Replacing a small level of uncertainty (Canada) with a gargantuan level of uncertainty (independence) is a massive step backward.

Alberta independence is how we end the economic uncertainty created by Ottawa.

False.
No passport. No armed forces. No health care system. No pensions. No OAS. No CPP. No disability benefits. No EI. No consular support. No student aid. No federal policing. No banking system protection. No free mobility. No constitutional rights.
You're alone.

Alberta Independence doesnโt mean losing your Canadian passport.
It means having two: Canadian & Albertan.

BCโs mining sector is entering a period of major growth, but meeting future demand will require thousands of skilled workers across critical occupations like equipment operators, mechanics, electricians, geoscientists, engineers, and truck drivers. ๐ท๐ทโโ๏ธ
New research released by MABC and the Centre for Training Excellence in Mining (CTEM) and @MiHRCouncil shows BCโs mining workforce could grow by between 5,000 and 12,000 workers over the next decade, driven by proposed new and expanding mining projects across the province. The report also highlights the need for stronger training pathways and workforce development to help fill the gap.

Ralph Klein said no to separation.
Because he knew that we are able to resolve things better, together as a united group of Canadians fighting for a better world.

I'm pleased to join this group of Albertans in launching Lead not Leave. The status quo is not the sole alternative to secession and even the risk of secession will have significant consequences for our province and our country. We must firmly say that Canada includes Alberta.
This morning @TravisToewsAB @jfdinning @PGarritty @trevortombe @andrew_leach @jengerson @DrJaredWesley and I launched Lead not Leave.

A strong reminder that miningโs impact in BC extends far beyond mine sites.
As highlighted in this @VancouverSun article, the mining sector plays a critical role in supporting jobs, businesses, and economic activity in urban centres like Vancouverโthrough a vast network of suppliers, services, and expertise.
MABC President & CEO @goehring_m notes that mining is increasingly a key driver of economic activity across the province, with benefits that reach communities well beyond where mines are located.
From engineering and finance to environmental services and technology, mining continues to support a diverse and growing ecosystem that contributes to BCโs economic resilience.

Mining is to Vancouver what oil and gas is to Calgary.
A new Mining and Metro Vancouver Economic Impact Study from MABC highlights the industryโs significant and growing role in the regionโs economy.
Key findings:
๐น Mining powers British Columbiaโs economy
๐นMining supports jobs and strengthens local economies across Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island
๐น Future mine development presents major economic opportunities for BC
With 22% of all mining-related employment based in Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island, Metro Vancouver is a global hub for mining activity.

This is the blocker to Canada becoming a critical minerals powerhouse:
"The report noted that gaps in capital funding have โstuntedโ the growth of Canadaโs critical minerals mining industry".
The 2025 @liberal_party platform had the solve: "expanding eligible activities under the Canadian Exploration Expense to include the costs of technical studies, such as engineering, economic and feasibility studies".
Keep the promise, unlock capital and let's build!

Our government and Japan are working together to accelerate and deepen a long-standing partnership between our two nations โ one that has already helped advance major LNG projects and anchor demand for Canadian critical minerals.
The value of Canadian energy and natural resources has never been clearer, and a deepening partnership with Japan - the worldโs fourth largest industrial economy โ will create new opportunities for Canadian companies to export our critical minerals, LNG, and forest products.
This is how we diversify trade and work with our allies to create economic opportunity for Canada and our G7 allies.
