Five years ago, I announced the launch of Project Confederation on Danielle Smith’s CHQR 770 radio show.

That interview changed my life forever.

Why are Canadians paying more for dairy, poultry, and eggs while missing out on trade opportunities?

The stage is set for another major showdown between Alberta and Ottawa over the contentious Impact Assessment Act (IAA), as Premier Danielle Smith gears up for another legal battle with the federal government.

Our Executive Director, Josh Andrus, has been engaging with a lot of media recently, to address critical challenges and opportunities facing Canada. 

The Notwithstanding Clause is back in the spotlight.

Despite what you may have heard, the Notwithstanding Clause is not unconstitutional. 

In fact, it is a core element of the Canadian constitution and has been since the modern constitution was agreed upon in 1982.

As you probably now know, the managers of the Canada Pension Plan - the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board - are coming to Alberta this week to tell Albertans how amazing the CPP is.

The CPP has been spending god-knows-how-much money advertising the CPP on TV, radio, online, and more, and now they're coming to Calgary tomorrow and Edmonton on Wednesday to do the same.

We've been encouraging our supporters to attend the event since the events were first announced, but we've been stymied by a series of interesting "coincidences".

As the Liberals' electoral prospects plummet, their insistence on downplaying the impact of their proposed emissions cap becomes increasingly untenable. 

But rationality seems to have left Ottawa long ago. 

Surprise, surprise.

Late last month, we had the privilege of hosting an event with Éric Duhaime, the leader of Quebec's Conservative Party. 

During the course of the evening, it became evident that Alberta and Quebec share common ground in our collective fight against federal overreach. 

The concept of provincial jurisdiction lies at the heart of Canadian democracy, ensuring that diverse regions with unique aspirations have a voice in governance.

Alberta needs more power.

On Saturday, the coldest night Albertans have experienced in decades, a critical emergency alert was issued by the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) - cautioning Albertans about potential rotating power outages due to high power demand, and urging them to reduce their electricity usage.

As we hurtle towards the New Year, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and engagement throughout the last year. 

If you read our email from last week, you know it was a long one.

But that's because we accomplished a lot!

We faced challenges together.

We celebrated victories together.

We initiated conversations and helped shift the window of what is politically possible.

We showed resilience.
