The Assemblywomen-Laurie Blakeman, MLA

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., Calder (Kensington) Public Library Terminal #XIV, Edmonton, Alberta

January XIXth, MMXV

Hon. Gordon Dirks, B. Ed., M. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, Progressive Conservative, Calgary-Elbow

Dear Gordon:

Truly an amazing person & one of my favourite politicians of all time, Laurie Blakeman, MLA turned an issue for a community into a winner & got it successfully got passed in III weeks of legislative sitting time, a bill on Gay-Straight Alliances in schools. I one-hundred% back gay marriage & GSA rights. That being said, Laurie did a great job on the file in order to cause your government maximum embarrassment (which is her job.) As an aside, 630AM Ched Radio News decided to stop reporting hard news XX (20) years ago. Don't anyone tell Bob Layton that he can't write decent editorials anymore. It would be nice if Ched News Director Syd Smith changed headlines more than once every XLVIII (48) hours!

"Gay-straight peer support groups have been proven to reduce suicide in our gay youth."

Alta. Legislative Assembly Ten,

Rory
