The Dunn House model combines housing with health care for those who need it most. It works and we’re expanding it — with a third location in Toronto.

Screenshot of an article from CityNews. The headline reads: Toronto hospital to greatly expand permanent housing program that reduces ER visits.

The UCP designed this referendum to divide Alberta. Let's choose something better. Vote NO to the 9. And vote to Remain in Canada. Let's build a vision together.

"As I've been meeting with many community leaders across the province, it's clear that this whole referendum is about one side of the equation. It's not about building Alberta, it’s not about the economy, it's definitely not about the future of our eastern slopes and Rocky Mountains, and it's definitely not about bringing Albertans together. It's about distraction and division. It's about taking the easiest, laziest and most boring narrative in politics (“Everything is someone else's fault!”) and turning it into an agenda to do nothing productive. Frankly, it's pathetic. Because that’s the thing, we're are all legitimately worried about healthcare, affordability, jobs, and the future of our communities. Let's send a clear message on October 19th. Enough is enough. Vote NO. Vote Remain. Let's build a different vision." Bradley Lafortune Executive Director, Public Interest Alberta

Seems relevant: Canada is creating jobs at a rate that is roughly 4x that in the United States.

Line chart titled "The pace of job growth in Canada has outpaced job growth in the United States" showing cumulative percent change in employment since December 2024 for Canada and the United States. Canada's employment has grown 1.34% while US employment has increased just 0.34%, meaning Canadian job growth has outpaced the United States by nearly four to one. Canada's employment growth accelerated sharply from 0.98% in June 2026 to 1.34% in July 2026, the highest rate in the period shown, while US employment growth has remained relatively stable between 0.3% and 0.36% from April through July 2026.
