We will maintain the lowest and most competitive corporate tax rate in the country and we will invest in new job-creation tax credits and other measures to create more good–paying jobs.
Todd Hirsch likes our plan. Danielle Smith does not.
I know who I’d rather be aligned with.

We will invest in education, hiring 4,000 more teachers, 3,000 more educational assistants. We know today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders and they deserve better.
And we can do all of this and so much more by asking profitable corporations to pay just a little more.

We will invest in healthcare, ensuring Albertans that need a doctor, get a doctor, free of charge.
We'll launch the largest recruitment campaign in Alberta history, relying on signing bonuses, better training and the creation of more post-secondary spaces.

We will freeze personal income taxes because we know Alberta families have been through so much the past few years.
We will eliminate taxes for a majority of small businesses because we know they are at the very heart of our communities. 🧵

Ok, now it’s the UCP’s turn to do the same ….

I was honoured tonight to whole-heartedly endorse to be the next Premier of Alberta.
Her economic plan makes sense. Her integrity is what this province needs. Our future, our economy and our global reputation is at stake.

It's a great plan that I support.
You don't build a strong economy simply by cutting tax -- you do it by INVESTING in our education and our people, AND KEEPING THE LOWEST CORPORATE TAX RATE in the country.

Hirsch: "This plan makes a long-term investment in our economy and jobs by committing to net-zero carbon targets. Not only will this attract investment, the cost of doing nothing is massive.
We have to avoid future economic and environmental catastrophes."

This is for mechanic shops, family farms, corner stores and all local Alberta small businesses who are trying to get ahead.
Let's build a better future for entrepreneurs!

30 physicians from High River, Danielle Smith's hometown, signed an open letter on the UCP’s failures to support family doctors in rural Alberta.
This crisis demands action. Today, NDP's visited High River to share our plan for better health care, across the province.

My heart goes out to more than 17,000 Albertans evacuated from their homes due to wildfires.
I’m so grateful to the firefighters and first responders keeping Albertans safe.
Please be prepared, make a plan and pay attention to emergency alerts.
We will get through this.

This is for Albertans who get up every day and do it themselves, not just for themselves but for their families and their communities.
The self-starters, the go-getters and the “never give ups”.
