A stronger downtown means a stronger city. I'm backing the CRL extension—no new taxes, more investment, a vibrant city. Let’s get the Downtown Action Plan funded. www.edmontonchamber.com/CRL #YEG #Edmonton @edmontonchamber.bsky.social

MP's will continue debating Bill C-5 this week, dubbed the One Canadian Economy Act. It's a big move aimed at streamlining interprovincial trade and accelerating "nation-building" projects. It's time for the provinces to follow suit and drop remaining barriers. #Canada #BillC5 #Trade #Infrastructure

Happy new year! I’m grateful to have supported the #Edmonton business community in 2024. It was a year of significant change, personal / professional growth, making connections, and city building. I’m excited to continue this work in 2025—growing, learning, and connecting to make a difference.

Great to hear @ABDanielleSmith on @RyanJespersen today, discussing her intent to tackle the $19M annual shortfall in Grants in Place of Taxes in #Edmonton. We've been advocating for @YourAlberta to take action, and we’re hopeful for concrete solutions in Budget 2025. #AbPoli

Yesterday, Government of Canada tabled the 2024 Fall Economic Statement, revealing a $61.9 billion deficit - +50% increase from since Budget 2024. Uncontrolled spending, ongoing deficits threaten Canada’s long-term economic prosperity. Read Edmonton Chamber’s statement. shorturl.at/zc6Ry
