Red Deer South MLA Jason Stephan urges Albertans to consider the Free Alberta Strategy

The Threat to Alberta by the Ottawa Liberal-NDP Axis
We live in perilous times. We must honestly confront the realities of our current circumstances. Canada is spending itself into oblivion, threatening to take Alberta down with it, adopting policies of economic self-destruction, undermining the capacity of Alberta businesses and families to provide for themselves and others.
We need to protect ourselves. Alberta businesses and families should not be subject to unprincipled Federal politicians, who have demonstrated that they will not hesitate to attack the livelihoods of Alberta individuals and families to further their political ambitions for power.
What Canada was, is less important than what Canada is, and what it is becoming. Alberta may need to act quickly and abandon this sinking ship while it is still able to.
The Liberal-NDP Axis is unveiling a reckless budget, accelerating towards fiscal destruction; on the same day, Rob Anderson, Danielle Smith, and I will be in a townhall sharing the Free Alberta Strategy.
This Strategy is a series of initiatives Alberta can implement today, without needing permission from Ottawa.
The less Alberta needs Ottawa, the more leverage Alberta has. But Ottawa will resist efforts to need them less. It reduces their power.
It is vital to have a Premier that is trusted by Albertans to defend our interests. But most Albertans do not trust the current Premier.
This Premier’s leadership, and his unprecedented efforts to full out campaign and control the results of his own job review have become a circus, a distraction, and a liability to the province and the party.
Kenney’s board would have never cancelled the biggest in person political party event in Alberta history if he was going to win the vote. They would have moved heaven and earth, adapted and celebrated, an unprecedented success in voter turnout to the event. He was going to lose.
Moving fundamental goalposts on a vote, after deadlines to participate, destroys trust and integrity of process. It provides opportunities to cheat.
Many do not trust the new process has not, or will not, be rigged. A result that is not seen as legitimate will divide.
If this Premier is not fair, or seen as fair, where his moral authority to demand Ottawa to be fair?
How can this Premier hold Ottawa accountable, if he is, or seen as, failing to accept accountability for himself?
Conservative principles are more important and more popular than this leader. If this leader believes what he says, that Alberta cannot risk another NDP government, then why is it in the best interests of our party and our province to go into an election seeking to win in spite of the leader? Isn’t that too much risk?
Trust is earned as one’s actions are consistent with one’s words.
The majority of Albertans want to see this Premier resign. Yet, this Premier labelled those who agree with him as “mainstream”; while those who disagree with him as extremists, lunatics, or threats undermining stability. The Premier is doing what he condemned the Prime Minister for doing. He is acting like Trudeau.
Trudeau sees this, and is emboldened by it, his Liberal-NDP Axis cementing his power up to 2025, with increased opportunity to plunder and attack Alberta businesses and families for political gain.
We must prepare. Our requirement for fairness is not one founded on anger, it is founded on principle.
We need to great self-reliance, to free ourselves from hostile interference, and insulate ourselves and our children from the looming trillion dollar plus fiscal train wreck. The Free Alberta Strategy describes some of these opportunities at www.freealbertastrategy.com.
Alberta is a land of opportunity; it is a land of freedom and prosperity. We must be vigilant to keep it that way.
Show your Alberta side. Buy Local. |
When the going gets tough, Albertans stick together. That’s why Alberta’s government is launching a new campaign to benefit hard-working Albertans.
Global uncertainty is threatening the livelihoods of hard-working Alberta farmers, ranchers, processors and their families. The ‘Buy Local’ campaign, recently launched by Alberta’s government, encourages consumers to eat, drink and buy local to show our unified support for the province’s agriculture and food industry.
The government’s ‘Buy Local’ campaign encourages consumers to buy products from Alberta’s hard-working farmers, ranchers and food processors that produce safe, nutritious food for Albertans, Canadians and the world.
“It’s time to let these hard-working Albertans know we have their back. Now, more than ever, we need to shop local and buy made-in-Alberta products. The next time you are grocery shopping or go out for dinner or a drink with your friends or family, support local to demonstrate your Alberta pride. We are pleased tariffs don’t impact the ag industry right now and will keep advocating for our ag industry.”
Alberta’s government supports consumer choice. We are providing tools to help folks easily identify Alberta- and Canadian-made foods and products. Choosing local products keeps Albertans’ hard-earned dollars in our province. Whether it is farm-fresh vegetables, potatoes, honey, craft beer, frozen food or our world-renowned beef, Alberta has an abundance of fresh foods produced right on our doorstep.
Quick facts
- This summer, Albertans can support local at more than 150 farmers’ markets across the province and meet the folks who make, bake and grow our food.
- In March 2023, the Alberta government launched the ‘Made in Alberta’ voluntary food and beverage labelling program to support local agriculture and food sectors.
- Through direct connections with processors, the program has created the momentum to continue expanding consumer awareness about the ‘Made in Alberta’ label to help shoppers quickly identify foods and beverages produced in our province.

Province to expand services provided by Alberta Sheriffs: New policing option for municipalities
Expanding municipal police service options |
Proposed amendments would help ensure Alberta’s evolving public safety needs are met while also giving municipalities more options for local policing.
As first announced with the introduction of the Public Safety Statutes Amendment Act, 2024, Alberta’s government is considering creating a new independent agency police service to assume the police-like duties currently performed by Alberta Sheriffs. If passed, Bill 49 would lay additional groundwork for the new police service.
Proposed amendments to the Police Act recognize the unique challenges faced by different communities and seek to empower local governments to adopt strategies that effectively respond to their specific safety concerns, enhancing overall public safety across the province.
If passed, Bill 49 would specify that the new agency would be a Crown corporation with an independent board of directors to oversee its day-to-day operations. The new agency would be operationally independent from the government, consistent with all police services in Alberta. Unlike the Alberta Sheriffs, officers in the new police service would be directly employed by the police service rather than by the government.
“With this bill, we are taking the necessary steps to address the unique public safety concerns in communities across Alberta. As we work towards creating an independent agency police service, we are providing an essential component of Alberta’s police framework for years to come. Our aim is for the new agency is to ensure that Albertans are safe in their communities and receive the best possible service when they need it most.”
Additional amendments would allow municipalities to select the new agency as their local police service once it becomes fully operational and the necessary standards, capacity and frameworks are in place. Alberta’s government is committed to ensuring the new agency works collaboratively with all police services to meet the province’s evolving public safety needs and improve law enforcement response times, particularly in rural communities. While the RCMP would remain the official provincial police service, municipalities would have a new option for their local policing needs.
Once established, the agency would strengthen Alberta’s existing policing model and complement the province’s current police services, which include the RCMP, Indigenous police services and municipal police. It would help fill gaps and ensure law enforcement resources are deployed efficiently across the province.
