There can be tougher days in diplomacy, but thanks to the Albertans who’ve supported keeping American wine and spirits on their shelves, yesterday wasn’t one of them.

CG Fleckner had a wonderful time at a Top Drop tasting in Calgary that showcased some great wines from California, Washington, Oregon, and New York.

Thank you, Alberta, for your continued patronage of American wine producers (many of whom are small, independent, and family-owned); you’ve kept us cheersing and breaking bread together.

We were treated to a surprise this morning: Premier Danielle Smith wished the United States a happy 250th birthday in the Alberta legislature!

Thank you, Premier, for recognizing this historic milestone, and the ongoing partnership the United States and Alberta have built together.

If you're looking to both fly a plane and perform a tracheotomy before lunch, we know a place 😎

CG Fleckner caught a glimpse of aviation and nursing simulators during an impressive tour of Mount Royal University this morning, and learned how technologies like these allow students some hands-on experience without stepping off campus.

Thank you, MRU, for demonstrating these innovations in education and more—we had a great visit!

We love visiting and learning about Edmonton! This week, we had a chance to:

🏒Visit with Mayor Andrew Knack to hear about his vision for the city (and love of the Oilers);
💡Meet with Alberta's Industrial Heartland Association, which helps facilitate investment in Canada’s largest hydrocarbon processing region;
🤝Discuss opportunities to grow both of our economies with Edmonton Global and the Edmonton Chamber; and
✈️Swing by Edmonton International Airport to visit our Customs and Border Protection officers, who told us about their efforts to keep our countries safe.

Thank you for your hospitality, Edmonton—and until next time!

We were honored to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Kapyong with a ceremony and presentation by Dr. David Jay Bercuson at The Military Museums last night.

The 2nd Battalion of Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry demonstrated extraordinary heroism during this important episode of the Korean War and was later recognized by President Harry Truman with a United States Presidential Unit Citation.

The Battle of Kapyong remains an example of the history, values, and ties our two countries share.
