If government spending is appropriate… why hide the records? The UCP has removed a key legislative mechanism that allowed MLAs to demand detailed records on government spending. Why eliminate transparency tools? Albertans deserve to know who is being paid, how much is being spent, and whether public dollars are...

We’ve seen what happens when governments blur the line between public information and political promotion. It erodes trust, weakens accountability, and puts taxpayer dollars at risk. Now, serious questions are being raised about how that line is being handled here in Alberta. Who is being paid? How much? And why won’t they disclose it? If there’s nothing to hide - show it. #abpoli #ableg #alberta #abtory #albertatory

The Vote Split Myth For 55 years, conservatives won every Alberta election but one - and that lone loss had nothing to do with vote splitting. It was about cronyism, corruption, and a government that lost the trust of Albertans. Today, we’re back in dangerous territory: scandals, secrecy, separatist politics, and a government trying to scare people into supporting them. In my new video, I break down why the “vote-splitting” argument is a myth - and why the real risk is going into the next election without a credible conservative option on the ballot. The Tory Party Progressive Tory Party of Alberta is rebuilding a responsible, trustworthy Progressive Conservative alternative. If you’ve ever felt politically homeless in this province…this is for you. #abpoli #ableg #alberta #tory #abtory

“The Government Says They’re Not Separatists - Their Actions Say Otherwise” Despite denying separatist intentions, the UCP’s actions - from the Alberta Next Panel to Bill 14 to the Premier’s ultimatums - point unmistakably toward a path that risks Alberta’s economic stability and national standing. Most Albertans are frustrated with Ottawa. But they do not want to separate. So why is the UCP pushing us toward a referendum destined to fail? In this video, I explain how these decisions weaken Alberta, isolate us, and undermine our long-term interests. The Tory Party believes Alberta is strongest within Canada - built through strategy, collaboration, and principled leadership. #abpoli #ableg #alberta #tory #abtory

Are Albertans’ savings being put at risk? Why is the government blurring the lines between a protected trust and a high-risk investment scheme? Alberta’s $32 billion Heritage Trust Fund exists to protect long-term savings for future generations. But the UCP has created a separate “Heritage Fund” targeting hedge-fund-level returns - and is presenting the two as if they are the same. They are not. In the Legislature this week I asked the Premier whether Albertans’ savings are being exposed to higher risk - including borrowing billions to invest in volatile markets and using public funds to backstop projects private capital has already rejected. Watch the exchange. The Tory Party believes Alberta’s savings should be protected, grown responsibly, and kept insulated from political misuse. Watch the clip. #abpoli #ableg #alberta #heritagetrustfund #abtory #albertatory

When Government Protects Itself First Last week, Elections Alberta confirmed something deeply disturbing. The provincial list of electors — personal information tied to nearly 3 million Albertans — was exploited without authorization. Now the RCMP are involved with yet another tie to this government. This is not just a breach of privacy — it’s a dereliction of duty. Government dismissed the warnings, changed the law and UCP staff participated in the disclosure. When a government works this hard to keep information hidden — it’s not transparency they’re protecting — it’s themselves. Control without accountability. Power without consequence. This is NOT a conservative government. Conservatives believe in stewardship and accountability – protecting the public. This is a government that protects itself first… refuses to investigate suspect dealings… won’t even listen to its own institutions. This is much bigger than one breach — it’s about trust in our democracy. And there must be consequences. #alberta #abpoli #ableg #albertatory #abtory

Who's Really Profiting from Alberta's Data Centers? The Alberta government calls data centers a multi-billion-dollar opportunity. But what's the return for Albertans? These projects demand enormous amounts of electricity, natural gas, water and public infrastructure. They place new pressures on municipalities and local communities, yet the government has provided very little information about the long-term economic benefits to Albertans. How much provincial tax revenue will they generate? What will they cost taxpayers and how will they affect affordability and inflation? Why are municipalities and local residents being sidelined in the process? I'm not opposed to data centers. Alberta should absolutely compete for investment. But attracting investment at any cost isn't good government. If Albertans are expected to provide the land, infrastructure, energy and public services that make these projects possible, then Albertans should be the first to benefit - not the last. We need transparency, accountability and a framework that protects the public interest before we commit billions of dollars' worth of Alberta's resources. Watch the video below for the full discussion. #datacenters #abpoli #ableg #ucp #abtory #alberta #energy

Another Day, Another Scandal This wasn’t known before today. The government changed how public funds were paid out - and routed $38 million through a lawyer connected to other ongoing government scandals. Same network. Same names. More money. Albertans deserve to know: - Why the rules were changed - Who approved it - And how much money actually reached its destination I raised this in the Legislature today. Watch what happens next. #ableg #abpoli #alberta #abtory -

Foreign Coal Giants Get Paid - Albertans flip the Bill Why are Alberta taxpayers footing the bill for payouts to foreign coal companies for resources that were never mined? When I served as Energy Minister, our position was firm - no payouts for imaginary profits. The law is clear a company may recover actual costs only - nothing more. But the UCP government reversed that position and handed out tens of millions anyway. Albertans deserve to know why. This is the same government that races to drag public servants, municipalities, health-care workers, teachers, - even MLAs - into court at the drop of a hat - yet folds instantly when foreign companies come calling for a cheque. These choices matter. It’s your money. Your resources – not theirs. Albertans expect a government that defends them - not one that bends to lobbyists and foreign corporations. #abpoli #ableg #abpc #albertapc #alberta

The Question They Didn't Want Answered - And Why It Matters Even More Today This is one of the more revealing exchanges I've had in Question Period. I asked straightforward questions about government decision-making, lobbying, and conflicts of interest involving the Premier. Instead of answers, I was met with interruptions, insults, and repeated attempts to shut down the discussion. Watch closely. Ask yourself: Why was this question so difficult to answer? And why were they so determined to prevent it from being asked? Since this exchange, Albertans have witnessed controversy after controversy involving sole-source contracts, procurement practices, government appointments, and questions of transparency and accountability. And now, AHS has been ordered by the courts to turn over documents to law enforcement. That development makes this exchange even more relevant. The details may change, but the pattern remains the same. When legitimate questions are raised, this government dodges responsibility. Too often we see deflection, obstruction, and theatrics. Question Period exists for one reason: accountability. Albertans deserve answers, not excuses. Watch this exchange and decide for yourself whether this is the standard of government Alberta deserves. #ableg #abpoli #accountability #ucp #alberta #publictrust #transparancy #abtory

The aircraft is still parked at Vienna Airport, raising serious questions. Is the Gulfstream G500 actually owned by the Government of Punjab, or is it on lease? If it belongs to the Government, why is it still registered in the name of an American trust/company instead of the Government of Punjab? Moreover, why is the aircraft currently in Vienna, and what purpose is being served there? The public has a right to know: 1. Who owns the aircraft? 2. Under what agreement was it acquired? 3. What are the operational and maintenance costs being paid from public funds? Transparency is essential when public money is involved.

I Was There. I Raised Concerns. Nothing Changed. This isn’t conservatism. It’s power without consequence. I sat at that cabinet table. I raised concerns. I pushed for stronger oversight because the governance problems were becoming impossible to ignore. Nothing changed. Today, we have ongoing RCMP investigations, court proceedings, allegations of corruption, search warrants, and serious questions about the use of public money -all while the same people who ignored those concerns continue to tell Albertans everything is fine. It isn’t. This isn’t about left versus right. It’s about accountability. It’s about whether government serves the public or serves itself. Watch the video and decide for yourself whether this is the standard of government Alberta deserves. #abtory #abpoli #accountability #Alberta #ucp #transparency

This is an issue of government transparency. The American people deserve to know what their tax dollars are funding, & what the government knows about UAPs. It's that simple. I look forward to next week's hearing.

The reason the government so insanely inefficient is that those in the government are spending your money on somebody else. That’s why we should minimize how much the government does. It is simply a giant version of the DMV!

Doug Ford is an elected official. He works for the people of Ontario. So why does his government act like the public doesn’t have the right to access public records? Transparency isn’t optional in a democracy. It’s the job.

🚨 “Ban Nick Shirley Bill” — AB 2624 A government that moves to limit transparency is a government that has something to hide. AB 2624: the “Ban Nick Shirley Bill” raises serious concerns about the future of investigative journalism in California. This bill would expand restrictions around recording and documenting inside certain facilities, including organizations that receive government funding. In practice, that means journalists and independent investigators could face legal penalties simply for documenting what’s happening inside taxpayer-funded operations. Think about that. The very people trying to expose fraud, abuse, or mismanagement could be the ones punished. This bill is backed by CHIRLA—an organization that has received millions in taxpayer funding over the years while also taking strong and often controversial positions on immigration policy and enforcement. Now the same ecosystem benefiting from public dollars is supporting legislation that could limit scrutiny and reduce transparency. Californians deserve the opposite. If taxpayer money is being spent, the public has a right to know how it’s being used. Journalists should be protected for exposing the truth—not threatened with penalties. Transparency isn’t optional

Albertans are rallying behind a Progressive Conservative option - not because of nostalgia or branding, but because of the values it represents. Internal polling shows that if a PC Party were on the ballot, the UCP would fall to third place - right back to where it began as the Wildrose. And that explains the desperation. The UCP has sued us. They interfered with our application at Elections Alberta. They are now seeking a court injunction to block us from using the PC name. And now it’s being rumoured they may even consider legislation banning the word “progressive” from future political parties altogether. When a government tries to change the rules to stop competition, it isn’t strength - it’s fear. Albertans are asking for stability over division, principle over performative politics, and a return to steady, responsible governance. The Progressive Conservative movement isn’t going anywhere. #abpc #albertapc #alberta #ableg #abpoli

Another Chief just shattered the silence. And this time, the spotlight is squarely on the UCP and Danielle Smith. While Albertans are told to “trust the government,” evidence keeps surfacing of quiet coordination, cross-border meetings, and political actors who seem far more interested in Washington than Ottawa. Let’s be clear: Indigenous Chiefs are now openly opposing the Alberta government not over ideology, but over sovereignty. Why are people tied to the UCP meeting with U.S. officials behind closed doors? Why are voices warning about foreign influence being dismissed instead of answered? And why does Danielle Smith refuse to clearly reject the dangerous “51st state” rhetoric that keeps circling her political orbit? This doesn’t look like leadership. It looks like recklessness. Canada is not a bargaining chip. Alberta is not a side deal. And premiers do not get to flirt with foreign agendas while hiding behind talking points. When Chiefs speak up, it’s not noise, it’s a warning. When whistleblowers emerge, it’s because institutions have failed. And when a government avoids transparency, Canadians have every right to assume the worst. Danielle Smith and the UCP owe Canadians answers. Until they give them, suspicion is earned not imagined. Canada first. Always. #CanadaFirst #ProtectSovereignty #ForeignInterference #UCPFailure #DanielleSmith #AlbertaPolitics #DefendCanada #No51stState #TransparencyNow
