$77 MILLION CUT FROM AISH?!

This isn’t just numbers on a spreadsheet—this is people’s rent, food, survival. Disabled Albertans already fight for scraps, and now the gov wants to take even that? Absolutely shameful. Do better. #AISH #Ableg #AlbertaBudget

The 2025 provincial budget includes several investments in transit, housing, and social programs, but also presents notable funding gaps and cuts in critical areas, including social assistance and housing.

9/9 Budget allocates $25M for border security initiatives - including increased patrols along Alberta-Montana border - responding directly to concerns Trump cited as justification for tariffs.

8/9 Good news for municipalities: province restoring grants in lieu of taxes on govt properties. Edmonton, as provincial capital, benefits most as funding returns to 75% in 2025-26 and 100% the following year.
#AlbertaBudget #MunicipalFunding #AlbertaPolitics

7/9 Provincial debt projected to reach $83B by end of 2025-26. Alberta doubles contingency fund to $4B to cover potential tariff impacts, wildfires, and public sector wage increases.

6/9 First deficit budget since early pandemic. Fiscal challenge stems largely from oil revenue drop - down $4.4B from previous forecast - with WTI crude now estimated at just $68 US per barrel.

5/9 Not all tax relief: Property taxes for education increasing. Calgary residents face average $239 hike, while Edmontonians will pay about $92 more due to lower property values in the capital.

4/9 Amid uncertainty, govt delivers on Premier Smith's election promise: new 8% tax rate on income under $60K. This cut saves Albertans up to $750 but costs provincial coffers $1.2B in coming fiscal year.
#AlbertaBudget #TaxCut #AlbertaPolitics

3/9 Budget outlines three scenarios with grimmer forecasts showing $3.5B revenue loss in 2025-26. Officials project potential loss of 90,000 jobs over next three years if worst-case tariff scenario materializes.
