In federal politics, nothing is more useful to a political party then a charismatic leader. Baby kissing and handshaking are two skills that could determine your electoral success more than your platform or long-term policy goals. That being said, there is a point where people need substance behind style, and the intrepid new Liberal leader Justin Trudeau is revealing rapidly that there is little substance to be found in him… […]

Well it has been two weeks since the recount in which I found out that my two days as a Morinville Councillor were over. I was very disappointed when I realized during the recount that I had lost my spot, but I also believe that things happen for a reason. Life goes on and so will I. I’m already pursuing some new areas of interest that will add to my growing list of service to Morinville… […]

Last weekend the Town had that Reuse it or Loose it thing at the ball diamonds. That’s where folks can recycle stuff. Since everybody’s so fired up about recycling, I figured I’d recycle my column from last Halloween. […]

Pat Martin, the outspoken Manitoban New Democrat MP, has recently brought the question of MP ethics and fundraising disclosure back to the forefront of national political discourse with the release of the disclosed list of donors to his legal defence fund that was set up following defamation charges laid against him by the Edmonton telemarketing firm RackNine over a year ago… […]
