We have the largest oil and gas reserves in North America — and the fastest-growing market for wind and solar power in Canada.

There is so much opportunity to keep this going, and expand it further. 🧵

We can use our expertise in drilling to convert abandoned oil and gas wells into geothermal wells, turning a blight on the landscape into a new asset.

#ableg #yyc #yeg
We can use our abundance of natural gas to come out ahead in the global race to produce hydrogen fuel — both blue AND green.
#ableg #yyc #yeg
And frankly, we can get more value out of every barrel of our oil by using the carbon byproducts to create new products.

Just a couple months ago, I watched an Alberta engineer pour water into a concrete box made from bitumen. Water-proof cement from oil — amazing!

There is so much opportunity to diversify and grow Alberta energy.

I want to take a moment to speak directly to all of the young Albertans who are considering making the choice to leave our province.

🧵#ableg #yyc #yeg #cdnpoli #abpoli
I know things look bleak under the UCP. From cutting the youth minimum wage to raising the cost of your tuition, they have trampled on the opportunities this province once presented for you to build your future.

But I promise you change is coming. #ableg #yyc #yeg
The @albertaNDP will make it a core priority to undo the UCP government’s attacks on young people—and to build up our province so that young people want to move HERE instead of move away. #ableg #yyc #yeg

We depend on tradespeople to build everything from roads and hospitals to pipelines and refineries. Yet skilled trades training centres don’t get a penny of provincial funding, even as Alberta faces a skills shortage.

The @albertaNDP will change that. 🧵 #ableg
I have announced that we will scale up the number of Albertans who can seek meaningful employment in a trade by directly funding skilled trades training centres. #ableg
We’ll start with $3 million, but if demand is met, we’ll double our support. And if that demand is met, we’ll double it again. #ableg

Albertans are looking for a resilient jobs economy.
One of those Albertans came up to me just the other day. 🧵
#ableg #yyc
She was a young woman working in a coffee shop, over in Bankview, and she waved at me just as I was leaving.
And she said, “I just wanted to let you know that I’ll be voting for you.”

#ableg #yyc
And I said, “thank you … that’s very kind.”
And … she burst into tears.
So, we went outside and she told me how much the tuition for her university degree program had gone up — and now she’s getting hit with all these extra fees just to take her exams.

Alberta’s my home. It’s where I grew up, went to school, got a job and raised my family.

I love this province. And I want to make it a place where we are all proud to live.

Here’s what I mean.🧵

#ableg #yyc #yeg
I believe that Alberta has the people, businesses, institutions, and entrepreneurial spirit to make this province the envy of the country.

#ableg #yyc #yeg
It’s why I first decided to run for political office: to create a province that takes the best elements of itself to build something better for us all.

🧵Context on today's statement by the Premier:

The UCP government deindexed personal income taxes in their first budget in 2019.

This move increased income taxes on Albertans by more than $300 million dollars. 💸

The UCP then lied about it for three and a half years. 1/5
This tax increase has cost Albertans hundreds of millions in additional taxes during the worst affordability crisis in 40 years.

Today’s announcement fails to give all of that money back to Albertans who need it to afford food, housing, utilities, and car insurance. 2/5
While it’s good to see the UCP’s finally reverse their terrible decision to increase income taxes on Albertans, it’s only one of several ways they have made life more expensive. 3/5

This is a day many of us hoped we would never see.

The destruction of basic human rights for hundreds of millions of people in what was once one of the world’s great democracies.

#ableg #yyc #yeg
Only a short drive from where I am standing today, our neighbours are being stripped of the right to make decisions about their own bodies.

Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States is abhorrent.

#ableg #yyc #yeg
It destroys generations of hard-won progress towards equality for women, girls, and all people who become pregnant.
