The Alberta advantage - 4.3 billion surplus

Alberta is lucky to have someone that is actually representing the working folk, the centre of reality.

Unemployment is up, wages are dropping, and the UCP wages war on organized labour in both the public and private sectors. Is that the reality you are referring to ?

Sorry we cannot except this. Its misrepresentation of the facts and based only on the need for the far left to control everyone..
Alberta is extremely happy with Smith. They hated the NDP, as the country does now.
Alberta needs to look after itself, as it has a fighting chance to survive where the rest of canada is going.
Lets not contribute to that.

Alberta is extremely happy with Smith. They hated the NDP, as the country does now.

In the election last year the NDP took 44% of the popular vote, compared to the UCP's 53%. Hardly decisive enough to be making sweeping claims such as yours. The most recent update at 338Canada, over three months old now, puts the split pretty close to that with 52% to 43% in favor of the UCP. And I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that has changed in favour of the NDP even more today, given that Ms. Smith is pretty consistent in regularly producing bozo eruptions.

According to Angus Reid polling Danielle Smith approval has remained consistent throughout her tenure

What information, data do you have to support your statements above? Maybe just , "hardly decisive enough to be making sweeping claims about her and her government".
Alberta is more happy with smith as the last election clearly pointed out, so that covers off any ones observation of that. However your constantly making statements with zero support, why?
The people are trying to move their province in a positive direction, thats exactly why the NDP is not in power.

The NDP is one giant antisemitic bozo eruption. They are hot garbage. If it weren't for the commie for brains in Edmonton and the evil antisemitic unions who support them the NDP in Alberta would be in the sewer, where they belong. So evil, so awful, and such horrid disgusting people.

More accurately, enough Albertans were happy with Ms. Smith to get her elected, it's hardly the clean sweep you are suggesting.

The whole of Canada is not without problems right now, but it does seem that they are worse in Alberta on many counts. Highest unemployment rate outside the Maritimes, highest inflation rate in the country, health system imploding, wages dropping, the list goes on. This is not hidden information, one only needs the willingness to look.

And thankfully there are more than enough to keep the evil and disgusting NDP out of power, as they are a disease.

Nope.

Highest unemployment rate outside the Maritimes,

Nope. Lies.

highest inflation rate in the country,

Nope. Lies.

health system imploding, wages dteropping,

Nope. More lies.

the list goes on.

The list of lies goes on.

This is not hidden information, one only needs the willingness to look.

And if by some miracle the evil antisemitic and disgusting NDP had seized power, the same "news" outlets would say that unemployment is low, inflation is low, and health care is "great". Just constant lying, that's the NDP way. Just the worst and most evil people in Canada.

No one actually needs the willingness to ignore what our Albertan friends and relatives are telling us, and instead look only for the biased "information" presented in BC's subjective and left-leading media. That province is way ahead of us in digging themselves out from under the yoke of tax-and-spend public policies imposed by the globalist-socialist alliance still trying to turn Canadians against our own best interests.

Go Alberta!

This video of smith talking with some actually respect about our "transition" to cleaning energy.
Outstanding, and good for her to be at least entertaining the decision and setting policy with some really life achievable plans.
I spend a lot of time in Europe and listen to many other politicians speaking of being more realistic and actually building a model for the transition. However here in canada, we have the Liberals. A group with absolutely zero understanding, ability to make anything work. They have one motive, using this climate movement and concern as a virtue signalling opportunity and finding support for their parties.
Seriously, the country needs more of Pierre and Smith.
Trudeau has been well told by every manufacturer, every expert, every energy supplier that his parties mandates and virtue signalling is not achievable, yet.....

Alberta ends fiscal year with $4.3B surplus
Total revenue was $74.7B, $4.1B more than was estimated in 2023 budget

The Alberta government ended its fiscal year on March 31 with a $4.3 billion surplus despite having to pay $3 billion in contingency costs due to the province's worst fire season on record.

The province released its final 2023-24 financial year-end report on Thursday.

Finance Minister Nate Horner defended the government's current plan to use surplus cash to pay off debt while saving some of it into the Heritage Fund, while Albertans continue to grapple with affordability issues. He noted that Albertans don't pay provincial sales tax.

"It's easy for some governments to turn to taxes and want to raise taxes to expand services and spending," Horner said. "We're committed to not doing that. So that means that we have to be prudent in how we budget and forecast."

Horner added that dealing with debt improves the cost of borrowing which he says will eventually benefit all Albertans.

"This is about sustainability and being stable going forward."

Results in the report are compared to the projections listed in the budget that was released last February.

Total revenue was $74.7 billion, $4.1 billion more than was estimated in the 2023 budget. Total expense was $70.4 billion, an increase of $2.1 billion over estimates.

Can we get the UCP in Alberta to run BC as well? How are these guys doing so well and we in BC are sucking so hard???

[kiabird]

people are still moving to Alberta for higher wages and lower mortgage payments

Just like in the mid-80s.
Couldn't find roofers, carpenters here if you held a flashlight.

Just listened to a recent press conference involving media and the Alberta government. Its amazing seeing a group of people in Smiths government speak naturally with respect, integrity and honesty like they do. Its refreshing. But, then how the did Global and the CBC become so ignorant to them. Not talking about this one great conference Smiths government gave here, but the overall attitude of them towards all opposition to this current Niberalism. Their attitudes, their questions are all to clearly based on some other source and programmed beliefs and they bring it forward in every single interview we see today through out our country.
Global and CBC deserve every bit of backlash they receive.
