Brian Jean Endorses Len Thom for Sherwood Park

The United Conservative Party has opened the nomination contest in Sherwood Park to select their candidate for the 2019 Spring election. Len Thom was the PC party president during the unity talks. His integrity was an important part of building trust between the two...

The Need for Standards for Candidates

In recent days our party has had to take steps to disqualify or disassociate from certain nomination contestants. Additionally there has been significant media attention on the issue of the supporters and associates of nomination contestants including support from...

Debating the Secret Agents of Change

Decades ago I was on my high school debating team. Back then education was about learning to think for yourself. Not anymore. The NDP and ATA have decided that students should become "agents of change". Children will be taught what change is needed and given a push to...

Before you dig, call this number…

Today's decision by FCA on the Trans Mountain expansion is disappointing. The federal government must now choose whether to re-do the consultation process with Indigenous stakeholders (and have the NEB reconsider the impact on marine shipping) or file an appeal to the...

Is the Carbon Tax Partnership Over?

The Poll that Matters is in 2019

The NDP and Equivalencies

A few days ago I tweeted about speed limits on the Sherwood Park freeway. Part of the freeway is legally provincial highway 100, but there are no signs indicating this. On my website and social media I referred to the unsigned highway as "secret". The NDP and their...

Nanny State Speed Limits on a Secret Highway

Have you noticed that the speed limits on the Sherwood Park Freeway west of the Henday are ridiculously low? Going eastbound into the Park the speed limit is 80 kph. Westbound the limit is 70 and 80 kph until you get into Edmonton when the speed limit goes to 100 kph...

Time to Work Together

A friend of mine who is now an MP used to have distinct teams of door knockers when he ran for a seat in Ottawa. Wildrose supporters one day.  PC supporters the next. In 2015 when I ran federally our campaign had no such separation. I remember one evening I was out...
