History - Made by Immediate. Made possible by The Heritage Fund

What was initially a modest $350 million surplus has now skyrocketed to an impressive $2.9 billion. In a first quarter fiscal update that was far from typical, what drove this sudden surplus and what are some of the challenges that come with it? Join us as we sit down with Alberta's Minister of Finance Nate Horner to dissect Alberta's surprising first quarter fiscal update. We'll discuss the driving forces behind this unexpected increase, including oil and gas prices and Alberta's rapid population growth, while also examining the dual-edged sword they represent—while more people mean higher income tax revenue, they also bring added pressure on health, education, and social services. In another compelling segment, we address the complexities of public sector compensation, which accounts for nearly half of Alberta's provincial budget, as well as how federal budgetary decisions may play a role in shaping Alberta's own budget. Labour Market Transfer Agreements (LMTAs) face significant challenges following the cessation of federal funding, affecting key programs like the Canada-Alberta Jobs Grant.  Listen in as we highlight Alberta's ongoing economic forecast and fiscal strategy, including greater investment in schools and healthcare, the personal income tax cut initiative, the strategic management of the Heritage Fund, and how to prepare for and mitigate the impact of contingencies like natural disasters. Finally, we explore why Alberta continues to attract people despite economic pressures, focusing on its affordability and opportunities.

Premier Smith says restraint needed in Alberta budget 2024, vows to build Heritage Fund Alberta Premier Danielle Smith promised not to cut spending this year in a pre-budget speech on Wednesday but said the province still needs to show more restraint than previously expected.

Kathryn Tickell and The Darkening's new album, Cloud Horizons, fuses synthesizers with a bone flute, a sistrum – very old Egyptian instrument - and lyrics based on an inscription in Latin carved on a stone in Northumberland nearly 2 millennia ago.

ANC veteran and businessman Tokyo Sexwale has lamented statements by the South African Reserve Bank and the National treasury wherein they dismiss his claims about a Heritage Fund, called the White Spiritual Boy Trust as a scam. Sexwale says the fund was meant to operate through central banks across all jurisdictions via the Bank of International Settlements. He says it has security clearance from Interpol and local security structure. Sexwale says he was appointed as a joint mandate holder of the trust on the 7th of January 2019. Sexwale was briefing the media in Midrand north of Johannesburg.

Several years into my career as a recording artist and performer, I suddenly developed anxiety about being on-stage. I felt the need to write a song that could ground me and create a safe space for my thoughts to go while performing, and also to help me banish the negativity that used to be fuel for my songwriting, but which had, over time, become toxic. This song appears on my 2020 album, Heirloom. I feel that this recording is one of the most creative and climactic in my catalogue as a recording artist. I especially love the sound of rain that appears throughout, and the way the arrangement builds toward the end, wave upon wave of more, more, more. It feels cleansing and powerful. I also love how the instrumentation falls away in the first chorus, further underscoring the message, 'I don't need to feel everything'." Other Credit: Written and performed by Crissi Cochrane.
