No sooner does Parliament recess, than I am preparing for a full day of events to celebrate Canada Day, and then . . . right in to honouring our proud western heritage at Stampede – truly the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth! The festival is equal parts work and celebration for me, which I think perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Calgary and the hardworking, fun-loving people who call it home.
I really appreciated all the feedback I received from so many people over the past month. In this job, it’s important to stay connected to the people we represent, and I am thankful for all the feedback many of you provided.
While it has been a steadily growing theme since I first ran for office five years ago, I hear even more concerns about affordability and the impact that it’s having on households across the country. Although that financial hardship has become clearer, the Liberal government continues to double down on their policies of spending taxpayer funds they do not have and loading that burden onto young people. Most of us don’t want to do this to our children. The illusion that someone will pay tomorrow for what we spend today ignores the notion of passing a better nation to those who follow us. I will continue to push for accountability.
I hope to see you at the Marda Gras Street Festival on August 11 or the Chinatown Street Festival on August 17. Both are great opportunities to share in Calgary’s varied neighbourhood celebrations.
