I wasn’t sure if I wanted to broach this topic, but given the number of questions I’ve been receiving in the constituency, out on the road, and when I’m speaking with folks that are visiting, I felt compelled this morning. The federal election is on the 28th of April....

I like spring; I always have and always will. It is that time of year when we round the corner out of the darkness and cold into light and hope. Easter is the most holy time of year for most of us. The Easter bunny, little kids on egg and chocolate hunts, is the time...

There is always a battle between good and evil. Between the “you should” and “you should not”. Between “you are” and “you are not”. Let’s also not forget the famous “you are not enough”. Those crowds have been in full swing for the last several weeks, now. Honestly,...

The last time I had an article in the paper was August 25. I had touched on our “Alberta Culture” and that I was the legislator selected by CSG Midwest to take their legislative leadership training course held by the Bowhay Institute at the University of...

I’m off again, heading down to the USA, Madison, Wisconsin, to take some training from the Bowhay Institute for Legislative Leadership Development. Quite the honor, as typically only one legislator is selected from the member states and provinces each year. With...

Janet Jackson had a hot song with this title, and I hate to say it when I read some of the accusatory quips or demands on social media, that song runs through my head. It never fails to amaze me how folks who would not say boo in person are fearless and, many times,...
