Welcome




Welcome to the Edmonton-Leduc Constituency Liberal Party Association.

Get involved and take part in reinvigorating the Liberal party.  We are doing what Liberal do best, promoting policies and ideals that are fair for everyone and protect the rights of all individuals and those who can not sand up for themselves.  We continue to fight for a government that:

1) Is NOT the voice of special interst groups
2) Is finanically RESPONSIBLE and does not freely spend government revenues to buy votes and has put us in the most critical debt situation that our country has ever seen. Canadian Debt Clock
3) Bases policy and descision on facts and does not treat issues like the environment as obsacles of economic 'progress'.

Motivation

Much of my political motivation arises from major concerns regarding the current leadership of our country and complete lack of ethics and any real vision for the future.  For the first time in my life we have a government that I do not trust with our future.  This government promised transparency, fiscal responsibility and fairness.  What they have done has been the complete opposite.  We have a secretive government pushing policies that are expensive and do not benefit society.  I am fighting for a more accountable, ethical and fiscally prudent leadership.  I am fighting for families, children, seniors and our environment.  I believe in policy that are best for society and not for a select few.
