Hon. Adriana LaGrange, MLA, Minister of Education, United Conservative, Red Deer-North
Dear Adriana:
I am truly sorry to hear of the murder of Cypress County Ward IX Councillor Alfred Belyea, representing Jenner & Suffield. Then to find out his wife has been charged with his murder. I mean what can I say? I feel sorry for Coun. Belyea's family as they have to lay him to rest & go through the indignity of a trial for Mrs. Belyea.
This is just like that murder on Friday of that popular Tory backbench British MP Sir David Amess, representing Southend-West for over XXXVIII (eight & thirty) consecutive years (amazing record), getting stabbed to death, so very tragic, a true "man of the people." We must learn to protect our politicians/decision makers better, backbencher or cabinet officer whilst still making them available to the public, (we have to strike a balance on just how public they are for their own safety) especially their constituents, as well as their families & staffs. Thus we must give Her Majesty's security teams the very best of resources to do their jobs with!.
Since the days of The Dominion Of Canada's first political assassination, that of sitting Conservative MP Thomas D'Arcy McGee, representing Montreal-West in MDCCCLXVIII (1868), in Her Majesty Queen Victoria's Government of The Rt. Hon. Sir John A Macdonald, Conservative, representing Kingston, there has always been this risk & its just sad as these politicians give up so much of their family lives to serve we can do better!
Deeply Depressing,
Rory
