Dear Jeff:

IV students interested in the concept of independence on this America's Independence Day, here are some interesting factoids on the Independent Member of Parliament IV St. Albert, Mr. Brent Rathgeber, QC.

1. His law degree is from the University Of Saskatchewan, also where Premier Alison Redford, Progressive Conservative, Calgary-Elbow received her law degree.

2. Brent was the Progressive Conservative Member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from MMI-MMIV for the riding of Edmonton-Calder.

3. Brent headed up the Progressive Contractors Association Of Alberta after leaving politics.

4. Brent has been the MP for Edmonton-St. Albert since MMVIII, being elected as a Conservative before switching to Independent status.

Thomas Jefferson & John Adams,

Rory
