Joined the old gang at The Strategists podcast to talk Alberta referendum, constituency work, the Calgary Stampede, and - most importantly - the annual allocation of (Canadian) flags provided to MPs. On YouTube or where podcasts are found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q-W2wkE8OE

Canada's diversifying exports, leading investment attraction, and building coast to coast to coast. More to do, but good progress. 👇 "Canadian economy set for best quarterly growth in >3 years"

The news from CPS is heartbreaking. Parker was loved by so many. Keeping those close to him, and his memory, in my thoughts during this unimaginably difficult time. Calgarians mourn today. Hug your kids extra hard. calgaryherald.com/news/parker-...

The Olympic Oval is the fastest ice on earth. It's also a community hub where Calgarians take their first skate, exercise and meet their heroes. Today, Governments of Canada and Alberta announced $52m to strengthen this institution and the athletes - new and elite - it supports.

"Democracy demands more than periodic voting. It requires ongoing cooperation with people we've failed to persuade." ☕📖 Weekend read: "losers' consent" meets "winners' restraint" - what each side owes the other in a democracy.

What Winners Owe Losers

A mandate to govern is not a licence to conquer.

Last Friday in Airdrie, I highlighted the increase to the Canada Child Benefit — more tax-free support to help parents with groceries, school supplies, clothes and child care. For nearly 500,000 Alberta families, that means more breathing room each month.

Everyone knows what the losing candidate owes democracy. Concede. Accept it. Move on. Let's talk about what the winner owes.

These past few days of Stampede have been nothing short of amazing! From the Calgary Confederation breakfast to events around the city, I'm so happy to see everyone out in full, celebrating what it means to be Western AND Canadian.

A big day at Contemporary Calgary. I was glad to speak alongside Ministers Marc Miller & Rebecca Alty, joined by provincial representatives & Calgary MP colleagues, as we announced up to $40M for phase 3 of the Centennial Planetarium Transformation Project through the Build Communities Strong Fund.

What an incredible day celebrating the groundbreaking of the National accessArts Centre’s new Accessible Arts Learning Campus. This project reflects the very best virtues of Canada: excellence, creativity, and inclusion, helping artists w/ disabilities thrive & strengthening Calgary’s arts community

Great to be in Innisfail to see Alberta’s energy future being built firsthand. I visited Enhance Energy’s Clive facility, announced over $19.4M for 13 Alberta clean energy projects at EQUS, and toured Deep Sky Alpha’s impressive carbon removal technology taking excess CO₂ out of the atmosphere.

Since being elected last April, I’ve written eight longer pieces about Alberta, Canada, government, Parliament - and what we can build together - at www.coreyhogan.ca 🧵

Everyday we are working together to make Canada a better place that works for all of us (see: Alberta-Canada MOU). Albertans are leaders in that work. Separatism talk undermines that. It divides, damages and distracts at a time when we need to be united.

Calgary MP says separation not a “risk-free conversation” - Red Deer Advocate

Corey Hogan said separation would be a job killer

Great to tour SAIT’s Centre for Innovation and Research in Unmanned Systems and the Aldred Centre welding labs yesterday. Impressive to see the applied research, hands-on training, and industry-standard technology helping prepare Alberta’s workforce.

Great to stop by the Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers Market today to highlight Canada’s new National Food Security Strategy—and I got to grab some local goodies while I was there! Supporting local producers and strengthening Canadian food production helps make good food more affordable for families.

Separatists want you to think the referendum is a cost-free way to pressure for the things Alberta wants. But 8 in 10 Calgary Chamber members already feel the debate's negative effects, and half would be likely to leave if Alberta votes to START the separation process.

Debating Alberta separation is not a no-risk proposition. The discussion divides people and drives away business. Calgary Chamber of Commerce members already feel the effects.

120 days a year, MPs walk through these doors on our way to the Chamber where we propose, debate and advocate for Canadians. A humbling responsibility. Glad to be back in Calgary after a productive session to continue the work at home. (Also, guess most of us are right-handed).

Apparently I was permanently banned from Putin’s Russian Federation yesterday.

That's a Shame Reaction

Alberta separatists tout secession as a way to take control. The reality is, a yes vote would mean a landlocked Alberta would be entering years of uncertain negotiations on everything from currency to passports to coastal access.

There's no brand like Canada's brand.

The Calgary Chamber - and the entire business community - is raising the alarm about continuing the conversation on separation. Separatist-driven uncertainty leads to "job losses, declining productivity and reductions in regional economic growth."

Alberta - and all of Canada - are set to boom in the coming years. Foreign direct investment in Canada is at its highest level in 18 years - and twice that of the next closest G7 country.

Alberta is at record oil production and the Canada-Alberta MOU brings people together on a common path for growth and environmental action.

The United States has a higher GDP than Canada, but the average Canadian is better off. As we grow wealth through new major projects and new trade agreements, let's continue to make sure we all benefit.

We’re building big again in Canada. Today I had the chance to speak with 200 business leaders, entrepreneurs, and risk-takers from across Ontario and Québec who are ready to seize this moment and build with us.
