As Marvin Gaye would sing, "ain't it peculiar, peculiar as can be". Suddenly, you find yourself at home in a strange place and that strange place is right inside you. Kinda like the moral of my favourite movie, "The Wizard of Oz". Now, if only I can get shoes like that to wear with my leather jacket....hmmmm....there really would be no place like home!
Evidently, the cosmos have been brewing a special mix for 2008 cuz I am gonna be some kinda busy! First up will be the Provincial election in Alberta, Canada. I am proudly representing the Alberta Liberals in Calgary-West. I strongly believe that Alberta must become more transparent in its government and thereby become more accountable to the people.
It is vitally important for Albertans to become fully engaged in the wonderful democracy that makes our country strong. And, it is equally important for Canada to have a strong and engaged Alberta.
With great wealth comes great responsibility. Wealth in human and natural resources. Wealth in free speech and religious practice. Wealth in health and education.
Good enough is not good enough. Canadians and Albertans must demand excellence and expect excellence from all levels of government.
