Here is her response
Sorry for the late response, here is a message from Sarah:
"The federal government has announced support for the Town of Banff to address housing issues through the housing accelerator fund. It is definitely more complicated with Banff being in a National Park and Parks Canada is responsible for managing the land that the town sits on. However, the residents of Banff are still Albertans and as such the province does have a role to play in ensuring their needs are addressed.
Housing, and the provision of affordable housing, is up to all three levels of government to address. It is a perfect example of an issue that all levels of government should collaborate on to address. In Banff, we're seeing both the municipal and federal governments step up, but the provincial government has yet to do so. As MLA for Banff-Kananaskis, I just want more affordable housing built in the Bow Valley. In all of the communities in the Bow Valley from Mini Thni to Banff and every community in between.
I did also work with Blake Richards, our MP, to secure funding for Banff from the federal program. My approach to address this crisis situation is to work on all fronts."
Take care,

I acknowledge, with deep respect and gratitude, the many generations of stewards that came before me that enable me to live, work, and play where I do. The Banff-Kananaskis riding sits in Treaty 7 Territory. In the spirit of respect and truth, I honour the Treaty 7 Nations and oral practices of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda) – comprised of the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney First Nations – as well as the Tsuut'ina First Nation and the Blackfoot Confederacy comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, Kainai. We acknowledge that this territory is home Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3. I acknowledge all Nations who live, work, and play here, help us steward this land, and honour and celebrate this place. We are all treaty people.
More good points re separation.

A few days ago, I had a discussion with a widely respected western businessman, and good friend, about the current independence movement in Alberta and Saskatchewan. I was intrigued by his thoughts about how we might advance the goal of greater western autonomy at this time in our history.
We agreed that, despite the gallant efforts of many, for far too many years, the flame for fairness has been repeatedly ignored and snuffed out, again and again. The harsh reality is, if an insufficient number of westerners don’t take the issue of independence seriously, why should eastern Canadians?
Unsurprisingly my savvy friend raised a couple of points during our conversation that I have been gnawing on since. The first was nothing new, although for at least two reasons it has become more time sensitive.
First is the disastrous state of Canada and the fact that the federal Liberal government continues to chart a ...

Canada Can't Be Fixed. Alberta Needs to Chart Its Own Course
JEFFREY RATH:
Friends, I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it. Alberta’s future does not lie within a broken, dysfunctional Canada. It lies in our own hands, building an independent Alberta, run by Albertans, for Albertans.
I had the privilege of addressing a room full of hardworking, freedom-loving Albertans recently. If you missed it, I want you to hear exactly what I told them. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the time for polite conversations is long gone.
The Truth They Don’t Want You to Hear
For over 100 years, Alberta has been treated like Ottawa’s colony. We’ve been stripped of wealth, muzzled by regulation, and told to sit quietly while Eastern politicians decide our fate. Meanwhile, our resources bankroll Quebec’s surpluses and our families pay the price with higher taxes, unemployment, and lost opportunities.
Ottawa’s latest trick? Universal Basic Income to create a nation of dependent voters. Lower the voting age ...
