Our current MP (LaVar Payne) "inherited" the job from Monte Solberg when he retired suddenly, and because of Membership rules, there was a very LIMITED POOL of talent in that Party to choose a new Candidate.<br /><br />Now we seem to be stuck with LaVar, known for his Heckling (MacLeans Mag. Oct 2010) and his ineffective representation of our Region. LaVar often says he doesn't "know any more than we do" about issues raised in his Town Halls - and has pretty much lied to Municipalities and Local Governments as they applied for Stimulus and other Monies from the Feds.<br />For Norm, it is just NOT GOOD ENOUGH - and as a Past RCMP, NATO Police Officer in Bosnia/Croatia. past Police Chief and two term Mayor of Medicine Hat - Norm has taken a Leave without Pay from the Mayoralty Chair and is stepping up to be our Member of Parliament! <br />The political elites of the PC (Provincial) and Harper Conservatives (Federally, who have been denied a Nomination to replace LaVar) are waking up - Norm Boucher is a popular, honest, independent fellow - guess you could call him a "straight shooter." He's passionate about all of the communities in our Riding - and he's running to WIN!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866932391987286383noreply@blogger.com
