I have had a relatively suprising young start with regards to advocacy for the betterment of the province of Alberta. I found myself raising the issues with Alberta's politicans that I have found effected myself and peers. I first brought up as concerns in grade 10 regarding the outcomes of highschool students. From my understanding in junior high, many individuals did well academically, then struggled for a variety of reasons at the highschool level and beyond. Students that could do well, that suddenly struggled must have a reason for doing so, and I bet on the educators and my highschool's full staff to be the ones that would understand what happened and what could be done to improve the lives of the students whose lives matter to them.   For whatever the reason might be, I have always felt that there is a strong stable progressive, and, conservative party in Alberta there to advocate on behalf of all Albertans, not just those whom are voted into power. This is the Albertan tradition, and will continue to be so far into the future. Alberta has a short history as a single region within Canada, at least under the branding of the Province of Alberta. With our regional status first honored roughly 100 years ago, Albertas set forth with the goal and ambition of providing the best place on earth to live for our constituents from across the province. Our job collectively is never truely done.  We maintain our collective interest in the well being of one another as defining us and the character that we share. We beleive in a place where prosperity is common place, and a province that truely works on behalf of all Albertans to deliver the sustainable improvements and increased opportunity that comes from working together to win as a whole province, the opportunities that can only come from working together, through shared compromise on what we need to compromise on, and collective leadership to reach the goals of the entire provincial population to maintain the continuity of steady improvement instead of mirroring the political mahem that the rest of the country of Canada, has in it's expensive political system. Alberta is a province rich in it's priorities, that is made richer by out can do spirit. We beleive in one another. We believe that together, by working on behalf of the province's persons, we will achieve a low tax alternative to the politics of eastern Canada, where no ambition is overlooked as a result of wasted spending that comes with political turbulence. As one people, under one governing party for the majority of the provinces history, Alberta has been and will continue to be the leader in Canada. We set an example of a province where politics is done differently. We unite behind our politicians, and when someone from outside of our political system, namingly Jim Prentice, crashed the entire political system, we came together again with the best of Alberta. The parties that presently occupy our legislature have stood together despite our minor differences, to work towards the long term goals in our province. Our parties chose to unite against the federal Jagmeet Singh, whom proposed shutting down our oil sands, while working with the incumbent liberals despite pushing to put an Albertan conservative party into power again to secure our future. The Alberta's Rachel Notley led government followed in the footsteps of Peter Lougheeds Progressive conservatives. Rachel Notley's party looked to rebrand amid the most opportunist reaction of the inexperienced Jagmeet Singh to bulldoze the leader of Alberta's province for failing to support his ill intended bid for leadership. 

We believe in sustainable planning, and the Alberta Government of Rachel Notley formed, by searching the entire province for candidates to form the best possible government while Jim Prentice presented an illegal, fraudulent option for the two conservative parties to merge but maybe not merge, while maybe completing a merger before and or after the election, but without the floor crossing leader Danielle Smith, and without the leadership race needed between himself and Brian Jean to secure a legitimate conservative contender. I have never seen a more distructive leader in charge of our political system. With the combination of Mayors Naheed Nenshi and Mayors Don Iveson, both opting not to form government and represent an experienced post in Alberta Politics, Albertans chose to come together while the RCMP investigated the spectacle of the man whose illegal election offer, was no longer capable of being answered for by the man choosing not to follow the rules. When Naheed Nenshi and Iveson failed to step up to lead our province, it was our most seasoned politicians in the legislature, and our former Prime Minister and his best friend Jason Kenney. Jason Kenney stepped into politics, putting  a side his own ambitions of restoring a conservative government federally, in favour of restoring stability in the province of Alberta. Naheed Nenshi felt he could do PC politics better than anyone else, with everyone that always was involved in the last 40 years of governing, and yet refused to do so. Iveson refused the Alberta media interviewers suggestion that he, as a vocal critic and experienced mayor should or could run for leader of the PCs. Fair enough. Iveson chose to end his tenure, as mayor, continuing to champion our long term provincially partnered projects such as the ice district, while completing the infrastructure upgrades he had taken over to complete after Edmonton Mayor Stephen Mandel left to join the PC government as health minister.  He was resoundingly reelected with no close contender comming in second. He was later replaced by present mayor Amarjeet Sohi, whom was elected with again similar margin. Nenshi  was elected with a much smaller margin after the former president of PC Alberta, ran against him before receiving such a severe injury that he would have been incapable of forming government effectively as mayor in Calgary. 

When Albertans come together, it is within the vital interests of the province that we unite behind those whom are able to provide experienced leadership, and continuity that allows for our hospital upgrades, social program funding, and low tax structure to continue, as we work with out existing long term project goals, and partnerships to build the province we dream up together as one Alberta. Naheed Nenshi  let us down once. If he could not do the job as premier better than Jim Prentice, then he will not be appropriately advocating anything but joining one Progressive, and, Conservative governing party- where together we can lead Alberta forward into a place with the best possible opportunities for prosperity and low taxation. Under Notley, and under the present UCP, we have the largest group of federal conservative supporting politicians leading in our provinces history. Why are Notley's former ministers and memebers conservative federal advocates? It is as a result of the hard pressed decisions of the Notley's government  to back the only party in Alberta advocating to restore out provincial sovreignty over our own oilsands, our own funding of our province, and to take back to Ottawa, a plan that advocates for an Alberta built to lead, not an Alberta built to follow the example of others with a more bleak future. It is Alberta whom champions the highest living standards in the country, promotes home ownership, and makes sustainable investments in our education. It is in Alberta that we continue to have no PST, and work to add additional education services beyond the age of 17, carrying up through university in a way that works for Albertan's not for Ottawa. 

Naheed Nenshi  has the opportunity to join our government and his own group of experienced ministers. As Critics, the former Notley government has helped direct the course of our current government towards the continued long term interests in Alberta. It is under the present post Prentice governments that we have made efforts to become more inclusive of our own families, and to move towards a sustainable centrist vision that does not move too far to the right or too far into debt.   Naheed Nenshi has the opportunity to silence his critics. Naheed Nenshi  can exasperate the existing government critics, and move new members into their posts by claiming that he is doing just the same as any leader would do when they take control of their own party. Not so fast. Naheed Nenshi  has a bigger role to play in Alberta. His job is to bring people together with our existing experienced politicians. It isn't revival to promote inexperience and political radicalization. If he cannot govern with  the existing politicians that already promote our interests, why is he even there? Removing the former ministers would muzzle the interests of Albertans to advance Naheed Nenshi's  own personal ambitions. He could have already done so, but instead let Prentice form government. He has some questions to answer for when he decides to be the most non constructive critic of the Albertan government. Everyone wants a better future in this province. That means that we need the people whom are capable, and, experienced to elevate our dialogue to match the ambitions of a forward thinking Alberta, that works for everyone not just the privileged Calgary city council. 

Naheed Nenshi  has an ability to consolidate power. Get rid of every single former minister and then discredit any ministers he looks to unseat, in order to get into power. Why on earth did he not already do this when he was claiming that the province alone was needing to provide money to Calgary. He doesn't unseat the mayor of Calgary presently. He seems to be just fine with established power, in Calgary. In Calgary, established power gets to continue doing their jobs without malice shown towards those whose hard work and sacrifice creates jobs, and sustainable infrastructure plans with participation of the private sector. I don't have a question most specifically ,that would encompass my own belief that he needs to be on the same page as the rest of us. I do however have a request for Mr. Naheed Nenshi. Mr. Naheed Nenshi, please, on behalf of Albertans, and further myself,  work to join our political legislature not push the people that stepped up when you didn't out the doors.
