Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms, grandmas, and caregivers! Your love, strength, and wisdom inspire us every day. Thank you for being the heart of our families and communities! As spring arrives and the legislature heads into its final session of the year, I’ve had the chance to hear from many of you about your top concerns—affordability and economic uncertainty, especially with the U.S. becoming an increasingly unreliable trade partner.
At the time of my writing this article, the U.S. has upheld most of CUSMA, ensuring zero tariffs on key Canadian exports like energy, minerals, agriculture, and more. Diplomacy has proven to be the best tool for protecting our interests, and we must continue advocating for reduced tariffs while supporting affected workers.
Now is the time for Canada to break free from harmful policies that have left us overly dependent on the U.S. We must fast-track national resource corridors, empower provinces to develop their resources, and position our country as a global economic and energy leader.
Budget 2025 strengthens the Alberta Advantage by keeping taxes low. If Alberta had the same tax system as B.C., Albertans and businesses would pay $20.1 billion more in taxes. Instead, thanks to this year’s tax cuts, the average family will save $750 more in income taxes while continuing to pay no provincial sales tax.
Alberta’s legacy of low taxes and free enterprise remains strong—let’s keep building a competitive, prosperous future.
I want to congratulate all the successful candidates in our recent federal election. Democracy is the foundation of our nation, and I look forward to the future we will build together.
