Red Deer South MLA, Jason Stephan, was recently quoted from a debate amongst Alberta’s MLAs on ratifying the referendum results, where 62 per cent of those Albertans who voted want the removal of equalization payments from the Constitution, as saying “equalization was socialism” which he described as “the enemy of self-realization.”

The federal PC party is in shambles. Erin O’Toole is not the guy to lead the party to victory over the corrupt Trudeau Liberal party. The PC party has some very strong women. I think it is time for a woman to lead the party and get rid of the fake feminist Trudeau. Rona Ambrose comes to mind but there are many other strong PC women. Senator Denise Batters is right. A leadership review should be held ASAP.

In response to Adriana LaGrange’s recent statement about creating a “Students First Act,” I have some serious concerns.

I think that it is time that the old boys club of politicians to have their behaviours corrected by their employers: The taxpayers.

We need more clarity from the Alberta government on safety concerns for participating teachers and students – Red Deer Advocate article ‘Safety concerns’ for schools involved in pilot .

As I set out for my dog walk, the early morning was unfolding like a beautiful postcard. The breeze was brisk, the temperature was cool, the geese were floating just off shore, a beautiful day at the lake.

Red Deer South MLA Jason Stephan recently pointed the finger at AHS for their failure to provide and sustain sufficient ICU beds for Albertans, and then proceeded to compare American hospital’s ICU capacity and the costs that AHS incur to support what we do have.
