Budget 2026 predicts a $9.4B deficit, confirming Alberta’s spending problem.  The #UCP government has far overspent its budget projections every year that Danielle Smith has been premier. Her government needs to find $6.9B in cuts to balance the budget by 2028/29. #ABgov #ABpoli #deficit #debt

President Trump wants oil at $50 / barrel. That price would cause a roughly $15 billion hole in Alberta's annual budget that would be hard to fill. #ABpoli #Trump #oil

David Leis speaks with Dan McTeague (Canadians for Affordable Energy) on Canada’s overreliance on the U.S. for oil sales. To get full value for Canadian energy, market access must be a national priority. See the Counter at https://frontiercentre.org/the-cost-of-discount-oil-and-gas/ #oilandgas

What do you think?  Do elections encourage governments to run deficits rather than control spending? Let us know in the comments or at https://fcpp.org/category/opinion-polls/

This country surely could be the richest, freest nation in the world. Our ace card is natural resources.  Government policy seems to be the only block.  Learn how much we lose on oil and gas at https://fcpp.org/the-cost-of-discount-oil-and-gas/

The Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation of northern Alberta is looking for 82 children who went to St. Francis Xavier Residential School between 1907 and 1962. However, 62 are in known burial sites. The true headline should be, “Searchers find possible graves in cemeteries.” Your tax dollars at work. #cdnpoli

The new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (formerly GST credit) offers a one-time top-up and a 25% boost for five years—but many modest-income families won’t qualify. Exempting the first $25,000 of income would be better. #CanadaGroceriesBenefit #GSTCredit #CostOfLiving #TaxRelief #Groceries

In collective bargaining, the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation pushed for solutions to classroom complexity. Now, the provincial government must put $20 million per year into a class complexity fund for small schools. Schools with more than 150 must hire a special teacher. #skpoli #education

Alberta projects a $9.4B deficit in 2026-27. In the '90s, Premier Ralph Klein trimmed program expenses ~21% and turned a $3.4B deficit into a $1.1B surplus. He asked each department to present 20% to 40% cut scenarios. The Smith #UCP government needs the Klein approach. #ABpoli #ABbudget

Frontier Centre analyst Conrad Eder argues deficits have become Canada’s only bipartisan policy. Liberal, NDP and Conservative governments all overspend because voters reward benefits today and ignore debt tomorrow.  https://frontiercentre.org/

Good news for your budget! 🧡 From 1 April, Ofgem’s energy price cap drops 7%, meaning a typical household could save around £117 a year, that’s roughly £10 a month. Small changes like this can make a big difference for your financial wellness. #EnergyBills #EnergyPriceCap #CostOfLiving

To pay for his foreign war of choice, Trump just proposed even more cuts to food assistance, housing, and health care. President Trump’s budget puts working families last.
