Reston's real jewel - Destiny Watt !!!

I have had the extreme privilege to be working with Destiny Watt in the past few weeks. I have to tell you this girl is good. She is forthright, intelligent, well versed in the school of politics and a hard worker. She is Scott Fielding's (City Councillor for St.James) Executive Assistant and he is a lucky man to have her on his side. With people like Destiny involved in politics I am damn sure that life will change for the better. Our world and our province is better place because of consummate workers and compassionate people like Destiny. She hails from Reston Manitoba and comes from a long line of actively involved Tories. I won't hold that against her:):)) Man I have to tell you I have met some great people from all parts of Manitoba - Pinnawa being the best one for me in the last 2 years, but also Morris, Morden, Carmen, Hottie Heather Doroschuk from Gimli, Reston, Churchill, Portage and Donna Rempel from Brandon is just awesome as well!!! Life is good when you come across good people to share it with and I am very happy to have met Destiny.

Marvin Krawec - Next Liberal MLA for Portage!!

In doing my business this morning I came across three seasoned Liberal foot soldiers - Shawn Rawlings, Jean Roy and Marvin Krawec. They informed me of the best Liberal news I have heard in years ...Marvin Krawec is running for the Provincial Liberals. Marvin and I go back to the 80's and he is a man of honour, dignity and intelligence that will serve the voters of Portage la Prairie well. He is Gerrard Kennedy's Uncle and was the driving force behind Gerrard's success her in Manitoba. Marvin has been involved with Liberal Politics all his life and is a retired School Teacher whom was popular with his students. He is a strong member of the Dr.Gerrard's team and adds a big boost to Liberal fortunes in Manitoba. Portage was a Liberal bastion under Gordon Johnston withstanding PC and NDP Government in the late 60's and through the 70's. Past candidates Helen Christofferson, David Quinn and Hugh Moran have all had very good showings and with Ian MacKenzie no longer Mayor and capable of supplying support you will see good things come from Marvin's Team.

Political Play of the Week - Jack on mark with his comments on low flying Erin!!!

Erin Selby has proven on Day 1 of the Election Campaign in Manitoba that she is ill equipped and not a serious contender for office. She should go back to reading script and playing "happy smiley" and leave the art of politics to other more serious candidates- of both genders. Her outrage for comments made by Jack Reimer, a man of integrity and honour and whom if you knew even an iota of what he does and represents would respect for not only his approach but also his commitment to the good people of Niakwa/Southdale. The very public offense which Ms. Selby chose to share is a sign that the NDP will stop at nothing to "make issues out of nothing" and take the low road. Pointedly, the "talk-a-lot-do-nothing" NDP were set to ask for a public apology from the PC's for Jack Reimer's comments that Erin Selby, a former TV Host on the lowest rated TV station in Manitoba and in fact a women, was nothing more than wall paper at a recent announcement by the "Tax and Spend" NDP leader Gary Doer from Southdale. Jack Reimer the PC representative of the past two decades was on mark as the NDP are trying to make something out in the riding that do not have a hope in winning. I mean affluent young families want good quality honest representation not tokenism. They have received good quality representation under Reimer and Liberal Herold Dreidger before him. Say what you want about Jack but he has done his work, made everything in the constituency a priority had Perogy Wednesday every week of his tenure and made a point to stay in touch. An example of his commitment came to me in 1992. At the time I lived in the riding and was the Provincial Liberal Riding Association President for 5 years in the 90's. I found it hard not to like the man but above all I respected his commitment. Upon my graduation from U of M and my acceptance at Law School he sent me letters of congratulations. I phoned and thanked him as I thought it was a nice touch. Ms. Selby attempt to accuse the man of making a poor gender related comment which was i fact the truth she did not do anything other than provide a smiling happy face for Doer. Ms. Selby is just plain wrong and brings politician into a very low morale ground with her shameful comments. Shame on you NDP and shame on you Erin Selby and I hope the voters of Southdale see through your thinly vieled facade.

NDP Years Over

Premier Doer has called a Convention Centre Conference for 6 pm today and the Writ will drop and the curtain will drop on 9 years of talk and mismanagement of taxpayers funds. Early Prediction here - Tory Majority. Let the debates heat up !! NDP Record - No movement on Health Care, Financial Mismanagement in Health Boards, Crocus "duck and weave" and children dieing in the care of the Province PLUS an inability to keep our youth and brains in Manitoba. BYE BYE Gary !!!!

Change, Growth and Life!!!

It has been sometime since I last blogged. A of late I have spent time in completing the Liberal AGM tasks and looking, deeply, at my personal life and concentrating on areas that I am trying to get a stronger feel for what I want out of myself. Pointedly, I am at a time in my life where I really do not suffer fools easily and as of late lots of emotional laden issues are coming out. As a result I am trying to get some more food for my spirit by reading some neat new authors, spending time outside, keeping committed to my workouts, meeting a lot more people and not to be too prideful but as of late I have been asked out on "dates" far more often than I enjoy. I know what I want in an "equal partner for life" and she is everything and then some - extrodinaire, vivacious, family oriented, kind , caring, drop dead gorgeous and thought provoking however she is not at the same place as I am.
Real life in technicolour and FULL force.
As of late I am re-thinking, shifting paradigms, emotionally growing with a spurt and I have significant amount of clarity on what I want to make of my life. I really enjoy my daughter, my family, my community, life, sports, politics, people, spirituality, music, new ideas and concepts for the future ..AND most important to this human condition is that I enjoy the engagement of communications - the art of discussion and dialogue. I find the blog is helping to shape and clarify my thoughts but I also realize that in keeping with my role as Corporate Sales Person, I love people and their ideas, thoughts and opinions and engaging them in whatever setting on their thoughts. I grow each time this happens and it creates a really calming energy that we live in a great country - Canada is a magnificent place to live, work and play in, I also empathize with my fellow human being and enjoy the socialization. One glaring omission has been illuminated - I have put off my own needs for others far too frequently.
Today, April 11, 2007 I want to start acting on my needs and desires and clearly achieving all that I want from life AND what I want my partner is. Learn, love, laugh and LIVE to its fullest ! As a result I am going to take some time away from the Blog to feed my spirit and my soul but first I must leave this one sentiment wrapped in a quest with ALL my fellow cyberspacers -

LIFE , if not enjoyed to the fullest, is it really living or is it dieing?

Dion to the Rescue of CWB!!

Stephane Dion in Saskatoon announced this yesterday. The protection of Farmers in the West and the defence of our tried and true Canadian method for surviving in the Global Marketplace of the 21st century are well protected with a Liberal Government.
