Dear Adriana:

It seems appropriate my title today on this 41st day of the Canadian Election & with my 41st straight day putting up a blog post to represent the late Former 41st United States President George Herbert Walker Bush & his son the Former 43rd United States President George Walker Bush in this the death throes of the 43rd Federal Election of The Dominion Of Canada. Family relationships can at times be rather strained but the II George's seemed pretty okay with 1 another & George Walker (Ellen Degeneres-de Rossi's best friend) painted the top of these two paintings to showcase that special relationship with his dad. So I strongly encourage families to go to Elections Canada voting stations today, vote, & take their children so they that they are all together to witness democracy in action!

P.S.: Of & for the record, Mrs. Ellen Degeneres-de Rossi is a registered national Democratic Party member with California residency. So this is a nice bipartisanship friendship with George Walker!

Dear Adriana:

At polling stations tomorrow, Elections Canada employees, observers, & the voting public must make sure that the entrances & exits for voting are easy to access. Especially for disabled voters with mobility issues & also devices such as walkers, scooters, wheelchairs, etc. Once in the polling station, voters once they have established proper identification & received their ballot with the initials of the Deputy Returning Officer (DRO) on it, must make sure it is in good shape & not tampered with once they get behind the polling booth to vote. So quality polling stationary. As well, the writing utensil, pencils for Elections Canada must be constantly kept sharp throughout the voting day. And resharpened &/or replaced as necessary to ensure an absolutely clean & totally fair vote!

Bring Proper Identification & Your Voter Card To Smooth The Voting Process Along,

Dear Adriana:

In the "campaign" to get used sporting equipment to youth & families who cannot afford it, the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation is on the right track. The Oilers could make Semenko IIIrd jerseys with Dave's image on them & "Dave's Drive" logo IIIrd jerseys as well for sale as they could be used to raise funds as well. They call it "Dave's Drive" in memory of the legend number #27 Dave Semenko whose skill in the fighting & bodychecking arena of hockey was just as valuable as any scoring player in helping the team win multiple Stanley Cups. It really is just an offshoot of the exact same idea of the old "Tiger Goldstick Fan Club." (Tiger would have been quite pleased to have Dave's name succeed him as its all about the kids first) with the assistance of the great John Short (over 80 & still writing awesome sports columns) collected used sporting goods. I as a a child got to help pick these items up & take them to Tiger's Depot for distribution. I believe this was at the old CFRN Television Broadcast Studios (now CTV Edmonton) Plus I got to meet many of these great kids at Edmonton Trappers Baseball Games in Tiger's Club Box.

So In This Election "Campaign" Season Please Support "Dave's Drive",

Dear Adriana:

Polls like anything else in elections & in betwixt them are fluid. Maybe they are a "snapshot in time", & maybe they are indeed accurate. But you have to allow for the fact that people surveyed will lie to call centre employees doing the surveys. Or they might change their vote in the polling station and vote another option or spoil &/or reject their ballot.

Poll This Poll That,

A Clarification

October XVIIth, MMXIX

Hon. Adriana LaGrange, MLA, Minister of Education, United Conservative, Red Deer-North

Dear Adriana:

Former Edmonton-Strathcona Green Party Of/De Canada Michael Kalamanovitch has indeed ceased campaigning early. But the votes cast for him are not "null & void" like people suggest. As Mike mentioned on 630 Ched Radio's "The Ryan Jespersen Show" this morning, he hasn't actually filed his withdrawal papers (they were due Sep. XXXth, MMXIX) & is just telling people to vote for the New Democratic Party Of/De Canada Heather McPherson instead. So folks who voted in the Advance Polls for him or on Special Ballot still will have their votes counted. It does go to show that the Green Party will quit early on you. Even their leader Elizabeth May (quite often drunk off her ass in public & refusing to get treatment) has spent 2/3rd of the election in her own riding as she isn't really gaining any traction. Thus proving that this is a party that should never form the federal government! Plus this whack job was on the Walterdale Bridge disrupting people's lives & traffic when he should have been at work running his shitty Earth's General Store! Good riddance freak! As for Greta Thunberg I have Asperger's Syndrome like her so I understand her autistic mindset but at least I can answer questions put to me, she's a fraud as she can't answer questions. All she does is read prepared statements written for her. Send her packing with a 1 way ticket back to Stockholm & a lifetime ban from Alberta! She's not welcome as far as I'm concerned we need our energy resources!

Hon. Adriana LaGrange, MLA, Minister of Education, United Conservative, Red Deer-North

Dear Adriana:

It is not just up to the parties & their vote organizers to get voters who have indicated support to the polls, it is up to the citizenry themselves. Citizens should be grateful as many folks giving them rides are not being paid & are using their own time & fuel. A great sacrifice when they could be instead looking for work.

Voting Is A Group Effort,

It's A Crapshoot

Hon. Adriana LaGrange, MLA, Minister of Education, United Conservative, Red Deer-North

Dear Adriana:

Here in Edmonton-Riverbend, its generally considered pretty safe that incumbent Matt Jeneroux of the Conservative Party Of/De Canada will win a second term without any difficulty. But some other swimmers here today expressed a frustration that they could not always get a hold of him even when his staff communicated on his behalf that he'd be getting back. Part of this can be explained as he has to live part of the year in Ottawa. But like any other riding in this, or in any election "it's a crapshoot."

No Upper Limit

So Liberal Defense Minister Hon. Harjit Sajjan, PC & Vancouver-South Candidate as well as Liberal Veterans Affairs Minister Hon. Lawrence MacAulay, PC & Cardigan Candidate are cutting the medical payments for veterans & armed forces personnel by 90% under the direction of Liberal Prime Minister Rt. Justin Trudeau, PC & Papineau Candidate. These are men & women who have served in peacekeeping &/or combat under fired & who work for wages & benefits much lower than what could get in the private sector. Soldiers and veterans should not have to fight tooth & nail & beg for what they are entitled to as part of their service! I was born on November XIth, MCMLXXIV (11th, 1974) so I feel really bad when those in service (or who have served) to this great country in the military get mistreated.

There really should be no upper limit on expenses for those who have served & those who are serving. You don't see that loser Chief Of Defense Staff Canadian Armed Forces Jon Vance getting any pay cuts do you? I guarantee any medical procedures he needs will be fully funded. Plus he got well over $100,000.00 in raises from the PMO to cover up for Mr. Trudeau's arrogance in the Vice-Admiral Mark Norman affair which the admiral was falsely accused of misconduct. Vance has had 5 Vice-Chiefs of Defense. Including the now Deputy Alberta Municipal Affairs Minister Paul Wynnyk who thought Vance so incompetent he retired after what 3.5 weeks on the job?

What People Actually Care About!

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., Super Flea Market 111 Avenue Courtesy Wifi, Edmonton, Alberta

October XIIIth, MMXIX

Hon. Adriana LaGrange, MLA, Minister of Education, United Conservative, Red Deer-North

Dear Adriana:

As merchants get set up here for opening in less than an hour, I chat with a few over coffee in the breakfast area which opens before the Super Flea Market 10AM opening hour. What they & their customers care about is health care, how they are going to get steady jobs to feed themselves & their families. As well as senior care, child care, crumbling infrastructure, & endless debt plus living on the edge of homelessness from paycheque to paycheque & yes far too many refugees with absolutely no skills to contribute to The Dominion Of Canada except to suck it dry leaving less for Canadians & legal immigrants in both jobs & benefits. They don't give a "flying fuck" about whether Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau picks up an extra cheque as a substitute brown/black/1st Nations faced minstrel as they already know he's a class clown. Or if Conservative Leader Andy Scheer pays taxes in two countries and cannot actually sell insurance. Nor do they care that New Democratic Leader Jagmeet Singh cannot get a visa to enter India due to his "camel jockey" status. People need to survive & not worry that People's Party Leader Maxime Bernier is a psychotic spaz who couldn't lead a horse to water, or that Green Party Leader Elizabeth May is an open drunk. Or that the Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet has no business in the debates. People need jobs & economic stability so they can once again have happiness in life!

Hon. Adriana LaGrange, MLA, Minister of Education, United Conservative, Red Deer-North

Dear Adriana:

I commend Elections Canada for expanding the Advance Poll opening hours from 9am-9pm. When I worked for them in the past they were 12pm-8pm. Sherwood School on this IInd of 4 Advance Poll voting days is where I would have voted had I chose to vote in the Advance rather than the Special Ballot option at the former Royal Alberta Museum site since I live in Edmonton-Centre. Grovenor School is where I would have had to vote if I was to have cast a ballot on Election, Monday, October XXIst, MMXIX itself. Folks across The Dominion Of Canada will vote in community halls, schools, places of worship, & all sorts of locations. The one fault I have is that Elections Canada is only offering 4 days of Advance Polls whereas Elections Alberta provided for 5, with arguably a much smaller voting base!

A Wide Location Variety,

Let us hope that the federal party leaders go at their debate with gusto & even after each other in the discussion on political points during tonight's English Language Leader's Debate in the Gatineau, Quebec. I also hope that they are respectful of the five moderators who are excellent journalists & have a tough job in balancing out their own questions & those from Canadian voters. As well as making sure each of the leaders gets roughly equal time, much harder in a six way split!

Dear Adriana:

In the never ending "campaign" against domestic & workplace violence, especially in this election season, we must hold our political leaders to account as well. On June XXVth, MMXIX, Fort McMurray Mayor Don Scott (an ex-PC Alberta MLA & Jim Prentice (may he rest in peace) cabinet minister as well I believe) is "alleged" to have both verbally & physically assaulted Ward 1 Fort Mac Councillor Keith McGrath. If true then the Mayor should of course resign & receive the same punishment as any citizen would get in a court of law. This is a situation not talked about that much where a man is "alleged" to have assaulted another man. But it can & is just a serious if it is a adult male/female or child or vice versa. Or if a say a teenager or adult is assaulting an elder or senior citizen.

All Bad All The Time,

Rory
