Alberta Government ☑️News

Edmonton, thank you.

I'm excited to build a stronger Edmonton, together.

Prime Minister Mark Carney sits at a meeting table with Premiers and participants during the First Ministers’ Meeting in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

The premiers and I want to make Canada a global energy superpower and build the strongest economy in the G7.
 
We’re working together to break down trade barriers across the country and get big, nation-building projects off the ground faster.

Prime Minister Mark Carney sits at a table across from Premier Danielle Smith during a meeting in Calgary, Alberta. 

Premier Danielle Smith and I had a constructive meeting today discussing what matters most: building one united Canadian economy — including getting big things built and major infrastructure projects off the ground, in Alberta and across Canada.

🐇🥚 Happy Easter to all those who celebrate and everyone on the hunt for the goodies the Easter bunny left to find. We hope you and yours have a wonderful long weekend. 🐇🥚

🇨🇦 BIG news: @youralberta.bsky.social has officially declared February 22nd as World Encephalitis Day, March as #NMOSD Awareness Month & April as #MOGAD Awareness Month!☺️

Special thanks to Alanna, TSF Director of Research & Education & Ambassador of Canada, for making this happen ❤️🩷💙

I have just asked the Governor General to dissolve Parliament and call a federal election on April 28.

We need to build the strongest economy in the G7. We need to deal with President Trump’s tariffs. Canadians deserve a choice about who should lead that effort for our country.

Thank you, Mr. PM!

We are sorry about a recent error involving the misidentification of a social media handle. In an earlier post, we mistakenly referred to '@markjcarney.bsky.social' as the official handle of Mark Carney, when the correct handle is '@mark-carney.bsky.social.' Thank you for your understanding.

Childish behavior.

Just spit on the ground and be a grown-up.

Thank you for your understanding.

Average Albertan citizens with Teslas shouldn't have to be blamed for millionaires' decisions. Do better.

Albertans, the controversy surrounding Trump and Elon Musk may stir strong feelings, prompting actions like spitting on or damaging Tesla vehicles. While these reactions are understandable, they are unacceptable. These cars belong to members of our community. Please be respectful.

Government is encouraging Albertans to be measles aware. A news release provided information including recommending the measles vaccine as highly effective in the prevention of infection and complications.
