Premier Smith emphasized that today, on Black Ribbon Day, we take a moment to remember the numerous victims of both Nazism and Communism, including families separated, communities devastated, and millions who never experienced freedom again.

These harsh ideologies have left lasting impacts on generations, and we must consistently remember their lessons. Alberta expresses support for all those who continue to uphold democracy, human rights, and freedom against oppression.

Freedom is not guaranteed; it requires ongoing defense.
