“Lets Take OUR Province Back”

The Inconvenient Truth

Hopefully you noticed that my website and my Linkedin page haven’t been updated for a few days. I am currently working for a client as a Project Manager. This is a major initiative to build a Carbon Trunk Line. One that will take carbon from industrial facilities, and move the bi-product to older oil fields which will then be injected downhole for enhanced oil recovery. This project has the potential of increasing outputs of the fields by 30%.

Lest We Forget - Please Join Me at the Onoway high school today at 10:45 am, and the legion to follow

MOMENT OF SILENCE

I am not am not a veteran. I have never had to hold a firearm, and fire it in anger, or self defence at another person. I have never had to say good bye to friends and family, not knowing if I would have the chance to see them again. I have never had to endure hardships, or imaginable conditions with comrades in arms in a foreign land. I have never had to deal with a huge loss or suffering that those in our military, or support services deal with on a daily basis. I have never had to put my life on the line to protect our countries ideals, values, or defend our allies from their enemies.

For that luxury, freedom, and safety that my family and I can enjoy, I am eternally grateful to those brave and honourable souls that have put themselves in harms way, and to those families that have given their sons and daughters to serve our country. My family and I will take our moment of silence, we will wear our poppies, but more importantly, we remind each other every time we see a soldier, or an aircraft overhead, that we are truly fortunate, and grateful.

Please join me at the Onoway high school today at 10:45 am, and the legion to follow.

Wrong Side of the looking Glass

Wrong Side of the looking Glass


Through the looking glass, the concept of seeing your reality from an alternate perspective.

By Shane Getson

As a kid, the adventure of Alice was neat.  The play on words, the alternate meanings, and strange characters that she met as she went on her journey and the adventure to make it home.

Q. Why do you think you can make a difference in politics?


I was asked this very valid question recently, and my answer was that “I was not a politician, I am a
projects guy, and we are wired different.  Projects people are the only group that knowingly and willingly start their first day of work so that they can work themselves out of a job.”
