy. It also enhances U.S. trade surpluses with other countries. It’s an amazingly beneficial trading relationship for both countries that we should be building - not breaking. Let’s get back to the negotiating table, finalize a deal & move forward as friendly neighbours and allies again.

Alberta has a long history of welcoming a responsible and sustainable number of newcomers to our province who come here, get a job, build a life, and contribute to our province. Unfortunately, over the last 10 years the federal system has let temporary programs grow far beyond what they were designed for, and it’s putting pressure on the housing, schools and health care every family relies on. Temporary residents contribute about $150 million to our tax base annually, yet the cost to provide services for them is over $1 billion. It’s simply not fair to Alberta taxpayers. That’s why referendum proposes ways Alberta can: ✔️moderate population growth ✔️prioritize jobs for Albertans ✔️strengthen social services On October 19, Albertans have a chance to have their say on how immigration works in our province.

Canada is investing $8 billion into the facilities at Edmonton, Cold Lake, Suffield and Wainwright. The people serving on these bases are proud Canadians and proud Albertans. We also announced today that Alberta will also become home to the Western Main Operating Base for the RCAF's CC-330 Husky fleet. These investments will also create up to 38,000 new jobs and a growing defence industry rooted right here. What a huge day for Alberta!

Most Albertans have probably seen the headlines about companies wanting to invest in and build AI data centres in Alberta. Many Albertans are excited about that, but others have legitimate questions. Here are the answers to 6 common questions on everything from power to water to land use and how these investments will financially benefit our province now and in the future.
