Here’s a confession. I get emotional when I vote. I don’t break down and cry, but I feel it inside. I feel proud. I feel lucky. I feel like the leaders want to know what I believe.

Today, I believe that Alberta is the strongest jurisdiction in North America and one of the best economies in the world. I also believe that the dramatic influx of people here will see that this is an excellent place to live.

What I hope, is different. I hope that things will stay the same, but that we’ll trade in the buzz word “change” for the more appropriate “innovation.” I hope that we’ll fearlessly move forward with alternatives geared for tomorrow.

I’m a big fan of fiscal conservatism. We don’t need people who can spend more money. We need people who can revolutionize the thought process. New thinking… isn’t that what this is about?
