The National Telegraph interviewed Wexit Communications Director on what advocating for an Independent Alberta means for him, as a millennial. As a proud Albertan, Bell attributes his Alberta-First messaging to the exploitive nature of the Federation, and of federalism, which he states will not change regardless of who forms the government.
Clark: “The Alberta indigenous opportunities Corporation, which is just grants and loan guarantees, have come forward for private enterprise. This is just expanding it to the indigenous community. That is not an obligation of our provincial government, and the fact that [Premier Kenney] doing it is scaring the crap out of the people in Ottawa right now.”
In his 17 years in the oil and gas industry, Chris states, “owned a lot of stuff,” but he never felt fulfilled, and helping victims of abuse gave him a purpose. According to a Stats Canada report, 621 of every 100,000 women in Alberta, aged 15 and older, experienced intimate partner violence between 2006-2017. That’s above the national average of 487 per 100,000 women. For men, the trend is also concerning, at 174 of every 100,000 persons, also above the national average of 134 per 100,000.
Rather than speaking to Scheer’s family’s struggles in his early years, he spent the bulk of the campaign either deflecting on same-sex marriage and abortion or attacking Trudeau’s record. The mudslinging brought out the worst of our representatives and polarized the general electorate further.
In the aftermath of Scheer’s, Conservative members will revert to campaign mode to select a new leader.
In a TNT Exclusive with local MP David Yurdiga, we discussed the effects the project would have on residents and what it means for Canada’s energy sector, moving forward.
The halt will cause a loss of 230 jobs involved in the wind farm’s construction, and $45 million was forgone in yearly municipal taxes, community contributions, and landowner fees.
The National Telegraph spoke to Mr. Yurdiga on western alienation and the Wexit movement, to better understand, as an elected official in Alberta serving in a federal capacity, what his feelings on the issue are.
Scheer’s opponents cite several factors for the general queasiness. Some blame his leadership style, which funnelled downward to his lacklustre campaign. Others note his views on abortion and absence from Pride Parades as concerning. Further to the east, it was his lack of appeal amongst Quebec voters.
Sawchuck: “If you just look at the agenda for the meeting, the study tours that are available usually go out and they look at infrastructure for that city. Does it provide relevance or is it worthwhile to again to our municipality, and do we get some benefit from that? And overwhelmingly our council said no.”
A well written report. Thanks for your effort. It raises awareness.
