Carney Comes to Alberta, Talks Housing, Rides a Sprayer, Hears From Separatists
Carney and Smith are expected to outline a new provincial housing program as the federal government pushes to expand affordable homebuilding.
- On Wednesday, July 29, 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney joined Alberta Premier Danielle Smith in Red Deer, Alta., to tour a housing site and announce new measures to accelerate homebuilding in the province.
- Previously, Carney and Smith held a signing ceremony in Calgary on May 15, 2026, as housing remains a priority for the federal government's development agenda.
- This initiative builds on federal efforts announced on Tuesday, when Ottawa committed to work with the Northwest Territories government to build at least 560 affordable housing units.
- Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon announced a major investment to renew the passenger locomotive fleet in Montreal, a project designed to strengthen connections across Canada.
- While Carney focuses on housing, Conservative MP Kelly McCauley served notice last week calling for an urgent investigation into the Gordie Howe bridge deal and alleged misinformation provided to Canadians about it.
